You are 100% spot on with pretty much everything in this video. Anyone who watches the EPL enough knows this. Especially when you said that it seems sometimes VAR is way too eager to get themselves involved. Its maddening
Watching the PL and the Champions League, the difference between refereeing in both competitions is utterly shocking... to the point where its made me almost not even want to watch the PL anymore
VAR should be "on demand" only, an occasional tool for the ref when he's unsure about a decision, but it shouldn't be an "additional referee" making it's own decisions and intervening by overruling the ref on the pitch.. Football is a game played by humans, it shouldn't be ruled by computers, cameras, machines..
The standard of refereeing is awful, and VAR is even worse . And don't even start on the offsides.. Why not use the semi automated ones that work elsewhere!!
Mike Dean was on var and decided not to award a pen to Chelsea (vs. tottenham) when a spurs player pulled Cucuarella's hair in the pen box to 'help his mate' the ref on the pitch out
I watched almost the whole African Cup of Nations last time. Referees were EXCELLENT! Almost no mistakes, VAR was quick and correct. I was a neutral spectator enjoying the whole tournament. Then I started watching EPL, and immediately refereeing standard was down the drain, like night and day, irreal! Hire the Afcon referees, they are solid! Edit: Collina, for some reason, loathed Finland when being a ref in their games.
Regardless of what you say about officials, it would be nice if you could use a different title for this forum. Use modern language, which does not include using 'dark side', or using 'a black day', these type of phrases are totally out of date.

The lack of clear rules makes so the referee can do whatever they want. And VAR is usually not competent enough.
Who owns PGMOL and Man City? that's alone should answer all our questions.

If VAR cannot decide within 90 seconds, go with the on-field decision.
Howard Webb being involved in referee bias investigations is the peak of irony. Mr Howard BentOverForFerguson Webb.

😂 commentators and refs have a secret love affair
Im predicting something controversial happening in todays game again.
Watch a few laliga games and premier league refereeing will seem godly compared to it😐
