Quoted from Bigdog
Like cricket.. two VARs per team per match and asked for by the manager to the 4th official within 5 seconds of the incident. Lose one VAR for the manager getting it wrong, keep it if he's right. That is.. if we have to have VAR..


I like this and refs call maybe

Are they getting offsides right? I’ve yet to hear how they calculate the exact moment the ball leaves someone’s foot.

As for the argument about the amount of money at the top level I don’t buy it. The money is only there because the product is so exciting. VAR is devaluing the product.

Jesus. Just seen the VAR penalty for Brighton v Everton.

Defender accidentally steps on attackers foot as they both look at the ball dropping out of the sky. Penalty given, which changes the game completely and turns an Everton win into a defeat.  

Have you ever seen anything quite so ludicrous?

I cannot understand why they are persisting with such a flawed system which is making the game a laughing stock.

Hamburg v Stuttgart today and VAR.
The best part of 60,000 punching the air, cheering, giving it the big 'un to the away fans.
Screen pops up with `Video assist` and it's quiet as a church for two or three minutes.
Then the best part of 60,000 punching the air, cheering and giving it the big 'un to the away fans.
Completely sucks the passion away, it can fcuk right off.

It’s the down right stubbornness of the VAR team not to overrule the referee, or allow him to review the footage pitch side that irks me. I hate VAR, it’s showed that it’s far from practical in football with the amount of controversy around it already, there’s too many grey areas in the rules and the only black and white issue is goal line technology which has been 100% perfect since it’s inception. They keep saying it needs time to bed in and everyone to adjust, absolute rubbish. There will still be the same issues in years to come. VAR isn’t suitable in football and needs disbanding as soon as possible in my opinion.

Rant over 😅



I agree with some of the decisions made and not with others. Certain handball and penalty situations are better reviewed if the ref/linesman is unsighted. I know I would be extremely angry if town lost a match, especially a crucial promotion/relegation/cup-game due to a handballed goal that the ref/lino never saw but could be picked up by VAR.

Would you feel the same way if an accidental step by a defender deprived a town forward of scoring in the penalty area ? The word " accidental "does not appear in the Laws/Rules of the game and never has. Even if a defender never meant to trip a forward in the penalty area, if such a situation arises then it is a penalty. A foul is a foul regardless of whether it was intended or not.

I bow to your rather nauseating sense of being right in every situation.

If you think yesterdays incident was deserving of a penalty then fair enough, but I don't.

It might be better if you gave my posts a wide berth in future.

Agree a foul is a foul whatever the intent if it was deliberate then its a booking or a sending off if dangerous.

Unfortunately it’s not wether   a penalty is deserved. It’s wether it’s the law of the game.  I hate the exaggeration that goes on as much as anyone, but the laws have to be applied. Maybe the laws should be looked at (but we all know that the spineless FA won’t do that)  !!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
