Introduction of VAR Technology at Football Matches

VAR Technology

VAR Technology – what about it?

Video Assistant Referee Technology, or VAR Technology, is to be used during the FA Cup tie between Brighton and Crystal Palace on the 8th January 2018, but what is it and why is it needed? Like Rugby, football will know have a video assistant referee to make decisions on the ground a little simpler. Arsenal would have loved to have had VAR technology at their recent game against West Bromwich Albion, which ended a controversial 1-1. The referee made a poor decision to award West Bromwich Albion a penalty, because Calum Chambers had no time to react and move his arm out of the way. Incidents like this will go without a hitch, when a video referee can jump in and take a look at the footage for himself.

Crystal Palace will head to Brighton on Monday and roughly 70 miles away, a video assistant referee will be sitting in front of numerous television screens, monitoring the game and any problems that may crop up. This isn’t the only game that will have this technology, as it is being introduced for the following Caraboa Cup semi final matches;

Betfair UK Betting Options

  • ⇒ Man City v Bristol City on Tuesday 9th January 2018 at 19:45
  • ⇒ Chelsea v Arsenal on Wednesday 10th January 2018 at 20:00
  • ⇒ Bristol City v Man City on Tuesday 23rd January 2018 at 19:45
  • ⇒ Arsenal v Chelsea on Wednesday 24th January 2018 at 20:00

You won’t want to miss out on some great odds in the Caraboa Cup at Betfair Sports, check them out here.

This isn’t the first time that video assistant referee technology has been used, because it was also used for England’s friendly against Germany and Brazil in November 2017, but it wasn’t needed due to no controversial decisions being made.

What can it be used for?

VAR TechnologyWhen it comes to video assistant referees, the international Association Board says that VAR’s are only to be used, to correct clear errors and for missed serious incidents. There are four areas within a football match that can utilize this technology; penalties, goals, mistaken identity and sendings-off.

So, when it comes to a mistake or an error, the referee himself can go to the video assistant referee and ask for guidance, but the video assistant referee can also inform the referee on the ground that he has made a mistake and he can correct his errors and continue as normal. There will be a television monitor on the side of the pitch that the ref can go to, so he can have a look at the footage himself just to be sure. There will be no big screens for viewers at home or the fans at the stadium to take a look at –  they must rely on the decisions of the video assistant referee to be honest.

For or against?

In our opinion, the accuracy of any football match is vital, so having a video assistant referee is great, but there are some that say that incorrect calls are part and parcel of the game. But, during the West Bromwich Albion and Arsenal clash, a punter lost out on almost  £25,000 in cash, after his bet fell when the referee awarded a silly penalty to the Baggies – I’m sure this punter wasn’t too happy with the ref and would’ve welcomed VAR technology decisions.

Teams across the Premier League will be counting down the hours now, until they can buy, sell and loan players out once again. The transfer window is a difficult time to make big decisions, but the best players in this business will always find  a way to make themselves better and put in better performances. Transfer deadline day is a frantic and fascinating date in the football calendar, so let’s take a peek at what the rumors are, surrounding the teams in the Premier League.

Eric Bailly’s of Manchester United, suffered an injury which will see Manchester United sensation Johnny Evans returning from West Bromwich Albion.

Christian Benteke could be set for a move to Everton, as Sam Allardyce is plotting to snatch him in the January transfer window.

Tug of war!

Arsenal London will certainly be the Premier League team to watch this January, what with Mesut Ozil and Alexs Sanchez entering into the final months of their contracts. It seems the Gunners have a battle on their hands for Thomas Lemar, as Chelsea and Liverpool booth want to seal a deal on him too. but who will he prefer to play for?

Another Arsenal player that is looking to leave the team this transfer window is Jack Wilshere – and it seems like Newcastle are set to sign the midfielder, ahead of the competition West Ham United.

Psst…

It seems Jose Mourinho is after a 16-year old from Austria, having enquired about RB Salzburg teenager Ulrick Ella. Jose made the enquiry about the talented striker  on Sunday 17th December and are hoping to add the teen to their academy.

Liverpool are tirelessly searching for a new centre-back and have enquired about Lazio’s Stefan De Vrij. But, the team are searching for more talent to help them reach the top of the table this transfer window.

