Would you have VAR in the championship

[Jedi boro]

I’ve said it before on here but personally I’d have VAR in tomorrow as we as a club would benefit massively from it.

Look at yesterday the ref apologised look at THE steffen foul/push the other week both ruled out through VAR.

There’s 2 wins possibly right there for us.

 

[Zoophonic]

Yes. 100%

 

[Diego]

Absolutely. The standard of refereeing is a shambles

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

No chance.

Think it`ll filter down to the Championship eventually but nah think I`d leave as it is for now. Take the rough with the smooth

 

[breakthewallsdown]

We'd have also conceded a penalty at the weekend - Evens itself out

 

[Diego]

No chance.

Why?

 

[Jedi boro]

No chance.

But we as a club are losing out to shocking decisions so if Var could correct them you wouldn’t be keen. As I don’t think there’s ab argument that Middlesbrough football club as a whole would fare better under it.

And what about our not given pens ????

Even itself out is the biggest myth in football

Yes, 100%. It is needed even more in the championship because the officials are rubbish. Far too many big decisions are called wrong.

I don't care whether we get more advantage than disadvantage. I'd just like to stop seeing game-changing decisions called incorrectly in every single game.

 

[Soutra]

Sheff Utd claimed they should have been awarded a penalty.

It's just swings and roundabouts.

This.

Yup, bring it on, every day of the week. It gets a lot more right than it gets wrong, gets rid of most howlers, and is great at showing the refs up when they **** up, which will hopefully give them a reason to get better.

I would rather come the correct decision in each game. It’s not swings and roundabouts

 

[weemoby]

No!

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

Why?

Because people are looking for perfection where it isn’t possible for it to exist. They have VAR in the Premier League I think? Though you’d never guess if you listened to the debate after the Chelsea - Spurs game as apparently both Spurs’ goals should’ve been ruled out. So what’s the point of VAR.

Crack on with the game and stop moaning.

Yeah, this is it for me too.

I'm not even fussed if we gain from it, I'd rather it was just fairer.

No people are looking to remove incompetent and bias where it clearly does exist.

Ref apologies at half time says it all.

No we are looking for as many correct decisions as possible and the chance to rectify mistakes. VAR allows this

Where’s the bias?

And incompetence is everywhere, including in the VAR studios. You can’t have a ‘perfect’ game of football. It doesn’t exist.
