    The decision has gone to VAR. They are drawing crayon lines to decide whether to use it or not.

    Mistakes or thing being missed were part of the game.

    Not anymore mate. We need to watch it back 369684 times and suck the life out of the game for fans in the ground and then still give the wrong decision <laugh> and then have the balls to say we are 'improving the game' <doh>. And we still let refs hide away and not explain their decisions in post game inteviews. Haul the ****ers out in front of the cameras after the game and release the audio recordings from the games within 10mins of the final whistle.

    It will always be biased aswell just like it's always been for as long as I remember.

    Another reason I hate it. The big teams get things replayed at a dozen times whereas the other teams don't. Corrupt as ****.

    I was talking to a lad in the club last night and he said that VAR will only be used for the championship playoff final. I have no idea if this is true though.

    No further update from the EFL other than that.

    I'm for var in principle, but I think it needs a major rethink. It's not being used correctly, but the concept of checking quickly to make sure decisions are correct has to be a no brainer. The rules need refining to accomodate it properly, i think. That being said, I'm completely against playing a whole competition and then changing the rules for the final game. Hope it doesn't happen.

    I don’t think I want it. I like football the way it was.

    City first half yesterday. Kurt Zouma blatantly kicks Jésus in the knee. Ref missed it. Sky commentator says “var say no clear and obvious error”. It was as clear and obvious as it gets. This happens a lot of the time. Someone is saying “we’ll give it when we think we need to”

    So, I’ll n less words, I agree with everything you said!!!

    If it was used correctly there’d be umpteen penalties every game at corners for holding on. No where in the rules does it say’ hold the ****a back’ but it’s rarely given.

    Bollocks to that, they still use it for opinions rather than facts

    Despite its failings, i still believe this favours us over them

    Presumably a ref who is familiar with VAR will have to officiate. So not the usual L1 dross?

    If that's the case, won't it have to be a premier League ref?

    Don't know what to think about this, not a big fan of the way the technology is being used, is it a goal or not, but we'll just have to wait and see.

    Not necessarily against it but surely the referee (and all officials really) has to be someone who has refereed in a big game where VAR has been used.

    Absolute shambles of a decision if the appointed referee has only been trained on it etc.

    VAR would be like a crucifix and cloves of garlic to Wycombe ...

    ... it would completely thrown their game plan out.
