    Have a feeling this might end up being a disaster at the world cup hopefully wrong. That video above is mental what if something similar happens after a refs blown for full time does he pull them back out then.

    People going mad on social media saying that video is VARs fault and it’s * etc. It’s the refs fault for allowing the players to go in without sorting the decision first.

    VAR works and gives the correct decision whenever I’ve watched it. What I do think it needs though is the ref to have a mic so he can explain what has happened/is happening. That’s what they do in other sports and it works a treat.

    VAR can't make a decision. How can it ?( The refs still make the decisions) And if you think they have already come up with the correct decision you haven't seen much of it.

    I like it, mainly because everyone hates it.
    It's not taken seriously and terribly implemented though, especially in England, it's like the Refs have never used it and had no time to practice. It could be invaluable when players are having scraps, and finally end the current rule where the referee just shows everyone involved a yellow card, as they don't know what happened.
    They need to have training sessions and use it in less important games though. Seems crazy to me that it's being first used at world cups and FA cup matches. We should get it in Scotland though, and goal line technology. Why are we always the last to trial technology.
    You should be able to hear the refs though, like you can in Rugby. But i massively disagree with showing decisions on the big screens, could you imagine the impact of a crowd on a referees decisions.
