    The theory of VAR is a good one.,The problem is how it’s applied. Personally don’t think I’ll ever buy a ST again if it comes in as it spoils the spontaneity. If a goal is score I want to celebrate, not wait 10 minutes to see if it’s ruled out.

    edit

    <doh>I assume this is an April fools thing, it certainly got me hook line and sinker <laugh><laugh>

    Look at the first letters on the lines going downwards and what do they spell..

    I agree with AshtonRed - in principle I agree with VAR - as a tool to help the referee - as with other sports.
    It’s being used in the wrong way imho.

    I believe that the technology is already installed at Ashton Gate for the Egg chasing.

    I assume it’s different or else why wasn’t it used in our recent cup games, despite being used in the away games.

    i have been extremely busy the last couple of weeks and last week has been intense .. between cups of tea and a biscuit that is ......... checked the EFL SITE AT around 1145 and no big news anywhere else so applied the knowledge gained over decades of "spotting" hidden AFD postings / posters / etc and the simplest is starting sentences with a letter which is a letter of AF. having established that point is not to spoil it for others .. but see how many fish are hooked on the bait ............... my compliment to the poster / author was posted at 9.24pm on the second April ......
