VAR in the Chelsea game today hit a new low. Same VAR for the biggest game of the new season tomorrow. Zero accountability for the incompetent people who referee “the best league in the world”

They'll take the focus off the Chelsea Fulham officiating tomorrow with some unbelievable bullshit that we'll never see enforced again..

Totally agree, except the VAR actually did get replaced for Liv vs Ars for making that appalling error yesterday.

Hold your opinions, Elliot, until Dale Johnson tells you whether or not the official made the correct decision.

Honestly they could have stayed at home and let Maresca ref the game

That disallowed goal is everything everyone says about VAR They don’t understand the game. They are there to suck the joy and excitement out of it. They’re looking for ways to affect the outcome.

PGMOL Elliot. It’s not VAR that’s the problem, it’s the people PGMOL and Webb are putting on it. We need to focus on the real problem. PGMOL.

So much for not re-refereeing a game! VAR does not have to be this way. But then why else would Howard Webb get on TV.

True football fans understand that AUTHENTIC enjoyment comes from pedantically following rules and/or watching your rivals lose. Get with the times, Elliot.

Webb will be on TV next week claiming that refereeing and VAR are improving on last season's performance. Nothing will be done.

Not being pedantic (really!) but VAR & tech side works well. Offside, goal line tech, exact replays etc But VAR as in referees less so. If you need 5 minutes review & to go back & decidet if an accidental footstep is *maybe* a foul then quite clearly its not "a clear and obvious error".

Michael Oliver has some steep competition for the worst ref this season, but I still believe he will pull ahead in the end.

Howard Webb is still in charge, expect nothing else. He has zero experience leading an organisation and yet here we are a couple of years in.
