Premier League

Go away with these rubbish posts.

Day in day out.

Children run this sub

I would say absolutely. I have watched about half of all the games this season, and good god is it hard to sit there and wait for calls. It feels like the NFL at times

It will turn into the KFC sponsored VAR and the epl will be a big hit with the US audiences

No. But harassing teams that spend money and play attractive football will.

No.

No. Controversy creates headlines, clicks and interaction - which now makes money. So perfecting the process is the least likely thing to happen, because when it fails, it’s another way to generate money.

I think VAR is great for business. Everyone has a passionate opinion. It dominates water cooler discussions and, while frustrating, adds more drama to the league than ever before. I doubt the EPL would lose significant viewership because of it and will likely gain more viewers since everyone is talking about it.

There needs to be a pundits licence, likes the way there is a coaches licence.

Most of them do not actually understand the laws of the game or the guidelines given to the refs to administer during games. Pundits will see a decision that they don't like and say its wrong. When the referee actually did the correct thing, as per guidelines. This undermines everything that they are doing and deflects from the fact that the laws are inadequate and referee's have too many guidelines to adhere to. But that's the problem when you have people complaining about consistency.

You cannot have consistency and common sense. When one man's handball/foul, is another man's "play on'.

Nope. VAR is inconsequential. League viewership is more influenced by Manchester City turning it into the Bundesliga.

As long as star players move to our league and the competitiveness is still there, VAR won’t cost the league popularity. We’ve just seen recently a rubbish decision in the UCL with Newcastle wrongfully being punished for a handball when it wasn’t.

It’s not going to do shit…. PL popularity is as tribal as it can get. Nobody cares about overall controversy; they only care about their team winning.

VAR needs fucking off

You couldn't scrap VAR at this point. It's just too necessary - with instant TV replays... can you imagine the outrage over a huge missed call...

well, I guess we can still can with VAR, but you get the idea

it just needs to be fixed
