Think its due to Bristol City not having the relevent technology available at their ground.
I did wonder if that was the case.
If the EFL want it they should pay for it. Its not as if they've got no money.
It's absolutely a suck it and see. Just because it's not perfect in country A doesn't mean it can't be a success in country B. There's loads of shit that can be tried. You just need the will to try. e.g. 4 linsmen. Oh no you can't do that ....what if.... What if what? What if Eddie hits a goal kick to Sterling 75 yards upfield and the FB elbows him as he gets it. How can the linesman on the other side of the pitch see it? Let's have one on both sides. Get more younger officials in running the line and fast track them if they're good and get rid of some of the dinosaurs. Just one example. Why refuse to try it just because it doesn't work perfectly in Italy? Can you imagine the Wright brothers packing it in because someone else crashed and burned? Defeatist thinking. You take something and you make it work. Yes I know we're talking about the FA.

This is the first step in the modernisation of football. You can't run this unless there's lots of cameras present. So only the Premier League will get it unless some serious money gets spent on the lower divisions. Next step timekeepers.

I'm all for VAR. My only issue is who controls it? If it's PiGMOL then I expect more of the same shit were getting now.

I’ve been saying this all along. It has the potential to be abused depending on who reviews the incidents. If it was applied fairly then, like technology in other sports, it would help get the human error (whether through incompetence or being bent) out of the game.Agreed.

Good post, nice punchline.It's absolutely a suck it and see. Just because it's not perfect in country A doesn't mean it can't be a success in country B. There's loads of shit that can be tried.

Brilliant post mate
There are so many gray areas with var. Its shit when refs make crap decisions but I would prefer that than dramatically changing the way football is played at the top level. And VAR wont make the the game fair for the reasons you describe.
Bang on. Afucking stupid idea that will ruin the game.
Give the refs their power back. Stop players swearing at/surrounding/harranguing or even talking to the ref. Take their decisions on the chin and get on with it.
Kids won't have VAR at school or on the rec.
It's a simple game which had simple rules. Sort the shit offside rule out or even get rid altogether.
If the tv companies and their pundits wanna bang on about ref's 'mistakes' in order to generate controvesry, viewers and revenue, let them. Just gotta make sure they don't change the rules of the game to do it.
Pay 50 notes for a ticket then have to turn around a watch a giant fucking telly to know what's going on? Fuck that.
VAR will ruin the game and i'll go and watch Radcliffe Borough instead.
