Could say the same about Max Bird. His season with Derby finishes on Saturday. In theory available for the Stoke game?

Down the road AI may be the answer. It would relatively straightforward to programme what is a hand ball, what is a foul etc. It will almost certainly need refining and various iterations, but taking the human element out of VAR is the way forwards.

The simple solution to the VAR problem is to allow, as in cricket, the on field captain to call for a review of contentious decisions. I would suggest one review per each half, to be retained if the review is successful, lost if it’s not. As in cricket the review would be carried out by an off field official whose decision would be binding. No need to send the on field ref to a monitor. The on field captain would be able to review any decision, including offside, handball, potential second yellow cards etc.etc and adds an element of discretion in the use of VAR.

What’s your view on Burgzorg Dave? Fits the profile of what we’re looking for. 1 year on his contract at Mainz. I thought he was impressive last Saturday.

Celebrating staying up when you can still mathematically go down. Who would do such a foolish thing?

TBF Tim, you can’t blame the ref. The linesman for their goal was shocking. Thd Cornick goal looked on, but was much tighter. That said the Lino should only give offside if he’s certain. Looked like he guessed to me.

Robbed of the 3 points by two poor offside decisions. Good point nonetheless from a good performance.

Clearly offside.

He tried that chip finish last week. Lesson not learnt.

Not at all confident. We could always confuse them by wearing our third kit.

Stadium of Light Deepdale Carrow Road would be my top 3 St Andrew’s would be the bottom of my list.
