One of the problems is it depends is making the decision in the studio.
For instance, take Fulham’s goal against the dippers that was ruled out for offside - Dermot Gallagher said it was just offside and Liverpool’s ball was hardly moving, so goal to Liverpool and tough shit to Fulham, whereas Mark Halsey on the radio said it was not offside. He also said that because it was a possible goal, the game would stop automatically so that the dippers would not have been able to restart and leg it down the other end to score from a moving ball.
So it just depends who the VAR ref is, but you’d think it will put a big stop to the likes of the rags & dippers.

I'd suspect we'd have had more than 1 pen at Anfield so 4pts.This will 100% bigger teams who create more chances and are often on the end of conversational decisions. We would be 2pts better off already this season after the wolves game!

What will be interesting is the stats turnover/ratio for clubs & referees, of course, that assumes they'll still give the same shit decisions ....

I wonder what chris smalling thinks of this news? Will he ever win a header again without giving a free kick away at one end or a penalty at the other?

Brilliant
Now, can we just have an independent time keeper, please.
Ref puts his hand up to stop the clock (visible to ALL in stadium) for
Injuries/physio
Excessive goal celebrations
Pissing around at free kicks/bookings etc
Pissing around with subs (why not have them "rolling" like Rugby League)
I'll be a happy man
