VIDEO
ASSISTANT REFEREE
We all know how popular and beneficial
football is.Every day thousands of people sit in
front of TV watching a match, the others watch it alive at the stadium. It happens more than once that we
support our team, which we consider should be
better, but it doesn’t
win because of the mistakes of the referees. This is where the VAR( Video Assistant Referee) system comes in handy
What is VAR
?
The video
assistant referee (VAR) is a football assistant referee which reviews the decisions
made by the head referee with the use of video footage and a headset for
communication. This is very helpful in some cases, such as :
·
Verification
whether a goal has been scored correctly,
·
Verification
if an appliance has been properly on offside
·
Verification
if a player has been fouled in the
penalty box,
·
Verification
whether a player has been brutally fouled
How does VAR work ?
When there
are 3 or 5 referees on the field (depending on the league), there is a group of
people behind the field in the room full of monitors . They are watching the match, and they are
checking the events on the field. The
communication between the main referee and the helping group works in both directions. The main referee of the match can ask
for help if he does not know exactly what decision he will make. It is also
possible to communicate when the assistant group sees a clear
error and informs the referee.
Where does
VAR work ?
The VAR
football system is slowly being introduced while in volleyball it has been in
use for years. The system is only used in some leagues, e. g. Polish, German. However, this system is still not used in the Champions League, where this season
(2017 / 2018), the referees made a lot of mistakes, which cost some teams to
fall out of the Champions League. Luckily, the VAR will be at this annual World
Championship in Russia.
Is this the
only system in football ?
For several
years now, football has had a different system
to help the football referees. It is a Goal-line technology that detects
whether a ball has crossed the goal line. When the ball crosses the goal line,
a message appears on the referee's clock. The system is very helpful and works
very effectively. The initiative for this system came after the World Cup in
South Africa when a player from England scored the correct goal, but it was not
recognized .
Do you
watch football matches?
Do you think that this system should be introduced?
Do
you have any other ideas to help the referees?

In my opinion, this system should be introduced in every possible league. The result of the match should not be based on judge`s mistakes.
I don't have any other idea how to help the referees in their job.
The idea of VAR sounds really good, I think that if it were introduced, it could eliminate many disputes and make people feel that the game is more fair.
Maybe introducing more referees would make the job easier for them.
I think that this and some other systems should be introduced, to make the players unable to influence the results. Maybe then it would become a little bit more interesting.
My idea is to introduce penalties for acting in a fake manner as well as to introduce more IT-based systems to detect such behaviors.
I think, this system should be introduced in every league it's definitly will be better for all, even introducing this system would make the job easier for referee and of course The result of the match should not be based on the some mistakes.
I think this system should be implemented in every sport, of course, the result of the match should not be based on the judge's mistakes. Being a judge is very difficult, but we must always remember that he is only human and can make a mistake. This system can be an excellent solution and reduce the number of disputes and quarrels.
No I don't.
Do you think that this system should be introduced?
Why not, machines work better than people.
Do you have any other ideas to help the referees?
No, I don't, because I don't like football at all.
The system already works in some football leagues. I know in the Champions League that isn't there, but supposed to be. I think this is a cool technology, but you also have to use it correctly so that you don't interrupt the game at any time.
I don't have. Judges make mistakes and it will be so. This is part of the game.
This kind of systems should be introduced in order to allow the right decisions to be made by referees and umpires and prevent the from distorting the results
I think that we should start with referee having an option to watch a replay based on a situation. Ive seen that happen in competitive fencing to a great extend and it was really useful.
No, I don't like football.
2) Do you think that this system should be introduced?
I have heard about this system few years ago also I have heard about system when in ball inserted chip that allow to detect when ball cross the gates in football and I think that this technology is very interesting.
3) Do you have any other ideas to help the referees?
No because I do not specialized in football.
I am not a huge soccer fan, but since the World Cup is coming soon, I will definitely watch the Poland matches, and probably some of the others too :) I think it is a nice way to spend a night out, drinking a beer with friends.
Do you think that this system should be introduced?
Yes, of course. Actually, I never understood why it wasn't introduced earlier, as I know that the technology is not new. All I've heard is that it interfered with the classical game spirit, where it was up to referee to decide on the field.
Do you have any other ideas to help the referees?
I think VAR would be enough, since they would be able to watch the same thing as viewers in front of the screen, and it is often enough to judge in the contentious issue.
I don't like soccer at all. I prefer other sports or American football.
Do you think that this system should be introduced?
Although I don't watch it I think it is useful system.
Do you have any other ideas to help the referees?
No. I don't even know all rules of the soccer and it's the topic I don't considered anytime before.
To my mind it could be introduced but there is no guarantee that this system will be deployed. There is no reason not to show this to the people. It’s kind of a brand new invention that could make life a little bit easier.
No, I don’t. It’s hard for me to come up with any idea especially if I am not interested it this topic.
I think there are a lot of technologies that are able to make a game fully fair, but we have to find the golden mean between sport and technology to keep the sport spectacular
Sometimes yes. For example when there is a big tournament or something like that. I am not a big fan of a football.
Do you think that this system should be introduced?
Yes. It is weird that it's still not introduced. It will help to follow the rules of this sport.
Do you have any other ideas to help the referees?
Sadly no. I don't know what they expect.
I think this system will resolve many conflicts and referees mistakes would become rarity.
As I said, I'm not really into football so I can't find any sensible ideas to help the referees
2. Do you think that this system should be introduced?
Yes, it should be introduced because I think that now a lot of football players cheated during matches what it is a pathetic.
3. As I already said, I am not a big fan of football and I am not a specialist so it is hard for me to give better proposition than a VAR system.
I am very surprised that this system is not introduced yet. In my opinion technology is very developed now and it would be easy to introduce dome kind of system that would help referees judging outstanding situations.
I think that VAR system is enough and don't have any others ideas to improve referees work at the moment.
I don't have any other ideas on how to help the referees.
It's been said that every bettor needs to look at this,
