I was being a sarcastic twat, as Niccolo so eloquently said earlier. ;-)

Ah right,i thought you were being a dick lol

Definitely agree accountability is an issue. fans are dwelling on decisions and inventing conspiracy theories because nobody is made accountable but equally the fans don’t seem to be willing to accept a var decision might be wrong from time to time and for somebody to come out and say that would then raise countless calls to get rid of it and go back to refs making everything up.

At the very least, every wrong or dodgy decision puts more pressure on the officials, there’s more scrutiny for every decision they make now that they have var to assist them. it’s not going to happen instantly but I think it will lead to a much needed improvement in the quality of our officials

I certainly hope you are right, mate.

I think the body of evidence created from the years preceding VAR have most of us VAR critics very sceptical of that, though.

Barring Mata, who I would still take right now, even if he didn’t play much for us (not like we have any players like that already).

Repetitive. ;)

Which, if true, is also a problem with the implementation.

not really as it doesnt affect the outcome of the decision...

No foul in the build up to the goal because it was a different phase of play,they made one backwards pass so it wasn't the attacking phase anymore
The player got kicked in the box but VAR says it wasn't enough,admits it's subjective
Still peddling the clear and obvious error

The 2 players in the studio disagreed with him on everything

The issues with the current implementation are not just confined to how it impacts outcomes (and there are issues there, as described by many already), they also extend to transparency and fan adoption.
