checking the monitor isn’t a negative. It still gives the ref the opportunity to review it and the game not being re reffed. Decisions take an age to come to anyway so why not let the ref decide it, we see his angles he’s working with and there’s no invisible person in the background who isn’t held accountable. It shows how crooked our league is that we haven’t allowed refs to check the monitors.
why not say that in the first place ? You make good points. My point was I don’t think ref running to a monitor will make anyone more happy - you still have the delay, you will have the crowd groaning and moaning when he runs over - and a ref will still give a controversial decision one way or another - it will do nothing to please the conspiracists when the ref sees the screen and doesn’t give a decision they want.
The world cup was tiny sample of games.It would be as it was at the World Cup, successful.

then why not also run the replays hes looking at on the big screens in the stadium ? you know like they promised pre season ?why not say that in the first place ? You make good points.

The monitors are used in the cl perfectly fine and quick,we were told by swasbrick the var checks were going to be done in real time which is a lie,if they can't decide replaying it for 3-4 mins then the ref should check it himselfhttps://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/11899134/var-debate-gets-heated
Le Tiss far more rational here v Cottee.
And he makes a good point - it’s not fun but it’s fairer.
I disagree with Jeff though , a ref running to a monitor on every contentious decision would be ridiculed, fans would boo every time he runs to monitor and it would cause probably longer delays then we have already - then as we saw with the cresswell tackle, it’s so subjective that whatever decision he gives after viewing he still gets labelled a ‘cheat’ corrupt ‘ etc.
