"Clear and obvious" decisions
I'd rather have the ref make decisions even if some are wrong, and not have the ridiculous waiting for goals to be allowed / disallowed. Ruins the elation of the goal. Previously glancing at the linesman or ref at the instant of the goal was enough.
I hate it.
After 5 minutes. It's shit. Even the simple stuff takes 2 minutes. It's a farce.Not only that, but it's much easier to sympathise with a ref who has made an understandable balls-up in real time, it's far harder to support them once they've asked their mates, had a look at a monitor and come away saying 'yeah, I nailed that decision, didn't I?'
Refs need to by mic’d up like they are in rugby so we can hear their thought process and reasoning. Images being reviewed by VAR should be visible to the crowd in the stadium.It took the egg chasers five years to get it as good as it is now, (not without problems) which is now a part of the game and good in my humble opinion. It is also good that they also get almost all decisions right! The problems in football are, the break up of the game, the uncertainty to celebrate, or not, and then they still fucking get decisions utterly wrong - like the penalty to Manure last night! WTF? I thought it was introduced to stop this crap! We may as well have Howard Webb!

Ref plus monitor for 4th official. Forget Shockley ParkI'd rather have the ref make decisions even if some are wrong, and not have the ridiculous waiting for goals to be allowed / disallowed.

All three of the incorrect decisions last night were clear and obvious in real time let alone after numerous replays.
From a technical perspective it is not fit for purpose as we have seen numerous times this season with incorrect / dubious decisions that have gone against us. Compound this with incompetent officials both on the pitch and in the var booth and you are basically fucked.
I always thought that the big 6 received too many decisions in their favour. I welcomed VAR as I genuinely believed that it would make the game a more level playing field as it would ensure that correct decisions were enforced and the 'Howard Webb effect' was thrown into obscurity. On last night's decisions - not so! WTF??
Having watched MOTD last night and seen all three penality decisions being utterly wrong
and which i believe most fans could tell in real time
what is the point of VAR?
