Fox

Quoted from bawarmy

Just thinking Justin Whittle might have been in. a bit of bother  if VAR had been around when he elbowed Shearer

I still have a little laught to myself when ever I see that scar just above his lip when he appears on MOTD

Quoted from Abdul19

I reckon he'll be going to the NASL rather than the MLS.

Agre with this. Have got it in my mind that he was going to Texas (?) becoming a brickie and probably playing part time. I think that was probably the last time we see him, so talking about ending on a real high and a real low! If it is the end then it's goodbye with my good wishes, improved the team when it was hugely needed and never let us down. Never going to be in the greats of gtfc left backs ,but in the context of our circumstances he did a very important job, fit and committed. Thank you mr. Fox

Had to feel sorry for him making that long walk off staring at the floor .

Quoted from Mariner93er

It was a challenge worthy of a red, ultimately. The shiteness of the VAR is admittedly frustrating, but it was a red. I like Fox though, always gives his all and I hope he bounces back stronger than ever.

I don't have a problem with VAR and as you point out, it was a red but the ref didn't give it immediately and as such he did not see it as a red card challenge. The issue I have at the moment is that VAR wasn't applied to all yesterdays FA Cup ties and as such wasn't a "level playing field " - no pun intended. If that same match had been played at BP with the same tackle and ref then a red card wouldn't have been issued because VAR wouldn't have been used. If it is going to be used then it shouldn't be piecemeal but across all games across the FA Cup spectrum. If that facility isn't available for ALL FA Cup matches then it shouldn't be used for any until it is.

Who pays for the installation of VAR-we can't even put "smelly" things in the bogs [unless you count that bloke who sits near me]

Which stand and seat number are you in Golfer, I've just checked myself and my wardrobe and all seems ok  .

If you are going to install VAR or even use VAR it needs to be on a separate TV camera system and not to rely on TV cameras.  It was unfair on Town that not all fa cup games used VAR why?

Was it because we had it due to it being shown on foriegn TV as not all fa cup games that had Premier league sides had it.

It just stinks of favouring PL teams.   The bit that's annoyed me is the ref actually waved play on.... Then yellow carded Fox....only for Moss to pull it back after a min or so.  

Quoted from GrimRob

There's no way var is going to be overturned, that would be an admission of total incompetence.

Totally agree Rob - almost.

My question is "why is VAR anywhere near disciplinary issues?"

VAR should be used ONLY for technicalities, such as Offside, or infringements that MAY rule a goal in or out. Or possibly when mistaken identity occurs.

Most of these "Elite" officials are not fit for purpose; they have their favourite "teams" and their decisions are based on guess work 80% of the time.

They can take up to two minutes to organise a free kick, especially if booking players etc. This is because they are nearly all too old, too fat and out of breath after 15 minutes. They will then book a player who takes 5 seconds too long to take a throw in.

The fact is, PGMOL don't appear to want VAR here. They didn't want it last year and they only use it in Cups this season. Why didn't we have any refs at the World Cup? Because they don't want to use VAR because it questions their judgement, perhaps.

VAR can be a great improvement in the game - but not with these officials who deem themselves too important to have their decisions questioned.

So, my response to the card issue is that yes, it was probably a red, but VAR should not be making that decision.

The ref waved play on as Palace had advantage as they were moving forwards until one of their players kicked the ball into touch.
