VAR in use in SOME Championship games?

[BigPaul]

WTF???
How is that allowed??
Our goal from Leonard/Cooper was disallowed by VAR, apparently

I pressume cause it's being televised? Can't think how they'd select the games to be Var'd up otherwise.

But our match was not televised today, was it?

Of course it wasn't. Fucks sakes

My don't tell him Pike moment, Paul

It is especially ironic, as it was you that told me yesterday! They say the memory is the first thing to go. Take care, mate. I know you were up late though. Use that as your excuse.

There is a serious question to ask here. We can't have a situation where some matches have VAR and some don't. That is the worst of all possible worlds.

I dont believe for one second that was decided by VAR.

So who did decide it then?
The ref gave a goal and I got an alert on my phone to confirm that.

Fourth official?

That lost us 2 points
What a fkn shot

 

[Romney Lion]

Apparently Lennie's volley hit Coops on the way in and Coops was offside. I'm guessing it was a busy lino.

I know, but if that goal had been given against us, I would have felt very hard done by.

I don't think the lino even saw that Cooper had touched it.
No, there was something very fishy about it. The goal was disallowed too long after it was scored, plus, I got a message on my phone to say that the goal had been disallowed by VAR. Having previously received a message to say a goal had been scored.
Very, very strange.

Also, if the lino gives offside, you usually see them standing there with their flag out. Not so in this case.

Think it was the bloke with glasses and the red t-shirt.

VAR should be scrapped. I hope if we ever go up someone will have the decency to set fire to it.

Another fuck up just now in favour of Manchester City.
Similarities with our "goal" too.
The player in Cooper's position just avoided touching the ball, but clearly distracted the goalkeeper, in my view.

 

[Nottswall]

If Cooper never celebrated saying it was his goal, it would have gone unnoticed.

Very good point.

You're correct.

EFL has announced that VAR will be used during the EFL play-offs but only at Wembley Stadium

It’s not, but I’ve seen fourth officials look at monitors before and signal it through to the ref. Not strictly VAR and not strictly allowed but it happens (& as you know, every game is on TV somewhere)