Jose Mourinho Ruffles Man City’s Feathers

Manchester United

Manchester United vs Manchester City Fury

It’s was the night before the derby and all through the house, nothing was stirring, actually yes it was – Jose Mourinho was! Tomorrow, Manchester United will take on rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford, a game that could see first place Man City, soar further away from second place Man Utd. As it stands, both teams have played 15 games, but Man City are ahead with 8 points – 43 to 35, so a win for Jose Mourinho’s men is vital.

 

Ruffling feathers

Jose MourinhoJose Mourinho has accused Manchester City players of diving in his latest outburst, claiming that “a little bit of wind and they fall”. Pep Guardiola, the City manager has been praised often by Jose, but this statement is bound to ruffle some feathers. “One thing that I don’t like a bit is, that they lose their balance very easily” Jose said.

Deja Vu: If you paid close attention to the game between Manchester United and Arsenal last week, where Arsenal lost 3-1, Jose echoed the same concerns; “I leave for you the Arsenal players on the grass. The grass is absolutely beautiful – I think there is a desire to go on to the grass.“

 

Statement

Man United are without Paul Pogba for this derby game, because he picked up a red card in the game against Arsenal. Mourhino remains tight-lipped on how he plans to approach the City game; “You all want to know how we are going to play, everyone connected with football professionally or as a fan is questioning: who is going to play? How are we going to try to play? I’m not going to tell.

LVbet Sports FootballEven the players do not know who is going to play. We are working on principles of play. I want every player to be connected with it and ready for it. With the problems we have with absences it is important that other players are ready to play or be on the bench and come on, and to have different roles than they are used to.

So the work is much more global than the 11 players who are going to start. The players who are fit? Zlatan Ibrahimovic is available, Phil Jones is available, Marouane Fellaini I have to wait (until today); Michael Carrick is not available, Eric Bailly is not available. Nemanja Matic is injured but he plays.”

Stats

Sunday will mark the 175th Manchester derby,  so which team has had the advantage over the other previously? We have done some digging and can tell youth in the previous 174 meetings, Man City have sealed 50 victories. Fifty two of those games were met with a draw and Manchester United bagged 72 wins – so this certainly puts Jose’s boys in favour of a win.

No other team in the Premier League, has scored more goals at old Trafford than Manchester City, scoring 27, but Chelsea have won more 6 more matches than City at Old Trafford.

Bet on the Manchester Derby

Check out he latest odds on the derby game at LVBet Sports, where you can claim a £100 welcome bonus to use with odds boosted by 50%. Bet in-play and enjoy live streaming of the most anticipated Premier League game this festive season.

Betway to consider media review in the UK

Betway Sportsbook

Betway is now forced to re-examine their UK media structure

Times are changing at Betway and in the UK gambling sector. Several UK Gambling Commission interference’s and law changes aside – many of which are causing a great deal if distress and changes to how UK bookies operate – some deals have ended, including the one between Betway and Starcom UK. As a result, the bookie are now forced to re-examine their UK media structure.

On the face of it, this initially sounds like pretty bad news. However, before players in the UK start to worry that Betway will be pulling out of the UK sports betting market, they need to understand the situation. This has little to do with the popular UK sportsbook’s actual ability to offer sports bets to UK fans, merely how they advertise themselves to the UK sports betting population.

The only thing that has effectively ended is the association with Starcom, a media planning agency which Betway used to promote its brand. Although there has been no official reason given for the termination of the partnership, we understand that Betway is already seeking out new marketing agencies to represent it with the help of AAR.

Will this impact sports bettors in the UK?

Not really. Whenever a new marketing agency takes the reins of a company, you can expect certain changes in the way that a UK sportsbook operates – but only in the sense of how it advertises itself. In fact, on many occasions, such a termination in partnership has turned out for the best. If Betway didn’t like the way they were being advertised and presented to UK consumers, there is every chance that a new marketing agency will be able to revitalize the sportsbook and come up with new ways to represent Betway, and lure UK bookie fans into placing bets there. Given that they have just signed a shirt sponsorship deal with West Ham United (worth millions of pounds), Betway isn’t leaving the UK shores at any point in the immediate future

Play with this famous bookie this winter

All new players who decide to open an account and play with Betway this winter are set to be treated to a rather handy special offer. New sportsbook players who deposit a minimum of £10 into their account can claim a free £100 bet, with odds of 1.75 or greater. This offer is available right now if you wish to make the famous bookie your home for UK sports betting. New Customers Only. 18+. T&Cs Apply
