Fans Against VAR - Join us

Give a team one appeal against any decision each half. They keep it if they’re correct. This would have the added bonus of stopping constant complaining to the ref - if you think he’s wrong appeal it. We all know players claim every throw is theirs, all contact is a foul, they’ll soon learn the ref is correct a lot more often than they are.

One of the youth world cups did this or something close to this I think.

I like the idea just because it would massively reduce the moaning. Pretty sure the likes of Kane, Fernandez and Henderson won’t like their role as lead referee being undermined though.

Went to see Ipswich play Leicester yesterday. Fabulous stadium. The utter joy of watching a game without VAR though.

I have always liked Portman Road. It's a very decent away day.

I've got a terrible record there, don't think I've even seen us draw.

I saw us win there the year we went up under Mick.

Wait, so when assessment is no longer directly under the control of the PGMO, performance is judged to have fallen? Shocked.

Refs were running at about 95% correct decisions in real time.

Typical that it's 'evening out' in a year where it doesn't matter.

Refs were running at about 95% correct decisions in real time.

Because they were counting (maybe still do) things like a shot being wellied 20 yards over the bar = goal kick = correct decision. Imagine all those added together (including throws) and there you are.

Yeah, well done. I can work out 20 + 25 = 45 but it doesn't get me a Maths A-Level.

I'm talking about % of decisions which isn't the same thing. Not many people on Earth get 95% of their decisions right. VAR was always going to be at best the same because people are still involved and surprisingly enough they're not perfect. The fact it's even worse than some bloke running around in real time with cunts like Roy Keane screaming in his face and 30,000 people calling him a wanker says it all. So we've ruined football for something shitter than we had before.
