VAR - What is it good for?

[Any Old Iron]

"Absolutely nothing. Say it again, yeah."

[Ron Eff]

"Whether you agree with the rule or not, VAR was unable to intervene, because as soon as the Bournemouth defender clears the initial header, it becomes a new phase of play and is deemed the handball didn’t directly lead to the goal. Had the first header gone in and not been cleared off the line, it would have been disallowed. Its a rare occasion VAR was correct not to intervene."

[Jim C]

"After the Chelsea game, we deserve every VAR decision that goes our way I know two wrongs don't make a right but fuck everyone else, West Ham is who I care about when it comes to football."

[Browno22]

That's a complete contradiction hermit

[ironsofcanada]

"Apparently the very capricious VAR gods think we should be in the Premier League more than Bournemouth That said remember who Callum Wilson played for when he pulled off his ""touch of magic."""

[Norman]

Hermit you don't understand the current rules then.

[Hermit Road]

It was good for 2 goals for us tonight. I thought the first should have been disallowed and the second was never a penalty. Result.

I thought Mitrovic was going to get booked for diving once the ref saw the replay.......

[Manuel]

"Douglas Luiz' red card overturned at Fulham. This is after the VAR bod looked at it, presumably a few times in slow motion, then recommended the ref to go to look at the screen, then inevitably the ref sends him off, so they both got it wrong, how?? You could even see that it was just chest to chest and Mitrovic went down like he was shot. This has become an utter farce now, is anything going to be changed or is this it now? The original decision not to send him off was correct, but VAR then steps in to completely get it wrong, and in turn doing the exact opposite of what it's meant to be doing."

"Have no complaints about the VAR yesterday. We had a couple go our way against Fulham, and couple against us yesterday. We still should’ve found a way to win, and we would’ve had we had a CF who could actually finish."

"Incredible really that VAR picks up Haaland's slight shirt pull, and yet misses Soucek being hauled to the ground."

[Sven Roeder]

I have no idea what the excuse could be for the bear hug then judo throw on SOUCEK not being a penalty. Goes again to show the problem isnt VAR but just dismal officials. Suspect the one given last week to DAWSON (which was completely correct) has seen our card marked.

[VirginiaHam]

"Ron Eff 8:48 Mon Oct 10 I think there should be a time limit too, but the concern is as the VAR runs out of time he has a guess at the decision. Given the cunts involved in VARring, you can see that happening 1st time out. BTW, wanker Mason took far too long to give the NF penalty. Easy decision too...."

[lowlife]

"Fully expecting some VAR related drama in our game tomorrow. We’ve got Peter Bankes reffing as well, not sure I’ve ever seen him have a good game."

[Far Cough]

"Oxsaw, Rugby League couldn't be more working class"

[Sven Roeder]

Most of the decisions with DRS in cricket (and ALL of them with Hawkeye in tennis) are line decisions equivalent of onside/offside decisions in football .... ie subject to how much you trust the technology a question of fact. Amusing that someone wouldnt know that rugby union & league are separate sports with a vastly different fan bases & players. The problem with VAR is that the planks using it are incompetent. I believe abysmal ex-refs Mike Dean & Lee Mason did the VAR on two of todays game.

[Ron Eff]

"Rugby Union, you might be able to argue the classes point, but Rugby League, primarily played in the north of England over here? No chance."

[On The Ball]

Complete and utter nonsense.

[Mike Oxsaw]

"Rugby (& cricket) are played, in the main, by public school educated toffs who simply won't question authority. Football is played by entitled oiks who will argue the toss over anything they can if they think they can get away with it. Therefore football VAR calls need to make themselves watertight wherever they can."

[El Scorchio]

"Say what you like about rugby league as a sport but not five minutes into the first game of the World Cup, their version of VAR puts football to shame. Yet another sport can get it right."

[Athletico Easthamico]

"Ex Ref , Dermot Gallagher, who always talks sense, said all 3 of our goals should have stood ?üëè."

"Moncurs Putting Iron 4:30 Mon Oct 10 Yep, and 50,000 odd in the ground yesterday agree. Good bit of crowd pressure. If that's what it takes...."
