    We are doing our best against all odds to distance ourselves from the possibility of it being implemented in the second division.

    No I'm not up for a non contact sport...I'm up for cheating defenders getting murked. Defenders more than any other player on the pitch.

    Plus if you have given up on educating refs and have embraced their limited application..then we are ****ed...they are too incompetent

    Spoilsport.


    Juergen Klinsman btw. Would his diving technique have survived today’s technology?

    VAR still comes down to referees. There are very few cut and dried decisions, in football as in life. In fact in many cases, the more you consider something, from the greater number of angles, the more confusing it becomes.

    Nah you're right stick to underhanded tactics by defenders and moaning about it...gives the game credibility.

    I'm all for total control taken away from 1 man...especially when that one man has no comebacks ever and seems incompetent to apply basic logic and common sense

    Introduce referee interviews after the game and I'll scrap VAR....can't ask for a fairer than that

    Also if refs end up going to review they're looking for something to change their mind rather than as a fresh incident.

    I say scrap offsides for free kicks into the box and any kind of handball in the box is a pen...make it simpler and remove the responsibility away from stupid human rationale.

    Non of these ideas are going to affect the fair n square physicality of the game

    That's true that...once again it shows that human nature is at fault not VAR

    Offside should just be offside again, if you're in the box then you're interfering with play in my book.
