    Well, Hawkeye works very well for tennis and rugby and cricket seem to be better, think the major problem is the people using the technology.

    Watched the West Ham game. Brewster cam on for the last 20 minutes or so when Urd were 1-0 down. He looked so frustrated up front on his own with no service at all. Bet he is regretting that move, I don't know if he had any other options.

    my immediate thought when he signed was that it will be a bad move as he just doesn't fit the way they play .

    since they changed the rule to say that the line is now the bottom of your sleeve, to stop people being offside by an armpit and to make it ‘clearer’

    I don't watch enough of those other sports to know how well it works so I can't offer a worthwhile argument in that respect.
    However, Hawkeye goal-line technology works fine in football and I have no issue with it - but it has a straightforward task to perform, without subjectivity, and it does so immediately. The decision making over offside is nowhere near as simple, and the VAR lines simply aren't accurate enough to make a judgement.
    As the tech stands atm, it isn't fit for purpose - regardless of which particular useless article is making the decision.

    Looks like a red for Arse and Pepe

    You're right. Those in charge of its implementation shouldn't expect such fine margins as an outcome though. It was introduced as 'clear and obvious' but seems hellbent on being used for nano-metre judgement calls based on the stitching around a player's sleeve to determine if they're onside or not. It's a fine system, it'll work providing they use it for what it's capable of being used for.

    Idiots running the show are so far not managing that.

    It seems to have changed from 'Clear and Obvious' to 'Lets check everything'

    Problem with that is that there are too many grey areas. And grey areas lead to controversy and difference in opinions.

    Whatever the objectives of VAR were at the outset, at the moment it seems to me that the technology is used for one main purpose. To help the on pitch referee and linesmen make a decision based on what he could/should have seen. So this weekend we had several penalty incidents. These were not decided by the technology. The referee was asked to look at the pictures again and it was up to him to make the decision. A subjective decision based on recorded stuff he’s seen. The element of subjectivity is not and will not removed as the same incident even reviewed would be given as a penalty by Ref A but not by Ref B.

    So glad Arsenal beat us to Pepe, we were heavily linked to him. Not only has he proved himself very average in the Prem, he is also a complete arse as demonstrated today with his sending off. Although the Leeds player did make the most of it!

    We've dodged a few bullets down recent years, Sanchez (could have been good), Xhaka (horrible) and some others I can't be bothered to list.

    Sanchez was fantastic when he joined arsenal, would have been perfect to replace suarez, it was only when he downed tools snd utd decided to pay him silly money he went to ****.

    Surprising really how many players down tools, get the move but never recover.

    I still think Werner is a good player, but I'm more than happy with Jota.

    This is why I said he could have been good. We'll never know - but I lose respect for players who down tools, unless it's under the most exceptional circumstances. Just because things aren't exactly to their liking is no excuse, imo.

    You really have to wonder what the thought process is at the moment with Citeh. 8 games played and 12 points on the board and sitting in
    the bottom half. Chelsea and Spurs going well.
    I still fancy Citeh to compete for a top 3(?) spot but there must be concerns at the Etihad, they have some easier (on paper) league fixtures coming up
    but away games at MU, Sot'on and Everton on the horizon.

    I was being tongue-in-cheek to a certain extent with City, but they do have a bit of a task ahead.
    Chavs look fit to go the distance, with Spurs it depends on how soon José starts to piss off his players and they stop working for him.
    Arsenal have lost 4 games already - they have a mountain to climb.
