Have we even got VAR?

[Nick]

Has this even been fitted? If so, can the production company or whoever do it now actually pull their fingers out their arse.

Zero clue in the ground about what's going on. Are things being checked on VAR? Any chance of replays and showing what's going on?

Going to that, I have no clue what was checked or looked at during the game.

It's miles off what happens at other games that have had var where its constantly showing things on the screen.

They even had rudoni down for the red card for about 5 minutes.

They reviewed the Awoniyi one but took ages

Think it must a PL protocol that their are no or very few replays of incidents etc.

Even at Man City / Arsenal so far they have "VAR REVIEW" etc on the screens as they are happening.

Something quickly flashed up on the scoreboard about 20mins after the red.

I think that was just a weird screenshot of a tweet or something?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

If I’m not wrong, they don’t show the incidents via replays so no trouble is caused in the ground.

Was the convo between the ref and var official explaining the decision

Yep no replays just an explanation of the decision ages after the fact. The whole VAR experience as a fan in the stands is awful, just waiting around and not being told anything at the time. I assume there were replays and angles etc. on Sky.

Don’t know if the rules have changed this season but yes odd there’s been zero mention of it or replays.

I get that they might not show the replays but nothing to say "var check" or anything like that.

All the production stuff is crap and has gone backwards.

I’m not sure the benefit of showing the game we’re all watching in persons, on the screen and with a second or two delay.

Or teasing a reply then showing an advert at the pivotal moment (other then for the company who’s advert it is).

Just show the teams - as they did at random points today - replays and anything happening VAR wise.

It even showed Rudoni as the man sent off for a good few minutes

Apparently cwr said it was him as well?

I can see the mixup, pretty much look like twins.

there’s a few things the ref got wrong today, and I’ve mentioned on another thread the foul on onyeka where he has two hands on him and you can see he’s pushed to the ground and the ref waved it away and laughed, from the replay it looked even worse. Surely if VAR aren’t intervening on these clear and obvious mistakes there’s no point to it!

Right at the start it set the tone where he didn't give us a free kick but then gave one against us straight after that was the game.

The bloke with the hairline should have been booked for persistent fouling as well.

I don’t think the ref is to blame fully, I’ve said it many times before though, when you are down on your luck and those blatant decisions go against you it drags you down further and really hurts the confidence.

He also got in the way of our players a couple of times, the biggest being when dasilva was just outside the area, and he had to go round the ref to get to the ball. If the ref hadn’t been in the way he might’ve got a shot off or a quick pass, to one of our strikers who knock it in.

I think it was Rudoni went up for a header and had to stop himself because the ref was in the way.

Silly prick.

Another thing I realised is the inconsistency, Sunderland got a penalty slat the weekend for the push by Konsa at the corner. EMC got pushed to the ground, the ref blew up had a word with their player, no penalty awarded. In the same weekend they shouldn’t be awarding one team a penalty and not another, makes a mockery of it all.

You only had to see the Foden sending off to see about inconsitencies.

For once I wasn't really moaning about the ref in the OP it was more that in the ground there's literally nothing saying there's VAR, VAR checks etc. Granted I have only been to our away games so far to compare to but they have images saying "VAR CHECK" etc so people know what's going on.
