why would anyone bother to read a word of this members posts on VAR it is a shambles and reflect the obvious fact that Referee's and their ilk understand the rules but not the game of football very much like lfc in Birkenhead
It's fairly important for referees to understand the rules, but VAR has never been to Birkenhead, and neither have I.
I’m not even sure if he supports Liverpool being honest, doesn’t even say Merry Christmas to his so called fellow reds. Never post in match threads which extremely strange
He only ever post in the VAR thread after listening to all the facts then just repeats them.
One quality I do have is patience. So in case you forgot what I said the last time, I post what I have to say on this or any thread, when I'm ready. I do post in match threads, just not during the match itself, as it takes up all my concentration at the time. When it's over, then we can chat about what happened.
I made my position clear on VAR from Day 1 of it's use and unlike you, I have never changed it.
This time of the year has never been the most wonderful time of the year for me. And in certain regions of the world, December 25 is no more important than any other day. Throw in the curfews and the restrictions and the lockdowns in case someone gets a sore throat, and it's even less merry a time of year than it used to be.
However, when the t&c here states that "you are required to state Merry Christmas, even to those in parts of the world where Christmas is not merry or not the most wonderful time of the year", then I will obviously comply with the statement.
Don’t get me wrong we all know Robbo was a red, and nobody is arguing that
Wrong. A basic post search will show that you sparked off this running argument immediately after Robbo got his card, and targeting me specifically if I "stick up for this". Well most of us had no option but to do that, because it was clear and obvious what should happen. None of us is happy about it, but when the correct decision is made then I can't question it. Only now, a week later, do you admit that the decision was correct.
Wow, If it doesn’t guarantee the correct decision all the time then the exchange for the passion killer it is surely isn’t worth it
If you’re taking spontaneity and reaction from match going crowds then surely the only way to balance that is by saying that at least you know you’re getting the correct decision all the time not just some of the time
As you’ve been saying all along
Surely if we have to have this then it should remove mistakes ALL the time, pointless if not
Spontaneity has never won a point in the history of the game, but results have, so the results have to be right. VAR is not an experiment, it is now a permanent feature of every Liverpool league game, so if you're going to one of our games, you automatically accept that it may be needed, to get the right decision. As I will when I can go to my next one.
Other major sports simply accept that the use of technology is essential, and just get on with it. With VAR, the stats show we have more than 99% of decisions correct, within it's remit. And the amount of times you hear "good decision", "right decision", "correct decision" after it was used, shows that we're now getting the correct decision almost every single time. As we should, with everything that is resting on it.
