    Didn't spot that.

    VAR needs an overhaul

    Completely with you. Don't scrap it. Just ditch the microscope, slide rule stuff. They should have taken one look at that yesterday and said that's too close to call and there is no obvious error. Use it for stuff like ...... was the tackle made inside or outside the penalty area, for pens...

    We NEED to appeal that.

    Not sure they can. There would be an absolute outpouring of anger from managers saying the officials have made horrendous mistakes and made glaring errors and missed stuff. You can't win really. Just need to stop the nonsense VAR decision making and use it properly, because at the moment...

    We NEED to appeal that.

    I don't think there is any conspiracy. I just think there is ineptitude.

    The game has gone

    Well said. If you are having to draw a line, then it's not clear and obvious.

    And that's it right there isn't it. If she is right and the technology and frame rates are not good enough, it simply shouldn't be used for these types of decisions.

    Man U and City fans? Or fighting amongst own supporters?

    The banner

    It does look fabulous, it has to be said. Well done, whoever conjured that up.

    Yeah. So surprised they spelled it all correctly.

    He did. He was very solid. I would play him against Hull.

    Get VAR in the fucking bin

    I'm really surprised he didn't trip over that as he tried to get back to defend the attack

    Get VAR in the fucking bin

    Nope. It's been utilised incorrectly. Use it for obvious errors. We can now tell if a ball crossed the line or not. We can use it to see if a foul was made in the area, or whether it occurred outside. We can see if a bad tackle was actually worse than it first appeared, or whether a player...

    Agree. Completely. They can't even get the line in the right place at times.

    Anyway, I am not as peed off the offside as others are and it's not what I wanted to focus on. We should be talking about the performance.

    I have always said, it should be a look of 20-30 seconds max. If they can't find a definitive, clear cut answer there, they go back to the on-field decision. I am not creating ambiguity. I am saying it simply cannot be allowed to go to such miniscule levels. It makes the game a joke. Because...

    Get VAR in the fucking bin

    I defend it. I continue to defend it. What I can't defend is the way it is implemented. That is where the problem lies. If they used it properly, it would be a great boon to the game. I 100% believe that. As it stands, I too want it binned. Because it appears they are going to continue with...

    Clear and obvious would be something you could see instantaneously. You would look and see a player is clearly ahead of another.. Very simple really. I don't believe my argument goes against me at all. If you look at a replay and you have to study it for 4 or 5 mins, that's not a clear and...

    But factual to what degree? How far do you go with it. With handballs for possible penalties, they could go into even closer detail if they wanted to see how many millimetres an arm is away from a body, to show it's in an unnatural position. They could take 10 mins over if if they wanted to get...
