Fair dos, I think it's a sad state of affairs but with Former refs admitting bias and the ref governing body ordering Refs to say they haven't seen incidents(Which they have) so they can over turn decisions they've proved humans can't be trusted to uphold the integrity of the game. That and referees allowing diving and cheating to take a hold in the game. There's no choice now. Tech isn't ruining the game. Humans are.

Completely agree. I don't have a problem with refs or players making honest mistakes but the biggest 'human' problem are those players who, let's say, try and encourage the ref to better their cause. ... i.e. cheat. Cut that ****e out and it will greatly reduce the requirement for VAR.

Yep, every problem in football is down to humans, their dishonesty and greed. It's become a sham of a sport.

Yes I tend to agree.
Yet watch Sunday league pub teams & they tend not to do it.
Them lads try to put an honest shift in.

Only major between the two is the absence of money, the contrast as a result is worlds apart in terms of integrity of the sport. It's still the beautiful game at grassroots level.

Indeed & there is the answer as to what's ruined it as a sport - money.
The pub lads play for **** all because they love to play.
While the likes of Roswell sit on his lazy fat arse picking up his 70k a week.

The pub lads pay to play. Subs have to be paid to keep the teams afloat to hire pitches and pay registrations.

I'm not talking about errors, i'm on about certain information coming to light meaning we don't know if they're errors or blatant cheating from refs. Refs have proved there's a lack of honesty and integrity from within. Errors are mistakes, accidents. That's not what I'm on about. You want your game back to normal deal with the cheats. They are the reason for this not the tech, the tech is a solution to cheating bastards. it just so happens catch mistakes on the way. In less than a minute too. 2 or 3 minutes are regularly wasted from players crowding the ref so it's likely more efficient too.

I don't disagree and to me if a player aggressively queries the ref's decision straight red or yellow. I did this as a local league referee. But will this happen in the professional game ????
 
VAR should only be used for something that is definite. Offsides, goal line tech, and that's about it. It certainly shouldn't be used for something that is based on opinion.

Shearer said "definite penalty" on Willian! Bollocks! He says that cos he loved a dive himself (I remember a sky ad of him leaving his foot in and falling over without contact. I remember watching it live as he got up and slaughtered the ref!!).

I suppose it's early days but I don't see why if every other sport that employs technology to aid, or make, decisions, gets it to work, WHY CAN'T FOOTBALL.

Rugby Union. Rugby League. Tennis. Cricket.

These sports use technology to great advantage.
They have eliminated most of the mistakes due to human error.

So other than the involvement of The FA, what's the problem in football?

Totally agree mate. It ain't rocket science.
 
Already spoiling the game.
They haven't got a ****ing clue.
There's not a single person knows why WBA had that goal struck off.
Pool get a pen that never was & miss it.
****ing ruining the game this like.

It was for offside, it must be right. The pen had now to do with VAR, it was the Ref watching back a replay.
