VAR

[Nick Nack]

Just read that the Turkish Football Federation has agreed to use foreign VAR officials in certain games due to bias decision making.

Bias is of course one step away from corrupt.

And if its happening there, then you can put your money on it happening across all the major leagues

I Bet Ivan Toney Would Be a Dead Cert for a VAR job once his playing career is over, if not Before !±

With all the money that is awash in football ( see the bbc report on money spent on agents as an obscene example https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68794902) there must be a very likely scenario that refs / assistant refs / VAR have been subject to bribery or blackmail.
Given the amount spent on gambling on football and the number of gambling organisations involved in sponsorship etc it’s madness.
Bringing in the automated offside decision might help, but in sports like boxing, horse racing, snooker, cricket, cycling - match fixing / drug taking / cheating on a large scale has eventually come to light.

It is present in football but not yet had its cover blown, other than FIFA etc being gifted money to decide where the World Cup goes .

Just wondering is VAR a shortened version of its full name "Varginas" ?

I've always held to the belief that money ruins sport eventually. Since the Big money came into football I've enjoyed it less and less over the years. Money has killed loyalty, tradition, things like the concept of the one club man, led to the rise of the pimped nothing little clubs like the chav$ and cheateh, brought about the parasitic vermin that are agents, turned players into mostly unlikeable gangsta looking twats in gold chains and thousand dollar tracksuits.... the list goes on.

Premier League clubs to vote on scrapping VAR:

It'll be interesting to see what with happens with this. It isn't working in its current model and needs scrapping completley for a season while they work on a version of it with clear guidelines and protocols that are broadcast for all spectators.

I'm afraid that it will be a case of trying to get the genie back in the bottle. Can you imagine the howls of outrage and fury when the ref/linesmen make a fuck up that the TV cameras analyse to the nth degree, with slow mo back and forward repeats from a million camera angles? They'll be demands for replayed games, sackings of officials ( hmmm, not so bad ) and probably law suits. All hell would break loose.
