VAR powers to be extended?
.

The Times are reporting that football's lawmakers Ifab could discuss extending VAR powers to improve decision-making accuracy on free-kicks, second yellows, corners.

The report says a working group established by Fifa has been looking into whether video assistant referees should have greater responsibilities - but there are fears it could lead to even longer delays.



imo the VAR experiment has shown that it creates as many mistakes as simply leaving it to the ref to decide. There's been no improvement and no consistency added, just another layer of subjective decision making.

The only thing I would change is extending the goal line tech to include all of the touchlines, so that there's no debate about whether the ball is still in play... and I'd give Arsenal another point and dock newcastle 2 for the daylight robbery at St James park <whistle>

Whilst we're trying to correct errors that were allowed on technicalities I could only agree to the final part if Arsenal also agreed to having every match in which Thomas Rapey played/plays for you forfeited to the opponent.
 
That'll do. They bossed the first 10 mins but we've been the better team for the last 10. Would still bet on them winning but even a draw keeps us in the competition (we would then have to beat Milan at home and hope PSG don't win away at Dortmund to go through 2nd).

My money is on a 5-1 to PSG.
