Ipswich 5 points from promotion ?

Congratulations to Leicester . And what a turnaround for QPR too.

I presume here the clubs would have to vote for it to be scrapped. Could that happen? Probably depend on if they have had decisions for or go against them in the last game or two!

All the teams will be scrambling around for his signature.

Brighton have had an on the beach feel to them for a while and obviously Man City have been ruthless. Mind you Brighton could have had a consolation penalty.

They’d probably implement them here then forget about the new guidelines after a while as often seems to happen .

I noticed Klopp put all the bigger names back in yesterday after their good win at Fulham with a “fringe” team . Maybe should have stuck with a winning confident team !?

Another VAR decision goes against Wolves . Can see the steam from here coming out of Gary O’Neil’s ears !

La Liga already play their super cup abroad do they?

Sounds like he was Labour but wasn’t afraid to speak out against them too https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59057974

Chelsea probably wish he had been sent off . It would have given them some sort or excuse for this second half performance. We’d put up more fight !

Think Wenger has suggested daylight offsides in the past but not sure what happened to that idea. I think we just have to conclude the game isn’t any less controversial or confusing with VAR than without which I am sure wasn’t the intention. Infact it’s probably worse for a number of reasons .

Suppose offside could just mean offside and maybe the semi automated system will mean we won’t need to see silly human drawn lines which obviously cause confusion and controversy. What would be the ideal handball rule too ? We've seen all sorts given and not given. How can we make it easier to apply when most of the time it's subjective and a lottery. All this really could have been sorted out by those in charge before VAR came in.

Yes true and it works well but you know what clubs are like . They will want more and get in a strop if an “obvious error” in their eyes is missed because they have no appeals left . Could we use a “umpires call “ type system where his decision is final but the team don’t lose a review for subjective decisions?

Trouble is we all know there will be a massive outcry for more appeals if after a team uses one which isn’t “successful “ they have a much stronger case potentially for a decision but it cannot be looked at as the opportunity has been used up. In cricket the teams accept the final decision as in rugby but obviously in football they don’t. I agree the communication could be better and time taken out of the game .
