This is why VAR doesn't work, what is plain and obvious to one is the complete opposite to someone else

Well it depends what spectacles you've got on I suppose! But no, you are right, VAR doesn't take away difference of opinion, it just gives them a better look at it. But there are plenty of other reasons it hasn't worked that we've already gone into before.

Rumours Scholes will have this red card rescinded because he didn’t make contact. Harry Kane is acting as his character witness in a tribunal to establish his innocence.

That reminds me of when Tiger delibaretly missed in the masters.
He pulled his punch no dought.
I do remember him saying it was only a joke, but was sent for the intent.
But plenty didn’t belive tiger

Remember when people use to say,
nothing got said when Kane went down easy because he’s English? ?

The Premier League needs to bring in Tim Peel to referee their games. He's the NHL referee who has just been suspended (ie: sacked) for a game Tuesday night when he was caught saying on camera during the game that he wanted to call a penalty on Nashville at some point in the game.
Didn't he say he wanted to do it early? I was told that was encouraged in training by an international level hockey umpire a good few years ago. It set the authority of the official, a bit like a defender going in hard, making the keeper make a save etc. It's a non story the press are trying to make into a story, unless you know more........

Any Sheffield United fans on here? This interview with the owner is intriguing!
Taking a lot of what he says at face value, he seems pretty fair... But then how much of it is bluster to save face?! Always thought Wilder was "one of the good guys" but it's safe to say his well publicised push to have more control over transfers, and then the subsequent results of said transfers has definitely backfired. Brewster is the obvious one, but the keeper doesn't look like the best outlay either!

Exactly - it's game management - you sometimes give a couple of free kicks or a yellow card to set the tone for the match. Or clamp down on something early to let the players know it is not acceptable in that game.
Hockey has a problem in that when you get late in a game or in overtime in the playoffs, referees put their whistles away and you can almost mug someone with a crowbar and get away with it.
This ref in question was notoriously crap and was in his final season before retiring. He got caught saying something that every ref probably says 40 times a season and the league threw him under the bus over it.

Sterling .................... he just can't see the bigger picture.
Someone should tell him it's a team game!

Huge England fan who goes to all the games usually but tonight summed up Southgate.
Why play a holding midfielder against a team where you'll have 80% of the ball? He's so negative and throwing caps around like confetti. He cost England the World Cup in 2018 and he'll do the same in the Euros when push comes to shove and it's decided on tactical acumen.
The only bright spots tonight were Bellingham and Foden. The rest absolute garbage.

We've got no chance in the Euros anyway. All our centre backs and goalkeepers are rubbish. You can't beat top teams with awful personnel at the back.

Exactly why Hearts and Hibs in Edinburgh do it - they trialed both with and without in pre-season and asked the players which they preferred.

I've just realised how awful Pope is at kicking!
He's absolutely atrocious.
I'd have thought kicking a football was a prerequisite for a professional footballer, but obviously not.
