VAR Yes or No?

[webmaster]

VAR was presented in European football in 2016 and now it is 8 years since then.

Please vote on what you think it has done for football and if you like it or not?

This is a multiple choice and public poll.

Please briefly explain why

Don't be shy guys. I think this is more important than football itself because soon we will not have anything left of it.

No
For all listed reasons



if VAR to remain wouldn’t mind it be used but only @ the discretion of the head referee..!
the ref should be the Only one to request a vid Re look into an event he’s not sure about & he & only him/her alone should be the one to watch it on sideline & make final judgement on it ..!
so far as I’m concerned the more folks that get involved the higher chance of favoritism..!

Get rid of it.

Limit it.

No matter the optics or rules or anything it will be used to make FIFA and other organizations money by favoring the bigger moneymaking result.

Ronaldo ELBOWED Ezatolahi in the face and the VAR rule was for a VIOLENT CONDUCT check. Its either a red card or nothing. The referee gave a yellow because he knew the consequences of Ronaldo getting red carded.

Goal line technology is the only thing that should be allowed or anything in the box. Otherwise let the game flow.

I think the main issue is transparency.
It needs to be clear what they're doing and how they're doing it. Too many mistakes (and worse) can still be hidden.
Human error is still a high probability.

^ before one man was to blame but nowadays a gang of refs do this together. This is a plot. You either see it or you will never do.

Some naive people voted, it will gradually get better..lol.. after 8 years it is only getting worse.. you cant see it?? u probably will never see it.

Refs made way more critical errors before and i think var helped reduce that a lot

Refs are human and will make mistakes regardless. Many of these calls are subjective decisions. Not perfect by any means

I highly recommend you guys take a class on the laws of the game, intro level referee course locally and see how it is. You can sign up online. Even if you don't ref it's a good experience to learn about the game more

Naked eye vs camera is one thing. The times the ball crosses the line and the GK pulls it out is a great use of VAR. One of the few.



The laws of the game are absolute and like I said before one instance where you see refs manipulating VAR to make a "financial" decision was when Ronaldo hit Ezatolahi.

According to the rules of VAR at that time, a red card review is to determine if there was a serious foul worthy of a red card(possibly 3 game suspension in some leagues). It was either nothing or a red card. The ref gave Ronaldo a yellow. So clearly there was a foul on the red card review which should equal RED.

There are too many instances where influence can be placed in the game on an account of VAR calls due to subjective interpretations. Instead of equalizing Big and "small teams "sway decisions" its being weaponized for maximum profit.



I will settle and say if VAR has to stay that ALL COMMUNICATION OF VAR OFFICIALS MUST BE AUDIBLE AND PUBLISHED after each game.

Remember the ref in the VAR room is also just another referee. They think that the referee on the field made a mistake. It's one person with an assistant VAR back there judging that. So they can make mistakes too and in some cases screw up and the on field referee has to agree with them or be put in the tough spot of sticking with their own on field decision.

Faghani's portugal uruguay game he gave portugal a pk that was not a pk. Qatari VAR ref recommended review and faghani have the penalty by mistake, and was also the mistake of the VAR ref

So mistakes do happen all around but there was no conspiracy for faghani to make portugal win that game. He got sent home after the round of 16 and uruguay lost in the group stages that of that

That is different interpretation of referees which should still be audible and available just like how its announced in other sports so they understand the decision.


The situation I'm describing is more than just a disagreement between officials. In the Iran-Portugal game, the onfield decision was "incidental contact, no foul" which the ref initially called, and then VAR did a red card review. That means either the decision on the field stands or its a red card. The referee took it upon himself to invent a new rule in football where he compromised on a yellow card so Ronaldo doesnt' get a red.


That is at best violating the rules and at worse match tampering.

Welcome back PFDC Fardins..lol.. on a mission again. ha ha ha

I have to say I am against it. Although, at times it has worked in our favor too. If I remember correctly the Wales goalkeeper in our game originally got a yellow but correctly changed to red card after VAR review.

I am fine with the game the way it was before VAR for reasons listed in the poll.
Technology in the hand of any corrupt entity, such as FIFA, only empowers them to be more corrupt.

[oracle]

no to var.
Yes on goal line technology.

[Karimi 8]

no to var.
Yes on goal line technology.

Agreed completely, VAR just opens the door for discrete corruption. Goal line technology is only positives and free from manipulation.

also VAR just ruins the flow of the game and takes from the joy of goals. It also made refs boarderline useless

Why only people who are against VAR are posting here?? Please indulge us 😄😉😎

We are sick and tired of it. And we are not afraid to express our opinion. So please come out of your shells.
