Apart from the odd 5th round cup tie I’m not sure what purpose it serves.

I don’t get the phrase “clear & obvious error” refs are meant to give what they see, if they don’t see it then it’s not given this has been the platform for over 100 years.

One of the brilliant things about football used to be that it was the save at all levels now it’s turning into 2 different games.

It’s completely random. The Lewis decision was farcical. The point of VAR was to remove errors but now we have the worst of all worlds a game that gets delayed, the joy of goals ruined for what?

I know it's been said before, but why doesn't football follow rugby and cricket where the ref and the crowd can follow the process on the big screens with the discussion heared over the speakers. It seems to work fine for them so why can't football follow their example?

Problem because of the money involved in football compared to other sports.
A wrong decision could have major financial implications.

Plus decisions are debated four days afterwards by various ex players, referees etc...

In rugby & cricket the decision gets made, everyone accepts it & you never hear about it again.

Why did it take them so long to decide Grealish. was offside ?

Both Dublin and myself said within a couple of seconds he is off .

Dublin did not add illegitimate. But I did.

I also apologised to the cat for waking her up.

To me it was a close call who was worse, England or the officials.
Too much of we’re the better team we’ll just show you how good we are by passing it sidewards and backwards most of the match. Think Maguire had more touches of the ball than anyone else. Don’t get it !!


Baldrick ! The only impression you can do is that of a man with no talent !!

It's called keeping possession, if you think England are bad doing it, then watch Spain.

I think the difference there is that the abuse is by mindless fans (idiots) days after the game by social media trolls.  The decision at the time was accepted and there wasn't a huge media frenzy post match.

The level of protection top flight referees in football have to have is unreal, police escort to and from the ground, club officials escorting them off the pitch etc...
