Var

[Cannylad]

From what i understand, they can tell the ref and then its his choice to use VAR.

So England game, they tell him and he ignores . . . His right to do so.
Brazil game, they tell him and he reviews. . . no Brazil penalty.

Totally unreliable for me, too many if's, but's and maybe's.

[MidsMagpie]

Its a total mess, some really soft penalties have been given yet they ignored the two most clearest with Kane and Mitrovic plus the two handed shove on the Brazilian player for the swiss goal. Makes you wonder what they are doing in their little booth

[ghostrider]

It shows one thing. It shows that the VAR is deliberately being used to create massive issues so that they can do away with it and carry on ripping us all off in favour of the chosen elites and also the pockets of the big wigs.

As usual people will end up manipulated into acceptance of getting rid of VAR and back into the hands of incapable or dishonest officials that will decide multi million pound issues on a basic whim.

You sure? I thought I'd seen the ref listen to his earpiece then go and check something on the advice of VAR?

the vatr team tell the ref he needs to look at something
the reason i think the reffing has been dire at this world cup is the reliance on VAR

to many cooks etc

and no english refs as well
shocking
some of the lesser countries refs are just terrible
slow ,cant keep up with the game and not used to reffing big names

I agree, some of the refs have been very poor.

But there's a rabbit off with those VAR non-decisions on Mitrovic and Kane. There's an agenda somewhere.

Are you beginning a conspiracy theory Zip?

You would think the powers that be would be trying their utmost to put the VAR system in a good light and prove it's worth. After that mauling of Mitrovic not being caught it would seem to be the opposite, a blind man would have spotted it. As you say, very suspicious.
