Latest Thogden video...

He's got a young blonde girl in as guest predictor who,  whilst predicting Wigan v ManU, comes out with a great quote,  "Wigan, famous for pie barms, coal mines and incest!"

Don't agree with this. If it can't be used at every ground in the competition, it shouldn't be used at all

Same for both teams on the day whether it's used or not.

Be great if a ground without it entertained Liverpool and they didn't benefit from its use.

Teethemstein would blow a gasket.

Liverpool benefit more than most from VAR but get one decision wrong they want the whole game replayed; hate them and their neighbours across the park.

We need to let the authorities know our thoughts on this rubbish VAR which is ruining the sport - Fuck the VAR

In the game, yes

But we could get the benefit of VAR let's say correctly that sees us through as we are away at a prem team

Another team should get a similar decision in their favour but don't because they're not playing a prem team 

Ditch it for all so it's a more level playing field

That's not the point, it shouldn't be used in a competition where all teams can't use it imo

Aye 

It's an extra level of officiating available only to some on the luck of the draw

Which applies to both on any given day.

Either side could benefit or otherwise on the day.

Equally, without it, either side could benefit or suffer.

If it was a league then there would be a concern.

It's not about the two teams on the day

It's about the competition as a whole

So in league one let's say we can VAR for all our home matches but Leyton Orient can't 

Is that fair?

Right then, seeing as we're massive having just won the biggest cup in world football I'll pose this question:

Would you take winning the FA cup if it meant not getting promotion?

Or is it direct promotion above all else.

Given the option, I'd choose promotion.

Winning it? Wouldn't even have to think. FA Cup any day of the week and twice on a Sunday.

Yes, I think I'd probably take that too.

Chances are we'll never win it in my lifetime, so if the opportunity was there, the experience would be difficult to ignore.

Can see the promotion argument though- even winning a major trophy could still see us losing players if we were still in division 3.

Struggling to muster up any interest in this.  If Luton make the expected 8 or 9 changes then we win,  evatt rarely makes wholesale changes even when expected to,  win this then spurs away.

Ps. Is the pitch still plastic
