How can you speed a close decision up on VAR? You can't really. It needs to be analyzed. I'm out of this.

[Albion] Villa Caraboa Cup
- Thread starter amexer
- Start date
I can be arsed and it’s 10,500 miles.
It’s the only game at the Amex during the almost 3 weeks I’m in the UK so I am absolutely going
Newcastle away followed by Chelsea away. Who’d’ve thunk it eh?

Yeah, the PL really annoy me as there are plenty of times we have 2 away on the trot followed a few weeks later by two in a row at home. Why on earth can't they space them equally?

Well we certainly have too many cup competitions, most of them meaningless, no doubt about that. Personally l'd rather just retain the FA Cup if it meant all participating teams played their strongest players.. That might bring the excitement, and the crowds, back.

I think the logistics of, say, both Merseyside clubs (or both Manchester clubs for example) playing home games on the same day means that it can't be as straight-forward as simply alternating H-A-H-A etc.I could be wrong.

Making an exact science of this is wrong especially when at the final point some of it still comes down to interpretation. It should identify things that the ref has missed and perhaps needs to be treated as a permanent 4th eye to pick up other things on the pitch which are missed. If you can't make a decision in 30 secs then thats it .

Better still, do away with Stockley Park and the 4th eye, leave it to the three officials on the field the way it's always been done since football began.

Sadly not - although as it is for charity (Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy; there's a load of shows all over the UK that evening) that's a good thing. I won't mention that the tickets were a tenner as well...

My mojo is currently very low too. Horsham YMCA awaits. Home to mighty Margate in the FA Cup tomorrow, if anyone is interested.

I wonder how many of those that aren't going will be keeping tabs on the match whilst it's in progress? Personally, when the Albion are playing that's me committed for that 2 hours, so I might as well go and watch it live.
There's also the fact of having lost Locadia and Andone I'm interested to see the likes of Connolly and Alzate perform.

My only home game in two years +, gagging for it. Geordies and Chelsea away in the same week too, beer, mates and Albion, cannot wait!

London clubs play on the same day. I know it'd be hard for the local police but it seems rich that fans of all other clubs suffer.
