I'm no fan of VAR, never have been. But if you're suggesting VAR is being used / manipulated to satisfy the Asian betting markets, then I'm afraid I'll have to call "Bobbins". Its not corruption. Its just plain old-fashioned rank incompetence.
To suggest the dribbling line-drawing goons at...
Maddison was sent off at the Amex a couple of years ago in the first half, when he picked up a 2nd yellow card for diving in the box. It was a truly delicious moment.
Great player, but he's got it in him.
I totally agree re the tech. Goal-line technology has been a gamechanger for the good (although Sheff Utd fans may not agree, but that really was a one-off aberration). For line calls in football, cricket and tennis, its excellent.

Sorry, I just cannot be having it.
If a manager still has an "appeal" in his pocket, then you might as well give up celebrating a late or last minute goal. As we've seen today, the eager-beavers at Stockley Park are DESPERATELY searching for the slightest reason to chalk off a goal, its...
Unlike cricket and tennis, goals are a match-defining rarity. Its not just an individual wicket or point - its a GOAL. You might not even see one all afternoon.
Literally EVERY goal would be challenged on the offchance of some old bollocks. Foul throw. Some tap on the ankle. A dirty look. Give...
