    Does anyone know if there are plans for it next season? If not, why not. I think I recall reading something before that not all championship grounds could accommodate it, which is BS. If Luton can get it into their ground now they’re in the PL, then so can every current Championship club, as every ground is better than Luton’s.

    I imagine it’s a cost thing as well. I’ve heard it’s due in next year, but not sure where from, maybe I’m just dreaming it.

    We already have it at AG.
    We just aren’t allowed to use it for football yet!!!

    I hope it doesn’t ever come to the Championship and is scrapped by the Prem.

    It wastes loads of time and even after being reviewed multiple times over the final decision is still sometimes wrong

    Referees have always made mistakes but I’d rather they continued doing so without VAR

    If they used it properly it could be useful, but they don’t.

    That’s interesting, do they use it for the buggery ?

    The best thing about TMO, is you get to hear the conversation between ref and TMO analyst

    That would be tough in football, I don’t think many football refs could string a coherent sentence together, if their decision making is anything to go by <laugh><laugh>
