I agree: the ref should call for VAR, not VAR demanding that the ref should come to it. VAR is meant to assist the ref but some people seem to think it is there to overrule the on-field official. The referee is the final arbiter.

@abayomikelvin5153 4 ай бұрын

And that will reduce the mistakes how? The A in VAR stands for assistant, so they should notify the ref when they feel it is necessary like the linesmen do. The refs don't even know calls have been missed half the time.

@liamjohnson7887 4 ай бұрын

@abayomikelvin5153 I think he means, by asking the ref to look at the monitor, they are already implying that he's got his original decision wrong. So he feels obliged to change his decision, when perhaps he was correct in the first place.

@weeds56 4 ай бұрын

Or bring in a captains option to object the refs decision. Only one objection until the captains gets it wrong.

@unknown-yi3mw 4 ай бұрын

If that was the case the refs wouldn't never use it and haven't got eyes in the back of their heads either, so if they don't see something, they'll never call for it, will they? Greame is right it should be a player and there should be 2, with accountability. The average fan at home can see how ridiculous some of the decisions are so its baffling how clueless these refs and assistants are. If the former players are clueless and mess up then replace them. I'm sure there would be plenty who would be willing to do it. Maybe even open it up to voting from fans as the fans will see through the bias or clueless ones. You could only imagine how bad it would be if it was a Michael Owen or Gary Neville.

@MinisterManDan 4 ай бұрын

The problem with VAR is that it’s often just these refs protecting each other, I don’t know if it needs to be ex players but someone else needs to be in the room with them for accountability. A minor league gridiron league in America had instant replay decisions broadcast as they happen, that’d work too. They need a hard cap on how long to review, 30 seconds max. If you need to look at it longer than that, it’s not clear and obvious. They also need to limit VAR to hard yes or no situations instead of having judgment calls reviewed left and right. Offsides or no, did ball cross the line or no. If it’s a judgment call, it needs to be made by the on field ref and keep it moving.

It would be nice to see a avenue into getting new refs I wanted to become a ref cuz I couldn't play anymore and all I got was you have to go out buy all your own gear and then you have to get teams to have you as ref there should be some sort of organisations that should be in place to get proper refs in train and give them matches

Lack of stickers it's cuz 90% of team now play with one striker. Again meaning likes of Liverpools van dyle looks great playing against one striker and many are not of quality they once was. 20 years ago it was 442 so all clubs had 2 main strikers. Meaning defending was much tougher. Even I would look so much better playing against one striker then 2. Also there been generations on lack of left wing for England now we have many options. It's about the systems and natural talent and luck of players getting there chance too show quality. I personal think many clubs would do better playing old 442 as u can use that as attacking and defensive strategy.

@capio78 4 ай бұрын

I disagree with Graeme when he says a div 1 player doesn't see it different to a prem player, the prem players see everything faster and more clearly. That is why they're at that level. iv 1 players see it better than refs do though who would be Sunday league players.

Why not make VAR a review system in a similar way to cricket? Put the onus on the managers or captains? Goal-line decisions not part of it, nor offside reviews. Captains if they feel they have a genuine case to overturn a decision have 10 seconds to appeal. Get it wrong, lose a review, 2 maximum. This will stop the likes of Arteta blaming referees and puts his captain under scrutiny.

I don't agree that the ref should call for VAR, I believe VAR should be used to get the correct decision. I hate this rubbish it wasn't a "clear & obvious" rule, surely getting the decision right is what we all want. If VAR was used well I would be for it but as it is poorly used & you can not trust the integrity of the people sitting in the rooms (Mike Dean looking after his mate, what a joke) I'd prefer to get rid of it. This season we have had 2 of the worse decisions I have ever seen, Liverpool's goal disallowed against Spurs & Newcastle's goal given against Arsenal. Please get rid of it as it is ruining the game unless we can get people that know what their doing running it!

Simon, proud to have memorized players of the past for this dialogue, wanted to qualify himself as ..., rattled them off to equalize the conversation and Souness still took the question serious. All the names do not bring superstar out of them, competitors of different teams would have had no difficulty naming two of Liverpool though. Was the English league then the non-plus-ultra. No, not like today, other leagues had a say.

Graham, there is no such thing as a football person. Ex players do not know the game any better. Most are poorly educated, largely illiterate. None, ever become referees because it involves hard work. Much easier to be given a coaching qualification. A footballing head? What is that Graham? They are laws, not rules.

I cant believe simon actually just used the "mistakes happen" excuse for referees... yeah, mistakes happen, but most people dont get an unlimited amount of time and as many replays as they want from as many angles as they want in order to correct their mistake instantly. I feel like you have to be braindead to have all of that at your disposal and still make mistakes. If you cant get things right with unlimited replays then you're obviously just not qualified to be a referee at all. Graeme isnt any better. Says he would obviouslty get every decision right... sure graeme. And every current referee thinks they can too. What happens when you make the "correct" decision and everyone on social media says you're wrong? Then we end up right back where we are now.

Hear me out. I’d pay money to watch a tv series that follows referees like Paul Tierney around a breaks down what their week looks like as an epl referee. Would either be extremely interesting or strange and hilarious. Then on game day a micd up body cam gets chucked them for before during and after a match. Could be some interesting content in there… it might also humanise them somehow and maybe give the vast majority of let’s be honest idiotic and one eyed supporters a new more positive view on referees as a whole and therefore a bit of leeway when the make mistakes. Could be something in that 😂
