Yep. To the point, and accurate. Then why say that if it was down to referrals and they had been used up, that our 'players and fans could have relaxed and gone mental without fear of it being over turned', when they did relax and go mental anyway?

No, it's not without reason, it's common sense. On average, most teams will concede less than one goal per half, so when they do concede a goal, of course they're going to bloody use it. They're not going to risk losing one nil because they didn't think to use VAR. No, they wouldn't, because...

:flounce: I've no problem with that, but since you didn't know the rules it seems a bit odd that your stating exactly what's wrong with VAR and how to fix it with such certainty, while those that have come up with it do indeed know all the rules. :lolol:

What a palava. Nothing new there. They can ask him for VAR too if they like, but it won't make any difference. Eventually they'll learn that they're wasting their time. Another benefit of VAR is that when players are hassling the ref to change his mind, they put doubt into his mind, hoping to...

The differences are: it's the ref's job to be in a position to see potential penalty calls, and that's what he's looking at (whereas the captain of a team has a job on the pitch to do, rather than just watching for fouls); also, when there's a decision to be made, the ref can take a second and...

But while play continues, the attacking team are supposed to stop and chat to decide if they want to make a referral. Whereas the way it is now, you just play on, and VAR checks it anyway, with no harm to anyone. I don't think the linesman spotted it. I think they're supposed to flag after the...

And as has been covered, you need to specify what's marginal. Is it 30cm? Or daylight?

Sometimes there's no break in play for ages, so it would be a complete farce. I disagree. So unless you know the opponents handled it, or fouled one of your players, you'd just say it was offside. Like I said, sometimes the ball doesn't go out for ages. It's more complicated that it is now, and...

Yes, but what if you believe you should have had a penalty, but play continues? You can't stop and chat. How would it work? How do you signal for a review while play continues, and does the ref immediately stop the game, or does he wait a while before giving you the review?

Yes I know what you were trying to say, but how often are goals actually scored against each team? On average, it's less than 1 goal per half, so if a goal scored against you'd, you'd challenge it. It's only been going a bloody week. Let's see how people feel at the end of the season. See above...

Complaining to the ref doesn't mean they know. Defenders often put their hands up for offside, but there's much more chance the linesman is right. Equally strikers often celebrate only to later find out they were offside. They don't know. Seriously? If you'd read my reply you'd know that I knew...

I think it's great. Excuse me ??? One issue I see with that is that it's often impossible for the players to see when it is and isn't offside. They're watching making runs, or watching the ball, and can't see where the defender is the moment a pass is made. They'd end up just referring each time...
