VAR sytem

On the plus side, it's his first booking of the season, and you have to have five before you get a suspension. That's unlikely for him with only 13 games left this season.

Plus, they won.

Good. Anything that helps to reach the right decision from an incident, is fine by me.

If we had it that night in Paris, we could still have qualified for the World Cup. How long was the game disrupted because the wrong decision was made? Several minutes at least iirc. At least when it happens again, we can take all that time up getting the correct decision. Better late than never.

As regards the Napoli incident, yellow cards are never rescinded. I haven't seen it but I assume it was the "celebration" that has been an automatic yellow card offence since 2003. Every player knows what will happen if they do it. The fact the goal was ruled out is no defence for him. He knows what the rules are.

Why are they making such a bollix of this? I am in favour of it but they really are doing everythigng arseways. Firstly it needs to be played on the big screen in the stadiums.  Why are they not informing the crowd whats going on?

They are going to have to spend serious money to Implement VAR.
It needs 3D technology and be 99% accurate.

At the Spurs v Swansea match they had the crappy lines again. It still wasn’t clear if Son was offside.

VAR is sh*te, just interrupts the natural flow of a game. If you want tmo’s and video replays and gutless non decision making then watch f**kin rugby. The only working review system that takes hardly any time is Hawkeye in the gaa, but waiting about for a call doesn’t suit football. Without controversial calls it wouldn’t be the same anyway. Having said all that, if they restrict this nonsense to the epl fake football and the pretend patriotism of international football, which died after the 88 euros, then fair enough.

The Premier league clubs have voted not to use VAR next season in the league.

The referees are the people who have the power to allow or disallow major incidents. Some of them turn games, decide cup finals, get teams promoted or relegated, and contribute to resignations and sackings. So they have to get decisions right, and the authorities have the responsibility to give them every opportunity to get them right.
