    After watching highlights of the West Brom/Liverpool game it's put me right off video technology, it's going to take some time to get used to, the wait is horrible and the fans were booing, they didn't like the hold up.

    I hate it and if it is to be brought in I would be looking for it to be a challenge system like tennis.


    Never seen the Liverpool game tonight but in the Chelsea Norwich game last week they used it to give an offiside then never used it and Chelsea were denied a stonewall penalty

    They should stop the clock when they’re reviewing things.

    Felt like they spent more time reviewing than they added on at the end of the half which would be frustrating.

    Aye that’s one of the main things for me.. they need to look at bringing in massive screens like rugby for it to work..

    Naw.

    Well not tonight anyway.

    Added on 4 minutes at the end of the half but there were loads of stoppages in the first half which seemed like a lot more than 4 mins.

    Danny Baker on VAR
    "VAR is the football equivalent of the bore who sits behind you in the cinema who, during a really exciting film says, "Hmm. This film is set in 1983 but they didn't actually introduce that rolling stock on the railways until 1987."

    "VAR is sucking all the life out of what was a pulsating cup tie. Literally draining the atmosphere. So, we may have a correct game by computer but dull match in flesh and blood. Absolutely awful. yet this terrible thing will be rolled out."

    "What numbs a crowd is the idea that now THEY aren't the people at the event, they are just watching something that is being judged and relayed from some remote office. Supporters are now just extras at their own event. VAR MUST BE ABANDONED."

    I can see that point of view too.. but it’s happening and it will stay, too much as stake for the big money clubs now..

    And I’m sure it will get smoother, but football needs to stop being arrogant around it and get help from Rugby, Cricket or Tennis etc..

    Even just the ability to hear what the referee is saying would be a good start at least then they no what he's looking at etc

    Aye.. for me the refs need to be microphoned up.. they can’t have it both ways..help with all their decisions but we can’t hear how they reached them..

    Also if they were audible all the time, it would need to change the way players address the Ref etc.. so it would be a massive game changer.. with the language that would be permitted to be broadcasted.. lol.

    It needs time to be properly implemented and developed, but it’s a good thing.
