    The only other bit of tech I'd like to see used, was one that was being discussed the other day and that's for encroachment in the penalty area/determining whether a foul is committed inside or outside of the box.

    So basically the same as goal line tech, but used on the 18 yard line.

    It’s clear and obvious that VAR is an innovation from Hell. But we knew that.

    Southampton doing the best thing for their fans by leaving the league just in time to avoid it.

    Just leave the rule alone and let refs make the call, they will make mistakes and fans will rant and rage for a bit but that's part of my game.

    I'm still for VAR

    Swings n roundabouts...VAR can't educate humans it can only show you the incident again. The rest is up to the stupid humans.

    The sooner VAR stops defenders raping or using other sly methods on attackers the better. Harry Kane is in for a field day.

    VAR would have ruled out Harold Klaim's pen against us last weekend for being offside though.

    QPR resolutely refusing to get within 10 points of the playoffs, just in case it brings them closer to VAR.

    VAR would have ruled out half the diving antics of Robert Pires from 2000 onwards aswell..just the way it is

    I'll veto VAR if you can sort out the rolling around like a player has been shot or faking hamstring injuries to waste time etc.

    Not necessarily. There’s every chance that, after twiddling with his ear piece whilst surrounded by Arsenal players making TV gestures, he would have walked over to the side of the pitch to review the pictures, considered the issue from a hundred angles, guessed, got it wrong, pointed at the spot again, and left everyone wondering wtf was going on.

    First para, you seen the state of our officials? If we educated (trained) them better than we wouldn't need this nonsense.

    Second para, hope you're looking forward to watching a #noncontactsport soon bru.
