Yep. When it first came in many were saying that they were in favour because it would stop on field referees making "top six" decisions. These same top six decisions are now being made in an office in West London. The football establishment hate where we are and secretly can't believe Chelsea...

I do. Since you won't answer, there are some competitions that use an element of AI to determine offside. AIs, as you say, are still programmed by humans and will get things wrong (Googles new one wiped zillions off their share price this week). The same system got Ecuador's goal against Qatar...

I don’t know what VAR’s trying to achieve full stop. Because, if it’s better and fairer decisions and less controversy it’s failed miserably. And it’s killing fan interaction. No way we all go mental if the flag goes up and no way the Nigels get just as big a celebration when it’s ruled out.
