Slightly ironic that he got booked for complaining last night then. ;-)

And they aren't now?You have to accept the referee's decision, that is how I grew up,
"The decision is the decision. In 26 years I have had plenty of bad decisions, I have had plenty fall in my favour. It is what it is.
As I've mentioned previously, if everyone adopted his attitude to decisions, then fine, i would be more than happy to scrap VAR.
But I know for a fact fans will be in utter rage week in week out on refs decisions when a player is clearly offside or clearly dives with no contact etc.
An unexpected consequence of var is the rise of diving and feigning injury.

Show me a player clearly diving with no contact and getting awarded a penalty from last couple seasons.
I could show you plenty pre VAR.

I was genuinely under the impression that VAR would be to help with the once-in-a-blue-moon errors like the wrong Arsenal player being sent off at Stamford Bridge that time or the phantom Stuart Attwell goal given. And the glaring offside errors whereby the linesman has missed a player or something.He’s totally right. Remember when VAR was brought in - the argument seemed to be refs needed tools to help them. This is not where we have ended up
How it’s manifested into what it is today, micro-analysing ever minute detail of every goal and causing mass holdups throughout every game, is beyond me.

Bit pedantic but I think he got booked for persistently leaving the technical area.
Only from idiots who are trying to maintain an untenable position that VAR is a positive addition to the game.Am I seriously reading on here that the shite implementation of VAR is making the game more exciting and drawing more people to it? Really?!?

That’s what he said. Whether it‘s true, we probably will never know.Bit pedantic but I think he got booked for persistently leaving the technical area.

Not sure calling people idiots because they have differing opinion to you is great for the discourse on this thread.Only from idiots who are trying to maintain an untenable position that VAR is a positive addition to the game.
The Romero challenge was not the worst challenge you'll ever see. Your acting like it was gbh. I can see why it was missed as it was the follow through that was the issue. Udogie's was the worst and Havertz challenge also worse than Romero. Anthony's assault on Doku was worse. You continue to try to find ways to support a system that is a parody of itself now and is actaully making the game a farce.how about the Romero challenge which the ref missed ? which can't blame him as bodies in way and all at frantic pace.
Should Romero really have just got away with that?
Its idiotic to say appalling officiating and failing technology is good for the game as a spectacle.Not sure calling people idiots because they have differing opinion to you is great for the discourse on this thread.
