I think we should all be able to hear the conversation between the bloke in the var van and the ref too. Obviously having competent officials is a massive problem in whether var is useful or not because as we saw yesterday they completely £#%&!ed it. |

But looking for any opportunity to disallow goals through stupid handballs and the shit we saw yesterday just takes the piss with it. The technology itself isn't bad, it's just the implementation of it is shite. |

Football has forever been a human game; humans playing, managing, officiating and watching, and humans make mistakes. Despite this it became far and away the most popular sport on the planet so we must have accepted it to some degree. No, this came about because of bitching, whining managers constantly looking for excuses for why their teams lost. It was never them, and they never mentioned decisions that went for them, just a constant tsunami of complaints about refs, refs, refs. They gave us this, and now they’re bitching more than ever. |

It works in cricket, tennis because it’s all pretty black and white. Lines and finite aspects. Football has far too much subjectivity to be this forensic. Even the concept of ‘clear and obvious’ is flawed. To who? We could agree on a decision but disagree on its obviousness. And most importantly, as you say, it’s killing the spirit. |

"He's marginally offside". No he £#%&!ing isn't. He's onside or offside. There are no degrees of offsideness. There's no bloody gradations. It's a simple binary choice. Onside/offside, yes/no. Now shut up going on about it. |

oddly, people are happy with the most objective aspect (offside... although maybe not so much with the law itself). whereas they should be banned from putting lines across the freeze frame - it should only be offside if it is clearly offside. toes are not clear. |

It's also turned many more footballers into play-acting cheats. Players that were previously inoffensive now clutching their face every five minutes, because they know there's a chance the ref might be taken in by it on the VAR screen, and absolutely zero chance they'll get done for feigning injury. |

Things are happening which could not have been anticipated ahead of implementation, such as referees being psychologically inclined to reverse decisions when the var tells them to check the monitor. suddenly they start seeing things that aren't there; how else to account for the ref being the only person in the entire country who thinks that's a foul on Son. Even £#%&!ing Mourinho didn't think it was a foul and he's the most one-eyed #@&%! in existence. |
