Chances are we’ve proposed this knowing it won’t go through with very much an intention of concentrating the minds of the PGMOL.
I think we might end up looking like Will Ferrell in old school running down the street naked expecting everyone to be behind us only to turn around and see no one.
 
Lines drawn only of use if synchronised with the split second the ball is kicked.
 
It's a shame really as I think the way we have presented the argument is very good. Compare it to Forest's "WE WILL SEE YOU IN COURT FUCKERS" for example.

Shouldn't be throwing shit when a good thing is done but here we are.
The way the press have been on this, they will jump on a price rise against his fans comments

I will of course retract my comments when Jeff announces a 5% price reduction next week...
 
It's an easy cost-free bit of PR for Jeff / the club by pandering to the fans' biggest in-match frustration. And the timing is perfect just ahead of inevitable ticket price increases.

What objective measure is the spirit of the law?

No idea. Freeze-frame and eyeball it, benefit of the doubt to the attacking player?

These ultra-marginal decisions are a blight on the sport though. Staring through a microscope to see if a guy was an off by the width of a piece of A4?
 
Poor Arsenal feel similarly agreed (aggrieved surely?) with -7 compared to our -17 which is two and half times more decisions going against us than the next worse.
 
It's a clear outlier. It's not an accident, the six year figure will be even further from the next closest.
 
Change the offside rule to “any part of the body that can score a goal is onside means there is no offside offence”.

VAR can only be invoked by manager or captain twice in a match, successful review retains VAR request (like cricket). They have to be clear about what incident they want reviewed.

Referee can invoke VAR to check a specific incident and VAR can only check/rule on that - if they see something the referee hasn’t asked about, VAR has no jurisdiction. Ref is mic’d up so crowd know what is happening (like rugby).

VAR are only ever involved if asked other than for the new offside rule.

Fixed it.
 
Internationally there are varying reports on this. Suddeutsche Zeitung did a bland update. L'Equipe too. As I have family there, I see that El Tiempo in Bogota published all of the points made by Wolves in a very fair report.

You want to go back to shit refs having all the power then that's up to you but you reap what you sow.

I get that VAR in it's current incarnation and guidelines isn't good enough but tinfoil hat on the refs don't want VAR, they want their power on the pitch and we all know that they aren't good enough there.

If you doubt what I'm saying go and watch the Championship, the decisions are shit and fans moan like fuck about them

We have a solution, it needs to be better.

The same shit refs sit on VAR and re-ref the shit refs FFS

I'm done with PL football till VAR is gone, and if it doesn't go then so be it.
 
I think VAR has a place for TV viewers.

But anyone with a passion for the game and that attends live games regularly, will tell you that it’s killing the game.

I don't think it does...well, not if you are watching Wolves. Yes you can see what they are looking at, but don't get anything other than the comms talking about what they think and in the end you are still fookin fuming at the outcome (most times)

Also you tell the wife "Yeah I will do that when the game finishes around 5pm and at 5.30 still watching the game, man she is furious and does not accept VAR as an excuse
 
On the rest is football pod this morning Lineker and Co were discussing the Wolves submission, He read out the whole piece and asked the question "any of the points to disagree with here?" And the answer came back no, theyre all valid. Although none of them thought it would get scrapped, Shearer thought it should stay but must be made better within 12 months. Lineker was for scrapping it, maybe bring in a 2 reviews per game option, Richards was for scrapping it.
 
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on VAR: "I don't think they're voting against VAR, I think they'll vote about how it gets used, because that's definitely not right. I understand that.

"In the way they do it, I would vote against it, because these people are not able to use it properly.

"I do not think VAR is the problem but the way we use it is the problem. So, you cannot change the people obviously, it's clear. You need them. So yeah, I would vote for scrapping VAR."
