Social media especially Twitter is a cesspit of abuse and it happens too often that there is this level of abuse and the social media platforms need to find ways to stop these people getting a voice

Before people got social media they just abused from the stands

Awful manager but he's 100% correct on VAR there. Useless system that has ruined the game and made referees ten times worse.

Still continues to baffle me how other sports have video assisted refereeing and it works absolutely fine with minimal adverse impact on the game.

Rugby and NFL are two that immediately spring to mind.

Then you've got TMO in Cricket

Hawkeye in Tennis

Yet the richest sport in the world can't get it right.

Because its subjective and opinion based.

Most of the other sports are very clear cut.

Two things. On the one hand, decisions that other sports use it for are black and white - was the ball on the line or over, did the ball hit the bat or not, etc. Whereas football has countless grey areas and subjectivity around whether something was a foul or not. But on the other hand, the sport is owned and run by money-grabbing morons so it was always a losing battle.

Remove these things from being reviewable, and it would improve enjoyment of the game infinitely.

Just use the automatic offside and goal-line alerts and let the referee referee instead of the responsibility being passed to someone sat in a tiny room hundred of miles away surrounded by monitors.

Wasn't it 4 minutes last night to rule out the Chelsea goal for offside? I know it wasn't automated but it might have had the same issue?

I think football is more free flowing than those other sports and so the break in play stands out more.

I also think that the failure to include the spectators in the process is a mistake. In those other sports you can both see and hear what is going on. In football they see nothing in the ground and no spectator hears any of the discussion. Make fans part of it, they would understand it more then.

Oh, and have a 2 minute, or less time limit on any decision. If you can't see clearly after the time agreed, the infield decision sticks.

Yep. Although in the other sports there are still errors of judgement.
It's only football where it's still being discussed days later.
Also, there aren't many other sports where one score/penalty/red card given or denied is felt to have decided the result. That level of ref blaming is reserved for football.
