Bumped into my wife in the hall (her and my daughter rule the sitting room TV) and she asked me the score. I couldn't tell her. Genuinely couldn't remember if France's goal had stood after the VAR shenanigans. If VAR is the future I reckon there's a possibility that football, specifically the format and timing of games, will change. Something along the lines of American football: 15 minute quarters, the ref stopping the clock at every VAR decision, and 1 hour of actual football taking place over a 2 hour+ period of real time. Now your wife just thinks you're perving... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy T Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) I do think it is bullshit that women refs need to ref women’a football. IMO the game is growing but it’s growth is reliant upon credibility in many areas. We all moan about our refs but they are infinitely better than what we have seen at the World Cup. If women’s football wants to be taken seriously it needs to be properly officiated. Edited June 24, 2019 by Jammy T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is that German one who refs in the mens Bundesliga who has only had 1 (or 2?) games so far. Makes you wonder if FIFA are deliberately using inexperienced refs so VAR has more influence on results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an utter nonsense. 90 minute games are now becoming 100+ minutes. Last night's game between France and Brazil with the extra time actually lasted 131 minutes. It's a nonsense. Correct decisions or not and correct decisions being made is debatable. In this women's world cup, VAR in my opinion is ruining it not enhancing it.

Ballitojambo Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 The whole timing is wrong ,in this case the ref awarded the penalty, the ball was placed and just before the actual kick, it was hold on there's a doubt, surely they can decide quicker than this or if if there's that much doubt just leave it to the on field decision, i see the reasoning behind VAR, but you got to wonder if its just turning football into more more of a tv drama, how long before adverts in VAR time, and of course have a bet on VAR outcomes.

Yes. And VAR people should have taken responsibility to say it was not possible to say either way by looking at the video again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroon Sailor Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 Beginning to doubt the whole ethics of this tournament. Looking back to the group stages they were keen to let people know what the viewing figures were. VAR has definitely sided with the higher fan based nations and so far we have Germany, Norway, England, France and USA. All going according to plan I see Canada, China and Japan making up the last 8 especially if VAR gets involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, looked more likely to be a penalty than the one that they got earlier, but once full time blown, then no review possible. Wonder if they need to alter the rule to allow for a review after end of game as no dead ball time to allow VAR team to operate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
