Re: VAR, For or against
No, totally against, even before last nights shambles
The moment spontaneous pure joy of a West Ham goal, quick check of the limo and go nuts will be taken away as we wait for half a dozen numpties to review and decide if it’s a goal. What will be the point of going to the match anymore

Against, poor decisions will still be made, players will be making the stupid box signal every decision in the penalty box and extra delays in the game are no good for the match attending fan.

Re: VAR, For or against
Even forgetting for the moment that it was against the Erics (I'm trying, honestly), that was the best use of VAR yet, and almost makes me think it's a good thing.

It's almost like emotional responses can overly influence and cloud our judgement innit? Maybe voting is a bit flawed :lol:Samba wrote:Strange, the votes for, have LEAPT up...

Re: VAR, For or against
Wait until we get to the Finals in the USA, where I am sure the format will be.....
"They've gone to VAR - we'll be back with the verdict after a few words from our Sponsors" conveniently every 15 minutes......

Re: VAR, For or against
Yes, once they have got the process smoothed out and can speed it up a bit.
Double yes if they use it after the game to punish divers etc.
