      I get that everyone is different and if someone likes something then sound but not for me personally ruggers
      An absolute boring monumental waste of time, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.
      If it was a choice of watching a game of rugby or sitting in a dark room for the same amount of time then the dark room wins hands down

      Rugby? It's the ultimate Victorian throwback for the upper classes - showing off Imperial macho strength while servicing your repressed homosexuality at the same time.

      Ok I jest! But broadly, I agree. I've given rugby a watch over many years and given it many chances but these days I'm absolutely convinced that it's not worth it. Brilliant atmospheres and all that but a very 2D sport.

      Same here although I do prefer the greater details of Union over League.

      Test Cricket is something I don’t get at all.
      5 days and still getting a draw! Americans may have a point.

      Technically both major decisions in the final were 100% correct. Although the first one is currently beyond the remit of VAR, the angle behind Griezmann shows a foul committed, so a free kick was given.

      The penalty appeal shows a movement by the hand towards the ball. We've seen those calls given without VAR, (e.g. Roma got a similiar penalty against Klavan a few weeks ago) It's one of those calls  that if it's for you, you think it's obvious, and if it's against you, you think it's outrageous. But the ref now gets more than one look at an incident so they can make an informed decision, and most will give a handball in that instance.

      I'm sure we will have the ref and room communication broadcast in the next tournament, during a review. It won't change the final decision, but it will change the nature of the debate and help  put the conspiracy theories to bed. There's no reason why it can't be done right now, so I'm sure when the will is there, it will be done.

      As I expected, it has been widely welcomed by the fans and press.
      We've been spoiled by it's use and it's accuracy during the tournament, and many of the sceptics have been won over, during the tournament. Now it's back to the bad old days of one look refereeing for the coming season, that allows teams such as Roma to win penalties such as the above, with no opportunity to reconsider them or put them right. But one thing we know is that VAR is on the way to becoming the norm, and it'll be back putting wrong decisions right again, soon enough.

      1st week of premier league action there will be a game altering decision, screwing a team out of points right from game 1 that VAR would have prevented.

      It's a fairly safe bet tbh. FIFA research says there's a major decision wrong, every 3 games. That means there will be at least 3 such wrong calls made on the first weekend, that we can't do anything about. That equates to a minimum of 114 such injustices over the season. With so much at stake up and down the league, that level of incompetence at this level, is outrageous, when it doesn't have to happen.

      But that is what was voted through last April.

      Last season:

      Penalties given for handball in EPL: 6 from 380 games
      Penalties given for handball in WC: 5 from 64 games

      What cheaters and conmen can get away with in the EPL, they couldn't at the WC, with Big Brother in the stands watching their antics. But what British refs consider handball and other refs consider as handball, are obviously different things.

      So expect outrage, chaos, and blame over wrong refereeing decisions to resume from this weekend.

      VAR resumes in the League Cup this week, with 8 teams lucky enough to know that the ref has more than one look at an incident if necessary, which could keep them in it or kick them out.

      Embarrassed by the success of it at the World Cup, and embarrassed again by it's successful implementation in their major national leagues, UEFA are reviewing their rash decision not to bring it in for this year's European Cup, and now considering using it from the quarter finals of this year's competition on.

      In that case, last year's final was the last final where you can get away with stuff you shouldn't get away with. A year too late for us maybe, but better late than never.

      In Serie A, one of the leagues with the foresight to implement the refereeing revolution, a player was spotted spitting at an opponent, out of sight of the ref. Not really the smartest thing to do though with VAR around though. The ref was duly alerted to the incident, so he could apply the automatic punishment for the offence. That's why VAR is in place, cleaning the crap out of our game. Literally in that case.

      In the EPL however, you can still get away with such offences, on the day at least, if the ref doesn't see it at the time.

      Just a reminder lads, that VAR is in operation in tonight's game, to see that justice is done. So all major decisions made on the field, are provisional until play resumes.
