I really love the way they are quoted as saying that "they" ie the PL, ie the clubs, are "not prepared" to add on time for goal celebrations - isn't that something the PGMOL should be deciding?The Guardian story is similar so the press have been briefed… but it would be interesting to see the official announcement - it’s the timing part that confuses me - a crack down on time wasting but no added time for excessive goal celebrations? Really, how does that work?

As someone pointed out on another site, that's a far higher % of errors for VAR than a mere human one!
Slightly disingenuous but given us human refs are quoted at something like 95%+ accuracy for all decisions to get 12 out of 54 wrong - is that what they are saying? - is pretty poor - ducks for cover!
And correct decisions changed to incorrect decisions. . . .
That's why I said the net effect is more correct decisions.
Actually this article (From 2017) quotes the figure as 98%!
and a delay to get the incorrect decision and more dissent (not less as was promised) as we can all see players ask the referee if ANY penalty decision is going to be reviewed now and the fact that ARs are not flagging even the most obvious offsides immediately and.....but you get my drift!
Still got 12 out of 54 wrong which is very high with the aid of more time and more and better angles no?
That's if you believe the Referees are not leaving it to VAR, which would be absurd
I didn’t miss that. But correct decisions being reversed by VAR is more bad for the game then incorrect decisions being fixed. And, as the rest of my post addresses, that is an overly simplistic way of measuring the impact VAR has on the game.
No, you can’t just add the 6 to the numerator an denominator—those other 6 come from hundreds of plays that were checked.
This keeps coming up, and I'll keep giving the same response. They would be crazy to leave it to VAR as if they do, and their original decision is overturned after a review, they get a 7.9.
It does and we'll keep disagreeing on it forevermore. Scores of that nature clearly don't matter a jot at that level. Impossible to get sacked for one thing. I think you're naive and you think i'm plain wrong (based on your expectation of scoring & yesteryear). Anyway, we won't agree other wise we'd have already discussed middle ground
Of course their marks matter, if they didn't they wouldn't bother observing them. OK, demotion might be tricky due to the professional contracts, although it has happened, but they won't be getting plum appointments if they are regularly getting KMIs wrong and having to be bailed out by VAR.It does and we'll keep disagreeing on it forevermore.

Webb undoubtedly will improve things. How could he not? But with the exception of the MLS (where it's a cultural fit), VAR is pants everywhere else. I keep hearing how much better it is outside the EPL, but evidence to the contrary is all over social media all of the time. It wasn't great at the WC and you'd think they'd be setting the standard. Thankfully, the Ref in the final was bold enough to not fall back on it like most of the others
I'm not anti-VAR.... just to set that straight. I'm pro-football. VAR could add something to the game (cost/benefit), but not with the governance structure in place with our incarnation of FIFA and IFAB we have
This argument that the marks are of some high value falls apart on one axiom
I agree that refs are not deliberately leaving anything to VAR (at least not the good ones). But I do think the existence of VAR has a subconscious impact on decision making. But that is really hard to actually measure or document- or even to determine if it is a positive or negative Influence.
