That's what I was thinking.

Man Utd have a game Thursday but we have played Monday and Thursday couple of times this season

The same guy was on VAR for that fleck stamp and the balbuena kicking the ball.

Haven't seen it but one of those where the ball is won and the follow through connects.

Never think those are red

Vestegaard red overturned

What's the point of VAR?

A complete waste of time. VAR was supposed to correct clear and obvious errors, half the time I don't think the refs make a decision so that VAR will do it for them, so they are not correcting a decision, but making it. The rest of the time they are taking so long to decide if it should be a penalty or offside that it's ridiculous. If they are checking the ref's decision, which should be a clear and obvious error, ergo, it should take ten seconds to decide, longer than that with the geometry set out looking at every angle for 10 minutes, it can't be a clear and obvious error. I think there should be a minute to check, if they can't decide, go with the ref's decision - if he's actually made one.

It's a definite NO for John Terry.
Tony Adams was far better. If we're going to have a defender in there, it's him.

Yeah, agreed.

Bergkamp, Cantona, Keane, and Vieira are no-brainers.

Adams and Schmeichel should be the other two.

This is the problem, it’s become a crutch for the refs to rely on rather than improving the accuracy of decisions. It’s going to make the actual referees even worse.

If VAR can get it wrong and have decisions overturned there is ZERO point to it.
Time to get rid of it - it's proven to be not 100% accurate, therefore utterly useless.

The other thing I don’t understand
Is timekeeping
It is shocking the amount of times they fail to play anywhere near the correct time
People are being giving offside coz of a bollock
Yet time is a gift at the refs discretion

Ah, timekeeping - something else that seems to favour certain clubs consistently.
We'll never get rid of bias - which drives decisions (or something worse driving it).
We should however have transparency instead of the 'secret society we seem to have with refs.

That’s on FIFA and IFAB they refuse to change from the running clock system it’d be so easy to stop the clock when the ball is dead
