TheBrownBottle Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 1 minute ago, Nobody said: Absolutely. And while we're at it, can we scrap it all other levels as well? You’re pushing an open door with me on that one Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE waiting five minutes to learn whether or not I can celebrate a goal. I hate spontaneity.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 1 hour ago, TheBrownBottle said: There shouldn’t be any VAR in the FA Cup. The game should be played under the same rules in all ties in the competition Aye, agree with this. Possibly the Semis & Final since they're all at Wembley and the same applies to all 4 clubs, but when it's used for some and not for others at the same stage, it should be the same across all ties.

Yeah, agreed. I’m a boring traditionalist, so I’d rather not have VAR - but having different rules within the same round of the competition just seems really wrong. Having the final ties at Wembley being VAR-based makes a lot of sense if it is to be used (and a referee’s mistake at that stage would be a lot more costly) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard of refereeing in this league is an all time low - however they are recruiting / training them it needs to change. They are clearly not up to the job - can't seem to handle the pressure.

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 What's crazy is the ref had a brilliant view of it, made the correct call, gets told to look at the replays, which confirm it was the correct decision and he then changes his mind I can only assume the moment a referee is told to take a look the doubt starts to creep in and they must feel that they have messed up and that they have to change their mind, it's madness VAR could be amazing but it's being operated by morons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been start of 86-7 season. I genuinely said to my mate on the day, that guy is going to be absolutely top class. You could see it then.
