Doesn't really impact the flow of the game. Same for ice hockey. Although i remember once seeing a team have a shot that actually went in but wasn't called on the ice, play went on for about 3 minutes until there was a penalty shot called on the same team and play was stopped. Original 'no' goal went to video review and was given, clock went back 3 minutes and they restarted. From potentially a goal down to a goal up!

That kind of situation will just make football a farce, in my opinion. The greatest goal you've ever seen could be scored and then chalked off because 3 minutes earlier the ball went out of play by an inch or something. Admittedly I am somewhat resistant to change, and I'm both cynical and capable of OTT reactions but this could signal the beginning of the end of football (written with a pinch of salt).

If that happened, which I'm not sure is even possible with the way they're implementing it, then the right decision will have been made. How is that a bad thing? What if it was an FA Cup final and the "greatest goal you've ever seen" was Man Utd equalising in the 94th minute vs Aston Villa? And the goal shouldn't have stood because the wrong decision was made in the build up? Technology has been introduced into countless other sports and they are always, as far as I know, better for it. I don't know why Football has this weird resistance to change running through it from top to bottom. But it's way behind on this aspect. It's about time it caught up. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original 'no' goal went to video review and was given, clock went back 3 minutes and they restarted. From potentially a goal down to a goal up! But in hockey there are probably 15-25 natural stops at least every period, often more. Add to that a power break every period and 2 possible time outs. That's easily 60-80 times per game that play is stopped and the ref stops play and has a face off. Every stop is about the same as when there is a substitution in football. A 60 minute game (effective time) takes 2.5-3 hours to finish most times. A couple of VAR challenges really isn't that noticeable and usually they put in a commercial break when it happens. In the Swedish SHL it's however gone to the point where it's used too often and the game sometimes loses it's flow. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDuck Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I can't stand the way they use DRS in the cricket. It doesn't get rid of all errors, just a handful of selected errors, and it makes it no fairer. On top of which it slows down an already slow game. The more I see it, the more I think bugger it, let the umpires/referees make the odd mistake just like the players do. It's become an issue because tv cameras scrutinise to the nth degree, and because of the pressure of the money involved in the game. Sure, it's not always fair, but neither is life. #istandwithhumanerror! Exception - in football I would like to see goal-line technology, and in cricket review the run outs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think DRS works well in cricket myself. As long as captains use it sensibly then it cuts out the blaring umpire errors of which there are many. Does it really slow the game down? I think overrates have slowed down so much these days that that is much more an issue than drs. As for football its a game which has ebbs and flows with one team having momentum then the other. My worry is that VAR will interrupt that flow and the game will become less attractive to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And England might have never won the WC in 66. Edit: And on the League Cup game I think the ref saw very well what happened, he just bottled it and I didn't want/dare make such a big call. VAR would not have changed that, nor do I think it will stop ref giving big calls to bigger teams. Edited January 12, 2018 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathon Pearce kind of threw the VAR aspect in there as I don't think it was on Carvahal's mind in the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Who knows whether Swansea would’ve gone on to win the game, but Southampton almost certainly would’ve won. In a game where there is so much money involved and managers can lose their jobs incredibly quickly, blatant handballs not being given is crazy. People are still against technology checking this? Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diame was the the player who handled on the line, and it was funny to me after consuming a few glasses of red wine. It worked well in my head at the time. I do agree that it was a red card for Diame and a penalty though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 So what’s the score with it? When and when doesn’t it get used? Is it the refs call? Assistants call? Is it all games now or just some games? Why wasn’t it used for Swansea? Southampton? Teams should get one review per half in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
