Definitely.....but there's an awful lot of investment going into co-ordinated frothing wibble based propoganda, turning people into certifiable retards. Specifically in the direction of passionately believing the clearly untrue in regard to 'reform'.

Chicago: Naked but not afraid.

IFAB has approved expanding VAR to cover second yellows and corners.
-
But what if a first yellow is missed, then a clear yellow is given, do they go back and review the first one? Opening a can of worms here.
Just AI ref the whole thing. Just AI the football.
Fuck it, I'm buying a mountain and living my days out in isolation.
-
I don't think that necessarily means that the FA will do though (though personally I hope they do).
-
Exactly. Plus there is, say, twenty corners and goal kicks in a game - 30 seconds average to review each of them adds another 10 minutes. Which is definitely what we all want.
Just scrap VAR.
-
30 seconds for any sort of VAR review sounds optimistic. It's crazy, let the referees do their jobs. It's a game of kick a ball FFS.
-
I was trying to be generous and working on the basis that at least half would so obvious the review would be done before the kick was ready to be taken anyway.
-
Any sort of review....or re-refereeing, if you prefer, is contrary to the spirit and interests of football. It makes a mockery of 'play should be continuous'. I would definitely make changes to improve the state of play being continuous...not break it further.
As I have always said, VAR should be an official watching the video feeds, and communicating in real-time with the referee, to contribute to decision making and stop the referee looking a complete mug as a result of a TV angle. It should be equally applied over the course of the match, in every phase of play. Stopping the game for reaons should be avaioded wherever possible, and the laws and their interpretation should be framed with that objective in mind.
At least if the game is to be actually about football. Which is isn't.
In my view stopping the game to scrutinise a small range of incidents is a complete clusterfuck.
-
I don't see the corners review adding much if any time. It takes the players 30 seconds at least to get ready to take a corner so it'll be done during that time. Plus it'll surely be done using the same goal line tech as is used for goals which from experience we know is rapid.
-
The goal line tech is just there to say if the ball was over line. Not who touched it last. Completely different.
-
But apparently long throws are now basically as good if not better than corners so they should be checked too, and not just whether they were give to the correct team but was the throw taken from the same point on the pitch where the ball went out. Football should really be played in stop motion capture.
-
Most corners/goal kicks are clear cut though. I’m not saying any of it is a good idea, like, but it’s not as if every time the ball crosses the goal line there will need to be any VAR involvement. And hopefully the goal line tech can quickly clear up any where it’s only whether the ball crossed the line that’s unclear.
Still a no from me, obviously, because VAR is shit and should not be expanded.
-
At this point why don't we brand the whole thing to four quarters and ad breaks... Y'know for maximum moneymaking...
VAR MUST DIE! (although I have been saying thing about Putin for years too).....
Game's gone...
Chicago: Arbiter Of Taste.

Not any more, it's big business now not sport.
