VAR

[WillD]

Last game we played the Mags.
A karate kick on Hume by Elanga, VAR, nothing.

A dive by Elanga that clearly showed no contact, foul and yellow card to Hume.

Elanga dives in the box with no contact, the ref waves play on, should have been a yellow card.

Brobbey get punished for pulling Botmans shirt. Botman pulls Brobbeys shirt nothing.

O'nien pulling a shirt in the box, VAR nothing.

It was inconsistent by both the ref and VAR.

I'd like to see VAR without the graphical representations and true footage.

Var only intervene when the want too
Even if they don’t need to that’s why it’s used incorrectly
They just love to be in charge rightly or wrongly

'Game killer' or 'fairer' - Does the Championship need VAR?

BBC Sport examines the arguments for and against and the thoughts across the Championship over the contentious issues of whether to bring in VAR.

BBC discussion on the use of VAR in the Champioship. Most fans in their survey appear not to want it but managers apparently do.

Sheffield United fans are still crying about its use in the Play Off Final, however if that goal had stood they would be stinking out the Premier Lleague and saving Wolves from the bottom spot. They are not exactly leading the promotion chase.

Personally I have mixed feelings about VAR, mainly the time taken to make decisions killing the game but overall it has its benefits. What does everyone else think?

The length of time it takes to check things is frustrating.

Some of the offside decisions are pathetic. Like being ruled offside by a toenail or an eyelash. If a good portion of your body is ahead, you can argue it's deliberate as the player must have known they've run ahead. If a miniscule body part is offside that can only be spotted in a freeze frame with lines drawn across it, I fail to see how that can be deliberate. It probably looked fine in real time.

I agree, how can a player ever know that their foot, arm etc. are inches past an opponent. Some very good goals have been disallowed for that.

What is also annoying is assistant referees not flagging for offside straight away but letting play continue and then flagging once the player has played the ball. So frustrating

The one the other week, think it was Palacr where a player had a nose a bit of forehead and 4 fingers ahead was offside!
