General Football forum • Re: VAR and is there a way to fix it?
I think the opposite should happen: award far more penalties, crucially award them regardless of whether the striker stays on their feet or not. Why should a defender get away with pulling someone's shirt just because they don't fall over?Get rid of penalties, completely.
See if players would stay on their feet and try to put it into the net rather than focussing on falling over.
The skill of a difficult finish is more interesting than the skill of trying to engineer a believable falling over...followed by 5 minutes of analysis of TV footage and feigned injury to get a VAR call.
