Wont happen. The ref will just restart the game. If they still want to stand and protest so be it, other team will just go and score.
Not all change is good to somebody. I live without a Smartphone. But you weren't making such a sensible post previously, you were intimating a simple complaint that everything will change and the game will be completely different. Don't complain about a snide dinosaur comment then make one about turning the sport into a video game. You see some controversy over some VAR decisions as different; I see more corrected decisions as progress. The injustices were "too often" more often before. Now they're less often. That is progress. There is still some progress to be made. You're not the only one evaluating. But innovation needs beta tests and sometimes that means taking it out of the lab and releasing it to users. It'll never be perfect but that's not a good enough reason to freeze the status quo. The offside rule was changed due to demand. People were sick of the old rule. VAR was changed because people like you and I were sick of seeing instant replays and wondering why the referee wasn't allowed to. It was ludicrous, never mind Luddite. It's interesting you complain about autotune. It's a common complaint of people who are unaware of double tracking, which was autotune before autotune. Everybody did it. Your record collection is full of it. Kurt Cobain refused to do it, until Butch Vig told him John Lennon did it, then suddenly all Cobain's pretensions of credibility went out the window. It thickens a vocal and made it more in tune. There's also comping, a practise of recording a number of performances in the studio, then selecting the best example of each line. And this is before we get onto all those other black boxes in the effects rack over there. So autotune is different but it's doing the same job. It's just quicker, so saves studio time, which as far as the band paying for it out of their advance is concerned - think of them as the team being awarded a penalty - is progress.
Well, I can resort to ad hominem tactics as well, when required. I am aware of double or multi- tracking techniques to fatten vocals, but you didn't know that, so thank you for the information. AutoTune was developed to mask the fact that lots of singers can't actually sing in tune, quantising to make a marketable product of rhythm sections that can't keep rhythm. Instead we have the homogenising effect we hear in most chart music today. A prime example of a laudable aim going horribly wrong (though that, too, is a matter of opinion). Music by robots, as far removed from the intimacy and energy of live, unprocessed performance as seems possible. Like VAR, it's not the tech that is questionable, but the appropriateness of its use, whether or not the essence of the endeavour is enhanced or just altered. I repeat, not everything new is necessarily an improvement, but whether or not it is is down to our old friend subjectivity. You like the change, I have serious doubts. Unless one of us changes our minds over time then we'll continue to disagree, which is how it should be.
It's only progress if you see it as progress. For those who enjoy the game as it is [or the music as it was], it isn't progress. As far as VAR is concerned it's meant to improve the game - which is one definition of progress - but what if it 'improved' it so much it eliminated all refereeing errors. Would that be progress? Only to a certain audience, not to all.
so Peru get a reward for their decent showings and Aussies are going home. the France Denmark game is a nothing one as a result with both sides happy with draw? Hopefully tonight there is better fare when I actually get to see them

Missed the French game, seems that was the wise choice. So Congratulations to France and Denmark for being the first boring ****s to play out a 0-0 #dockedpointsfornilnil
I think the question is not whether VAR is an improvement but whether they (football authorities) are implementing it properly. I have followed football almost as long as you (but not quite) . Yes it does affect the flow of the game and the waiting for a decision is irritating but I have no doubt in my mind that it is needed. Football is not like basketball tennis or volleyball where many points are scored and rarely does one specific incident leads to a major outcome. In football, we’ve had players scoring a crucial goal with their hands (ala Henry) and depriving a whole country of their rightful WC place. After all the injustices, I would prefer a goal to be a “true” goal not some wrongful decision by the ref or assistants.
I'd rather wait 2minutes whilst some nobs in a basement look over instant replays to get the correct decision rather than lose a game because the ref made mistakes. That's as simple as VAR is for me. Just needs some ironing out with the likes of who calls for VAR, when and what for.
