First VAR of the season goes their way, Verona defender was being held down by the shoulders. But rubeeentuuusssagljkbgaq8igbqtehrg

Maybe the var system will be further improved, but as it stands now, it is extremely abusable.
It can nitpicking ghosts pks like the one indicated against and ignore other, more obvious one, that could alternate the end result, exactly like a common paid ref "mistake" and then the assistant ref will simply claim that he can't follow all the cams at the same times and he just missed everything that went in June's way and only noticed what went against Juve, with us seeking moral Justice in the post matches shows, but officially losing the game points...
And after a series of incidents that happened to go against us, if we protest, we will be potrayed as the bad corrupted guys, who oppose justice...
If such contacts like the mild kick from behind Sandro delivered result in penalties, we will have multiple penalties per derby awarded.
Hopefully, given time, the assistant refs and the entire system will be optimized...

never change, Cron

It's not about me changing, it's about the facts making me change.
They got a Cavani and funded a Higuain with incredible handicaps, like limited fanbase, budget and salary caps, while we were failing miserable since the Trezequet days to get such a finusher and we had the money, cash and CL glory to help out cause. We only got Higuain from them after having enough of him and making it the transfer of the century in Italy.
Should the situation change in our favor and our mngmt behaves with the same efficiency I will gladly applaud them as I did last year!

There is no one else overpaying in Italy like we do and gifting away players like we day.
Noone else is pawned the hard at loaning super talents with the right to buy for penauts and no buy back clauses. They are far more efficient, considering their limitations.

I don't really like Napoli as a club but I gotta say they are handling themselves quite great since they joined Serie A. Their squad is pretty damn good and their style is also suited for Europe. They might not spend that much but their transfers are (almost) always very smart & planned out well.

I'm pretty sure they'd do great in CL if they had more depth.

Hasn't that been a problem for Italian teams for many years now? That also goes for teams playing in the EL. Always thought the start 11 looked pretty strong for most teams, but bench players and reserves sucked. German and English teams had a good enough economy to strenghten their depth.

But is this how the system is being used? Serious question. I thought maybe a fifth ref is judging and then calls the ref, if their is something to be rejudged.

That's how it works, there is a fifth referee watching replays and if he sees something worth calling the head referee for he will do it. In the Dybala goal case it was obvious that he looked at replays from different angles and saw that the goal was correct.

Also, the main referee can ask the VAR for assistance if he is not sure about a decision he made or he needs to make.

From what I understood reading about VAR in FIFA's site, the VAR can intervene only about goals, penalties, red cards and mistaken identity (if the ref books the wrong player). The VAR can't call the ref about wrongly given throw ins, corner kicks, fouls etc.

so in other words, we can still find ways to cheat

Well, there's always mafia. So yes.

Napoli, Roma, Inter and Milan are stronger financially than all German teams bar Dortmund and Bayern.

The important question is, did Spinazzola start for Atalanta?

Hopefully Fiorentina can still beat Inter even if they're relegation material
