    I assume the Dermot quoted here is Dermot Morgan, the comic actor best known for playing Father Ted, and sadly also for being dead.

    Just finished my own 3 day media boycott, as well as the other general stuff wrong with the sport, it started when vesty was sent off as Fed up with appalling refereeing decisions/ poor laws of the game.

    Have I missed anything?

    Another quiet weekend?

    We have appealed the dreadful decision to send Vesty off.
    Really hope common sense prevails .

    Great defensive display, similar to Man City at home last season. Just playing the devils advocate here, but if we stopped faffing about with the ball outside our own penalty area, we would not open ourselves up to these ****ty VAR decisions.

    The only problem I have with that is the term 'common sense'. It's very difficult to find much in the realms of football management and especially the administration of the game.

    So - as I keep saying - when will the FA sanction useless officials such as Jon Moss for consistently making bad VAR decisions which can, ultimately, cost clubs millions of pounds?

    Will this overturning of an incorrect red card simply give Jon Moss a reason (in his own mind) to penalise Saints, the next time he officiates in one of our games? Paranoid? Moi?

    Not to mention the prize arse Rob Jones for brandishing a red card for a supposed offence which he couldn’t possibly have seen, and which he was led to brandishing by Vardy’s apparent near-death experience.

    Someone tell Karen Carney. She couldn't re-iterate enough that is was a straight red "all day long" for dangerous play.

    Tom will still come and back the decision the ref's made.

    Tom said at the time that if it was a foul, it was serious foul play, not the charge of denying a goal scoring opportunity, it was a wrong call however you look at it, the replays clearly showed that his recovery challenge got the ball back to Mac, the collision afterwards was just one of the perils of contact sport, not helped by the over reaction by Vardy.

    It was neither and var should have got it right. If the officials got things right the first time there would be no need to appeal. I was all for var thinking that it would make things more of a level playing field but they're just as incompetent as the men in the middle.

    The appeal was heard by an independent regulatory commission, not by yet another bunch of referees. Surely if VAR is to correct the mistakes of refs during games, it should be operated by this independent commission?
