    I'm not a fan of what I'm about to say because it's used unnecessarily at times. But Oldham is a proper northern club. Good to see them back in the league. Chuffed for 'em.

He really doesn’t.

This old firm game is a reminder of how beautiful the game is without VAR.

Everton fans just screech at anything

Must be as Facebook gone quiet with all the 2 team wankers

That was a red all day. What's the point in VAR

This Patterson lad looks decent 

VAR had an absolute shocker across the board today.

Apparently Newcastle hard done by after the ref reviewed it 

Don't think I've seen a ref stick by their decision after being told to review 

West Ham a shocker too. Everton should feel aggrieved also.

2300 Plymouth fans at Derby - great effort 👏

Seen a ref stick with his original decision once, but can't remember who it was nor what game.

A bad idea, badly implemented & decides multiple matches every week.

Once it goes to VAR the very least they should do is get it fckg right.

If it takes 5 minutes and 20 angles then the original principles of "clear and obvious errors" are not being adhered to. It needs scrapping until they work out how to use it.

All correct.

It took them 5 minutes to decide about a penalty in the Forest game today. Utterly ridiculous.

We need at least to be hearing what is being said.

Feels like they're making a lot more mistakes with var this season than last

Is chief wanker Riley still in charge of the wankers

Watching motd and the ref did just that with the forest penalty 

VAR horseshit today.

West Ham & Newcastle hard done to. 

Just seen the disallowed West Ham goal. Very harsh, great job by the chelsea keeper getting that chalked off.

VAR is a subjective tool based on another 3 blokes opinions and it’s why it will never work for me.

Goal line is objective and sits with the ref and is instant. Works.

VAR is for the arm chair fans and the tv drama.

The principle of VAR is getting more decisions right so it is sound the implementation is terrible.

On a slightly separate note although involving a VAR decision Richarladson ( however it is spelt) was booking for celebrating a goal today by removing his shirt. The goal was disallowed by VAR. Seems harsh but he is a cunt.

Have to disagree on the principle as I think it’s effectively having additional refs who clearly have different opinions deeming it a subjective issue and not black or white which is only what technology should be used for.

I do agree if it was executed better they’d be less anger too it. Problem is while it’s different people with different opinions I’m not sure how it improves. 8 of us watching Everton v Liverpool before hand. 4 said onside and 4 offside. Needs to be one blokes decision.

The Richarlison booking standing is complete bollocks once the goal was chalked off.

There's a rule saying players shouldn't remove their shirts. A booking is issued to those who do.

He removed his shirt.

So he gets booked.

I hear you but he removed his shirt as they’d given a goal. It wouldn’t of happened if they hadn’t given the goal. Once that reversed all after should be expunged similarly to any passage of play after a ‘corrected’ decision would be.

Mate, your points above relate to the implementation not the principle. The problem is the VAR official has become god, once they go to monitor call has been made. It should be other way round only cast iron mistakes are corrected. 
Offside, you an onfield call and only if there is clear evidence is it over ruled. Just like umpires call in cricket, so you basically build in an agreed margin and this is because the moment the ball is delivered is not  set to the millisecond. At the moment they have done this but the margin I think is always in favour of attacker as in the United Liverpool game. 
West Ham goal yesterday and Newcastle goal both stand. The problem is grey areas being challenged which is a joke.
