VAR

Needed. Urgently.

No.

 

[JJ_PNE]

Not a pen i believe(not seen replay), but Rudd shouldnt dive in like that didnt need too and gave the ref a decision to make

 

[paddysr]

Not based on the way it is currently being used in the EPL. Get it right first and then yes.

There was no decision to make.

Nonsense, player tricked the ref.

 

[Many Clouds]

Better refereeing. Needed urgently.

 

[PNEJack]

Fuck VAR

It’s not the referee’s fault tonight. The way the ball went in behind meant it was almost impossible for him to get into a good position, and from behind the incident where he was it did look like a blatant pen.

It’s a dive though and with a bit of help the officials can then overturn such decisions.

But for some reason, many people think it’s impure to have a decision checked. I’d rather be coming away with a point than 0 points after a dive for the sake of purity.

 

[Burnley1882]

That decision was an absolute joke and you were robbed of a point - trust me though, you do not want VAR.

 

[BPIG]

Gutted tonight but still absolutely hate VAR, get it fucked off.

He didn’t dive in, here came to challenge them pulled out, clearly pulled his arms away. Referee wanted to give that

 

[Schofe]

I thought the ref was poor tonight, gave them a free kick anytime they went to ground. The pen wasn’t even the first dive he awarded as a foul. The free kick against DJ early first half was laughable.
VAR isn’t a bad thing its the way its used and implemented, tonight would have shown the good side of it. The offsides are a joke and a rule change needs bringing in such as daylight

I disagree. Surely that’s why they are paid, to put themselves in the best position to make the right decision? The ball is played into the channel and the referee and assistants should then position themselves relative to the back to be able to see what’s happening. Otherwise any of us could do it

Of course it’s their job but it’s hard to get it right every single time.

The only way he could’ve seen it’s a dive is if he was literally as fast as the player and managed to be right next to the incident. The assistant was on the other side of the Rudd and therefore can’t see a dive. It’s very easy for us to make judgements after watching several replays.

Unfortunately he was conned, and the amount of players trying to con refs nowadays makes their jobs even harder.

One look at a replay and he could’ve overturned the decision but people don’t want it in the game for some reason, they don’t want officials to have that help available.

 

[Elwiss]

Cheating footballer and incompetent referee - rid the game if both.

I agree with this, from the referees position probably looked a penalty but he has been conned. There should be a ban for cheats after the match 1,2,3 match ban it wouldn't have changed the decision tonight but might make cheats think twice about doi g it again.

 

[JK]

Blatant dive.

Cheat.

I disagree. That is the officials job to get in the right position to make a judgement. That’s what their training is about

But it is impossible for that to happen every single time, when players are trying to con them.

I just find the constant criticism of referees alongside the idea that we shouldn’t help them more with technology that is readily available totally daft.
