And yet I'd imagine those relegated will still be very strong Championship sides. The gulf grows ever bigger.

From an outsider perspective, I don't think Wolves are in any danger of relegation at all. I find it hard to see anything other than Luton, Burnley and Blades going down at this point. Although I would like Luton to stay up to defy the odds. In any other season over the last few years that...

Death, taxes, and VAR being shit

If you want to paint me as a luddite because your arguments in favour of VAR are indefensible, fine. Question One: I am in favour of the backpass rule. Statement Two: If you can't see 5 subs was brought in to benefit the big teams with bigger squads, that's on you. Question Three: Depends what...

So? Football is a different sport. Sin bins work in other sports, shall we have that too? Oh, we're having that as well aren't we. Might as well get players to fall over using diving boards, working great for the sport of diving. Why wouldn't it work in football!

A fine example of VAR "working in Europe" last night!

I totally agree with this. If VAR has to stay the acceptable decision would need to be decided, and then automated.

I find it genuinely strange how your post attacks me for seemingly no reason. What have I said specifically that you have issue with? I am happy to discuss VAR with you, you just seem to want to call me an idiot for no reason. I don't want to spend my evening checking your posts if this is...

Also if you are going to call me an idiot, I would at least learn how to spell.

Totally unnecessary 🤷‍♂️

Regardless of VAR opinions, I guess most of us on here would be on board with totally scrapping PGMOL and having a complete overhaul of the way we think about refereeing, and referee training? Edit: I've just taken a look at the PGMOL "X" page and their main concern seems to be with social...

Premier League/PGMOL voting against using automated offsides only fuels fire for conspiracists to think they want to be able to fix games. I'm not saying that is what they want to do, but it leaves the theory wide open.

No problem at all mate - can tell it's a genuine question. For me, this goes back to the chat I had with the Bear. In the old days before VAR, if that's given or not given by the linesman either decision doesn't bother me. The camera is slightly behind Son so it looks more offside than it was...

In cricket there is "umpires call", even if it's clipping the off stump, the umpires call stands if he didn't give the batsmen out. Unless there's different rules in "the hundred" which I don't watch or the rules changed very recently. It's actually refreshing because it means the umpires...

If scrapping VAR wasn't on the table, this is the best compromise for me too. I agree with you!

Which is why the best answer is to just scrap VAR. Why does technology have to come into absolutely every aspect of life these days? I can't agree on the 1cm thing, If there is noticeable daylight that's offside for me, if any part you can score with is onside you're level and it's brilliant...

I'm aware I can come across as abrasive, I'm not looking to annoy you at all with this question, but I am genuinely interested in your answer. If we have automated offsides, do we not need to change the law on what is offside. Because someone's little toe or shoulder being "offside" in my...

Fair enough, I just don't think there's too much I can add to the discussion at this point rather than going over old ground. If even after the Fulham game fans on here want VAR I think it's impossible I can dissuade them otherwise. I'm abrasive, I get that, because I'm passionate. But my...

I've done it but you're welcome to ban me, I've made my point and many agree and on here seemingly disagree. If people can't see it will never work in a way acceptable for matchgoing fans after four years of abject failure there's no helping them I've only ever given people back the same...
