I think tech should be limited to goal line and offside.

And players should only be offside if their feet are in an offside position, not a finger or a nose.

Maybe use their nose if they actually score with it or use it to control the ball.
Danny Ings' shirt sleeve may have been just beyond the defenders arse, but he didn't score with his arm and it's unlikely that he would do.
Seems unnecessary to include it, really. Not in the spirit of the game, for me.

The main problem is the quality of the officials, though. They're ****. Too many Northerners, too.
I'd approach the racial disparity, but I'm sure we all know what side of that argument you'd come down on.

- The people running VAR should be a completely different entity to those who officiate on the pitch.

If you’re not going to use referees then who? Ex pros?

I’ve heard Thommo, Le Tiss & Champagne Charlie haven’t got much on at the mo, they’d be perfect.

Perhaps ex pros, or young players who have been forced to retire through injury or not made it.

Anything is better than them being the same people as there's vested interests. Dean who was on VAR last night is the ref for our match at United on Tuesday which is mental.

Mount going full Harry Kane there to con honest hardworking Burnleh.

Celebrities, in the vague, reality TV sense.
"So, random bird from TOWIE, do you think that was offside?"
Probably wouldn't be much worse, sadly.

EDL will sort him out after the game.

I got so wound up with the Firmino handball against Spurs. To start with how far back are we going to go? Must have been 7 passes after the incident and then the ref ignores the foul and the handball from Diet (intentional) and hasn't got the brains to look at the whole incident and goes with the handball.

 

[FosseFilberto]

You're going round in circles though Fosse. Those decisions that VAR spends an age looking at again and again are that way because it's subjective.

Let's just agree that VAR is **** and move on mate

I'm happy enough watching you go round in circles tbf

Bust hands bean 7 passes after the incident and then the ref ignores the foul and the handball from Diet (intentional) and hadn't got the brains to look at the whole incident and goes with the handball.

Watch Luv blame his spastication on a spellcheck ....

Chill Fosse.

You don't have to get all defensive about it lol.

Rugby use it so much better ... there are reasons for that ... which start and end with 'intelligence'...

More to do with the huge differences between the two sports and the fact it’s watched by sex cases who don’t know the rules anyway and are too busy fisting each other and drinking real ale.

Yeah I can see referees being sound with being told they’d made a howler by some crocked CB from Scunthorpe.

‘I think you should view the monitor’

Views monitor

‘No i was right”

Guaranteed to work that like.

Stop editing my posts it's childish, we all know I would make such a mistake.

Rugby is stop/start game anyway.

Do you really want football ending up going that way ?
