    Though if there had been VAR we wouldn’t have been beaten by Arsenal in a Cup semi-final in 1930 or by Stoke in a quarter final in 1971.

    If VAR had been introduced in 1930 it might be fit for purpose today. Although using canaries and string could have been problematic.

    Aye, but they ran differently then.

    In tennis and cricket why don't they show the real camera footage?

    Because people would realise it’s all a bit of a guess.
    The cartoons mean that people believe it really works so don’t question it

    Some big FA Cup news... It's been confirmed that VAR will be in use at Sheffield United on Sunday - making AFC Fylde the first non-league team to ever use the system. Let's keep those armpits tucked in lads.

    VAR is unfair to players with big noses or massive Afros. Phil Thompson or Marouanne Fellani would never get the offside decisions.

    **** it off it's killing the game.

    Speaking to a Leicester fan at weekend who recounted a conversation with a TWS fan he’d had.
    Both looking forward to no VAR next season.

    It's the one thing I dread about us going up at some point. VAR is bad enough on telly but being at the stadium it's got to be such a buzzkill, knowing that every goal you see could be overturned.
