You'd like to think so, exactly the same as Godden

We just need more than one player to receive a retrospective ban for cheating

Sets Luton’s game against Blackburn up nicely. Providing Sheffield lose midweek

Yes, he is a cheat. But if he scores on Saturday it will be welcome.

Mistakes are one thing, cheating another. Suppose the officials hadn't spotted the Hand of Szmodics on Saturday

But that still happens with VAR. I’d rather be able to celebrate properly

My take from is game is:
A. Boro look a really good side, could and should have had two or three. They have pace and are all really good on the ball, a real danger.
B. Luton are shithouses but effective. Their keeper looks a big flakey tho

Surely Morris has to be banned for that dive, or as the EFL class it, conning the ref, worse than Goddens as least he went over a leg, Morris just tripped himself.

I think we'd probably struggle to beat either of them over two legs based on what I've seen of them, but we as long as we're in the game you never know what might happen.

The one that innoys me are shaking hand with their side on leaving the field having already been told to get a move on if this happens the player should be booked if has already been booked so be it.The oncoming player does not come onThe rules are there application isn't.

Same as we just need referees to referee properly.

If technology is controlled by humans it'll always have human error. If a game's played by humans that make mistakes, then the officials making mistakes is what offers some excitement and unpredictability rather than it being deathly dull where you may as well ditch playing the game and just run it through the computer, stopping the we woz robbed tales of woe.

The answer is probably to increase referees' salaries so more want to do it and there's a wider pool of competent ones. We pay the players enough, we can start to reward the good officials.

And accept that mistakes happen.

I think last night was the perfect case in point for the existence of VAR. The play was stopped. That goes to VAR and it's no penalty. That was the perfect case in point how it can work and not disrupt the game at all.

And let's not pretend that goals aren't disallowed anyway and cheers for goals aren't quashed. It's not on the same level at all, but you can always find instances of where a goal is given, the fans cheer, but then after consulting with the assistant, the goal is disallowed.

A good referee on a higher salary, would still have probably given that penalty last night.

VAR is here to stay. There's too much money in the game and too much at risk not to have it. One bad decision could mean the difference of multi millions of pounds.

We just need to make it better and not so picky and not analyse everything within an inch of its life.

It's here to stay.
