I miss in the first season when we actually got to see them putting down the lines in real-time. Many people would moan on tight calls when it was toes offside.
Now we only get to see a red or green, on or off decision line which has taken away transparency and put more control back in the hands of PIGMOL. Unsurprisingly Liverpool have gained the most from this change.
I personally would like the automated system FIFA introduced at the World Cup to be used.
Stand by for an iffy one in their favour on wednesday night.
We don't play in the right colour. And our owners are horrible, smelly foreigners (the non-American type, obviously).That's the way it works. Like all the favourable calls we got after Rashford's non-offside goal.
Oh, wait a minute .....

Also, did PGMOL(?) ever actually admit that an error was made at "The Theatre of Dreams"[emoji769]?

Crystal Palace 1-1 Brighton: Robert Sanchez howler costs dominant visitors as PGMOL apologises for VAR mistake
Robert Sanchez's second-half gaffe and a VAR error cost Brighton a deserved win at Crystal Palace as the Seagulls' winless run against their rivals extended to a seventh match.www.skysports.com
Pigmol apologises, lol.
I do know that all the PL assistant referees have been asked to attend a refresher course on offside following St Marcus's incident a few weeks ago. However, I'm sure the assistant got it right and it was the ref/VAR who conspired to balls it upWe don't play in the right colour. And our owners are horrible, smelly foreigners (the non-American type, obviously).
Also, did PGMOL(?) ever actually admit that an error was made at "The Theatre of Dreams"™?
I;m sure VAR wasn't brought in for that type of call. I don't think anyone would really complain if something that close went against your side. It's the "clear and obvious" errors that need to be acted on.The Harvey Barnes call yesterday was one of those calls, glad he bagged one afterwards.
The highlight for me so far is Luke Shaw's comedy shorts.Do we still have the same defenders of VAR on here? I mean its becoming clear it has made the game worse, by a mile as well. I mean it was brought in to stop stupid nonsensical decisions but we're actually getting more with VAR.
For me, they just need to have ONE person making the judgement calls. The ref. If he gets it wrong he gets it wrong, we all moan about him, he gets a performance review.
Instead we have (Sometimes) unidentified, unqualified, and without public scrutiny, "people" making decisions. No wonder there's no consistency when there's soooooo many involved.
One person the ref.
