Var, where to start? they should stick to things that they can get right,offsides are better decided now even tho the wait is not good and the lino can still stop play with a wrong flag!! Use it to check things the ref does not give or see such as off the ball incidents etc. As for the penalty decisions, it has gone tits up,we get this talk of the bar being set high when they dont give a pen, but the bar is low as fook when the ref gives a soft one and they uphold it, totally contradictory. It is in danger of becoming more sinister than helpful, faceless people deciding the main points in a game, taking the pressure off the refs so they dont get the flak from the fans, its almost like it has been implemented to give more power to the football associations to make their own decisions on game outcomes while saving the refs a load of abuse at the same time, a win win for them,and their objectives, a lose lose for football. Oh, and I was for it beforehand as well, but now Im not sure, maybe if the ref just signals for a var check for a penalty rather than make a decision himself, then var would have no pressure to uphold the refs, maybe this would make their job more straightforward, and transparent too. Otherwise they should go back to the drawing board with certain aspects,but while they are getting what they want then it looks like its here to stay.
