    So, the upshot for VAR seems to be...

    A) It's great if it goes in your favour.

    B) It's a load of knob-cheese if it doesn't.

    Well done for completely missing the point.
    Technology is great if it works, clearly in its current form VAR doesn’t. Whether you slow down or speed up the contentious decision, it ultimately hinges on a subjective decision.

    The main problem with that pic, as alluded to in the article, is that it doesn’t show when the ball was played. If that’s taken a split second after it probably means Kane was onside when the ball was actually played.

    Well done for having a humour bypass ...

    ... and evolution is not confined to technology, it includes rule changes ...

    VAR is still technology in relative infancy ... just as videos paved the way to blu-ray and even streaming ... technology almost always improves over time .... some will embrace change ... some will bleat ...

    Nope it's still **** when in your favour to.

    I'd rather watch a family member get sodomised by Arry than attend a football match with var.

    Did you say something humorous then. Can’t say I noticed, but then I typically skim over your posts, as I find a 60 year old continually making sexual innuendoes slightly disturbing.
    As for technology, I’ve witnessed good and bad over my career as an Electrical/ Electronic engineer. Unless you can remove the subjective element it will never improve.

    He’s about 2 steps from the Looney house mate, he’s a complete nervous wreck. Flapping everywhere. He spent almost £500 on balloons and Carling last night and invited half the village round to celebrate United’s defeat to PSG.
