Not VAR related (no VAR in League One), but this one outdoes Phil's non penalty the other night.....



Rochdale's game at Lincoln today, I'm assuming. That is stunningly inept.

Ref was daydreaming about refereeing his favourite club and forgot he was refereeing a league 1 match. Riley will be promoting him to the top flight next year on the back of that decision though so he'll be happy out.
 
VAR just exposes stupid mistakes from refs which they could easily cover without it.
Now, VAR is not perfect, not because of the technology, but because of the REFs who use the technology (Foden's rejected pen was a prime example).

We still feel annoyed by the final result of using it, but it will make football better over time. It would be fairer because now we can see mistakes from refs and discuss it more clearly with multiple angles from recorded videos (while before, we only use our "feeling" to discuss). So it will force refs have to improve their quality, and it's good in the long term.

They said that about them going professional and paying them a shed load of money...

Pigmol is a closed shop, there is no need for them to improve. They make their own rules, (i.e. retirement age) they are not answerable to anyone. As long as the money keeps rolling in they will continue to be exactly what they are now.

Yep and bar a few bad apples that were just plain bent (which won't be solved by paying them more money, just as it doesn't with politicians) the standard of refereeing was higher before they went professional.
Not only has the standard of decision making gone down since, but the standard of fitness has dropped alarmingly as well. They should be training 2-3 hours, 4-5 days a week absolute minimum. Some of them look like they only drag themselves out of the lazee-boy when they've to waddle around the pitch for 90 minutes.
I dare say I spend more time keeping fit in normal times than 80% of pigmol refs and that's with having to balance it with a business, 2 kids, cooking for the family, looking after the dogs and ponies etc.
 
Did anyone else pick up that Kun's pen was VAR scrutinised to see if he played it off his standing foot. I thought the delays between scoring and kick off for each of our goals was long last night given so little controversy around each goal.
Microscopic scrutiny.
