Franchise FC Anyone know why some games in the FA Cup 3rd round have VAR and some don’t ?

Correct decision, just can’t get my head round different rules in the same competition. Just seems odd

Yeh agreed, should be all or nothing. Same with League Cup. VAR didn't come in until semi final!

Oddly, I was ok with it being ALL games in the same round
Needle Good decision to keep the Arsenal lad on
URZZZZNeedle Good decision to keep the Arsenal lad on
I’m not sure
I think I’d edge towards it warranting a yellow but could see perhaps why a red was given
What I’m not sure I agree with is whether the red was a “clear and obvious” error and henceforth not sure if the original decision should have been overturned

It would be nice if we had some communication between VAR & the ref
VAR: 'did you see that the defender made contact with the striker?'
REF: 'yes, but I don't think it was enough'
VAR: 'OK, cheers!'
or
VAR: 'did you see that the defender made contact with the striker?'
REF: 'no!'
VAR: 'you may wish to review on-screen'

Apart from the obvious issue that it may highlight some inadequacies, I cannot see why ref's aren't miked up as they are in other sports.
It would give the spectators a much better idea as to the thought process.
But then controversy is seen as a means of keeping the product high on the agenda. If fans are arguing about the game they're still watching - or am I being way too cynical

Broadcasters won't let them be miked up because games aren't after the watershed.
You've only got to watch games to see the dogs abuse officials get from the players, even if you're no good at lip reading.
The only way to stop it is to enforce respect with cards. But the officials have been pussies about it for decades, so I don't see it changing any time soon. And it would result in about two months of most games being abandoned due to the number of sendings off.
Might work with an orange 5/10 minute sin bin card for disrespect I suppose.

Said this to Mrs S the other day during the Fulham v Southampton game - Che Adams could be seen quite clearly to have told the referee directly to 'fcuk off' twice in about three minutes. Start booking players for this and dissent would disappear pretty quickly.

Couldn't agree more.
BTW did Mrs S feign interest and then express her views on the offside rule and whether the pass-back rule has quickened the game up?

Slightly off tangent, but I’m surprised they haven’t imposed some sort of “orange” card through the game yet - rugby alike
Reckon it’d really help out in certain situations as I really do believe that some offences are “too weak for a red, but too strong for a yellow”
Not sure what the sort of infringements are in rugby that warrants the sin bin but I’ve always thought it could be utilised in football

Sutekh Also the impression I have generally is that the supporters of rugby clubs aren’t as partisan as fans of football so rugby players don’t necessarily get as wound up as their counterparts.

Mrs S is a bigger football fan than I am! Worked at RFC for ten years, and for Fulham since where she's in senior management. Also has a peculiarly good eye for close decisions - where I'm leaping around screaming 'penalty!' at everything, she's remarkably accurate at spotting the dives and soft ones.
