Correct EDIT - Although it’s obviously not how long it takes to finish that I’m bothered about in its own right. It’s the length of time between ball going in the net and a final decision on whether it’s a goal that bothers me.
Rugby League seems to be able to manage it on a big screen, why can't football with all those extra millions
Someone earlier said that despite the screen it’s making the atmosphere at live rugby worse. It’s all designed to be good for people watching on telly. It makes it worse if you’re in the ground, but they couldn’t really give a **** about those of us that are.

It works in Tennis and Cricket because those sports have natural breaks which are slightly lengthened by the review process but where the tension and excitement are not compromised. In other words there is already dead time before a serve or a bowl; a review doesn't change the essential dynamic of the play. That's not the case in rugby or football where any review becomes an artificial stop in play, thus breaking the tension or excitement of the game. This was ****ing obvious when VAR was first muted; it's not changed. It just goes to show that the professional administrators of FIFA / Premier League etc know nowt about football.
they can. it would have enabled the referee to understand what had gone on rather than rely on snippets of conversation. it looks like they were following a rule that says you cant stop once the game has restarted the original cock up was saying "check complete" which seems to mean "no intervention by VAR" rather than "we've finished looking at what happened and there was no offside so the goal stands"
All someone has to state is the fact. E.g. state 'onside'. ****ing hell, how difficult can they make it.
Leicester 1-0 Preston after 60 mins. De Montfort Hall scored for Leic Not sure if that is good or bad news for us, other than Ipswich are no longer top and Preston haven't increased the gap over us. (if Leicester go on to win).
Tell that to Rover 'Steve Ganson is my friend at magic weekend' Tiger. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
They manage in cricket by either telling the umpire the on field decision was correct, or to change the on field decision, if they overrule him/her/them,
Newcastle have had 28% possession and are 3-1 up against PSG. Man City have had 72% possession and are drawing with Leipzig. Stats, eh? Don’t know the xGs or long and short pass completion rates. Perhaps they will paint a fuller picture.
