VAR is ruining the game. There's enough bureaucracy in the world without this cr*p.
# BAR VAR !!

No, for good reason.

Rearranging those four words, you get "For no good reason" ! 😎

By the same token.

Get you."

An unbelievably poor use of VAR in the Chelsea v Newcastle game the other day with Chelski's Chalobah nearly ripping the shirt off one of the Newcastle players in the box. Nothing given.

Bad enough that David Coote the referee missed it but John Brooks on VAR duty failed to change the decision or even to ask Coote to look at the pitch side screen. Feckin' dire.

I think this pair of clowns have reffed our games in the not too distant past. Cannot believe they are Select group refs. Overpromotion don't even begin to cover it.

And we think the refs are generally rather poor in League 2.

Another baffling VAR error yesterday. Kane kicked in the box. Nothing given.

VAR clowns: John Brooks again, "assisted by" Marc Perry.

It was suggested the foul was deep in added time and Spurs had already won.

Why does football continue to get this so wrong compared with rugby and cricket ?

It's been awful of late, I've been anti VAR since before it was even implemented.

I guess the difference between football and most other sports is that most decisions are open to interpretation and aren't always black and white.

Regardless of how many times you watch a replay, you might call it a foul, I might not. Granted, the Newcastle penalty appeal the other day was as black and white (no pun intended) as they come.
