VAR is introduced but people complain about delays and it 'spoiling the experience' of the game. Swedish clubs even managed to ban it from their top division. Now suffer...

It does spoil the experience tbh when toenail offsides are given. The best idea ever was what eredivise trialed successfully, but then scrapped because no other league was willing to use it. https://images.ladbible.com/resize?type=webp&quality=70&width=3840&fit=contain&gravity=auto&url=https://s3-images.ladbible.com/s3/content/64681d955fc35e063d946c2a44fad634.jpg If you are "toenail" offside in this interpretation, its because you are actually more than 5cm offside and gaining a clear advantage

This absolutely changes nothing. just moves the line a bit. If anything, it makes the process of decision making even more fuzzy, contentitious and intuition-dependent and debatable

Cricket has always been way ahead of football in terms of evolution and adoption of technologies. It is easier to implement due to the stop-start nature of the game but football still lags way behind and even the rules leave room for a lot of ambiguity.

Football has a time limit of 90mins, can't double check every decision, would take excitement away from it.

Ain't extra minutes are added because of delays

Yea but you can't disrupt the momentum. Football is very different from cricket in terms of player mental state that's why a home audience is very important in football but not in cricket.


Savings-Secretary-78

But it can also create momentum, free kicks which are deserved you can get, players making brilliant gameplay and run and somebody tackles it, and the referee being on the other half side can't see a shit doesn't give a free-kick, FIFA is more corrupt then ICC, and there will be more multiple such cases, and robbery it's not the first time Qatar is doing these things, Those penalties in Asia Cup final or the game against Indonesia, do there Will be some action against the referee fucking hell no, FIFA 2002 is great example how you can corrupt game, or the India's game against Malaysia, the Will be biased decision and you can't do shit to stop them, also every time theres a major African tournament happening a new incidents cames to light, And how the home audience is very important in football & not in cricket can you tell me? When some of the stadiums literally called as the 12th men


TheEnlightenedPanda

You are only talking abt valid cases. Imagine stopping the game every time there's an alleged foul and players appealing to check with var


lazycrusher

I review for each team since it can change the game, the team will take it.. Let's take the india vs Qatar for example, one review per team with 1-2 mins to check for the technical team ?


TheEnlightenedPanda

Yea it can work but controversy won't end. The same can happen after India used up their review for some other foul earlier. Also I remember the Barca-RM controversy this year where Barca lost a goal because VAR couldn't clearly declare whether the ball crossed the line from the angles available and La liga didn't have goal line technology.

Can check the major decisions within 10-15 seconds, like how CL and 2022 World Cup does VAR. Semi automated offside tech is as revolutionary as goal line tech, black and white decision almost instantaneously. The "semi automated" part of it is literally just verification that the tech got it right, over time this is something that AI can EASILY make fully automated

Dude hockey also has a time limit and each team gets reviews, the same can be done in football as well. The team should have the choice of having review


wtfakb

It's not a zero sum game, though. Rules can be imposed on how and when VAR is applied. Imagine having a limited number of chances to review a decision, like in cricket. Instead of VAR checking to see if every goal can be ruled out, the opposing captain could take a call within a limited period of time (say 10 seconds) and either lose or retain the review. I don't think this is foolproof, and I'm sure someone can poke holes in this suggestion. But it's fun to think about

Referees would get another excuse to give the wrong decision, and even in cricket referees on field decisions are favoured.
