    One step at a time, the sporting spirit of football is being eroded by the pursuit of financial gain.
    • VAR, introduced because managers in the money-means-everything Premier League era who lost lucrative games blamed poor refereeing. Result? Many brilliantly skilful goals chalked off because of forensic offside rulings that no linesman at the match would ever have made. Only great footballers can score brilliant goals. They are one of the purest joys of watching or playing football. But any talentless twit sitting in front of a TV screen can chalk a goal off. And of course the ridiculous 3 or 4 minute waits at games for VAR decisions on red cards, penalties or goals, while fans get p*ssed off and players stand around and risk picking up injuries because the pace of the game is being interrupted so much. 3-0 to the jobsworths.
    • Scrapping of re-plays in the FA Cup. Purely a surrender to Elite Clubs who moan about too many games, while happily flying their teams all around the World to take US or Middle East money for playing meaningless friendlies rather than give their players some rest.
    • Semi-Finals at Wembley. Nothing to do with anything except increasing income to pay off the bloated cost of building the place. Semi-Finals at big neutral grounds around the Country was always the best option for fans. Coventry v Man Utd could have been played somewhere in the Midlands or Yorkshire. Plenty of big football stadiums up there. And there was never a popular movement among football supporters to get semi-Finals played at Wembley. But no. Fans have to go to London instead.
    There are so many other examples, but no need to go on.

    The best good news would be to scrap VAR.
