Starting a post with "oh dear, oh dear" is patronising.

And still you're not reading what I'm writing. I'm not advocating using Hawkeye technology. I only referenced it and tennis because it's used on a appeal basis, which is what I'd like to see in football (and before you start saying that tennis is different than football and that it's easier to employ an appeal system in a sport with natural breaks and a shitloads of points – I'm obviously aware of that).

Already today the ref can get called back by the VAR refs to review his decision. This could also be done by either manager having a button they could push or by them waiving a flag or whatever (like in American football).

Please read the ideas from this article and use a little bit of imagination before shooting down my suggestions before actually trying to understand what I'm actually saying: http://www.espn.co.uk/football/blog/fif ... tennis-nfl

I'm not advocating all of the ideas, in the article, but they show that VAR can be improved in a lot of ways and that appeal system is one of those.

you are being cheeky . The very idea of using Hawkeye as an example is wrong .

There are far too many variables and situations that are being videoed in football , compared to the simple , in or out , that Hawkeye manages .

So stick your abuse where the sun doesn't shine .

Learn to read FFS. I never suggested using Hawkeye technology.

You used Hawkeye as an example , why mention it at all?

It’s great isn’t it.

VAR is shite.

VAR designed and manufactured for bent cunts ! The end !

We now see VAR dictating what the ref gives on the pitch and wit that in mind, what if we see (or don't see) more direction from them that affects the game?

I'm not saying it will happen but we could see the game decided by off field directors, and that's my worry.
