FA doing everything they can do do this as poorly as possible so they can just scrap it imo. Its ****ing easy, other leagues, other sports do it just fine with minimal delay and no fuss.
ive always been annoyed by the leniency to physical challenges in england. in a low scoring game like football, theres no need to give defenders more advantages over attackers!
Yes I will.@Brown Gooner you clearly need to read the rules before you judge football
Yes I will.
EDIT: Seriously though it doesn’t surprise me one bit seeing Brits standing up for Brits!
Gab Marcotti though (a football journalist) raised a very good point regarding the Buffon red card. Oliver was head shoved by Joe Hart in the past but didn’t show a red for that but he did yesterday. Double standards galore
Doesn’t surprise me one bit. Sadly England is still in the stone age when it comes to football.
^ This.Yeah, at the moment it feels like they are trying to make it look difficult and time-consuming, even though it's incredibly simple.
Maybe they should consult with some associations of different sports who have used it for years, bunch of incompetent idiots.
VAR doesn't have to ruin the flow of the game, only use it for the really big calls. Penalties, red cards and important offside calls that the ref is unsure of. The ref should still be expected to make 95+% of calls on his own, on the spot. It's important to restrict it's use for the sake of the game.
It'll take time to perfect. It will probably look a bit of a hindrance at times now but that's why it's restricted to the cups. In time it'll become more efficient hopefully and be used in the league.

All the trailing has been done, by other sports, football is too ****ing stubborn to ask for advise.
Just pu
Man Utd against an attempt to make refereeing fairer? Shocking.Pep Guardiola says Man Utd and Chelsea helped block VAR introduction in Premier League
I go to quite a few MLS games these days and it’s totally part of the spectacle, putting aside the value of every goal existing without a question mark hanging over it.Like this development. Makes it alot more fun inside the stadium when reviewing just like with other sports now.
