No way is that true. Amorim would have resigned if that was the case.

Best solution is to stop letting bald fat middle aged men become REFS. Love to see some retired lower league players being trained as REFS it shouldn't be that difficult. Knowing the rules but not the game has brought us the worst bunch in a generation

Welkom baas indeed... 

I don’t know how many times I have said that the PGMOL are the real problem and NOT the VAR system, hence the ppl using it and how ??

In the Investec European Rugby Union Competition they bring in referees from Europe, usually French, but that’s for another debate, the point I’m making is the use of Referees from outside of the UK, IE; Champagne League refs to work in the Premier League and our own Refs going the other way so that can learn and come into line with the rest of Europe,

The PGMOL have far too much sway in the VAR box, and therefore too much influence altogether, also the interpretation of one Ref will differ from another, in certain circumstances/incidents, in a word there is far too much/ many inconsistencies,

VAR is here to stay, unless of course 14 or more clubs veto it altogether, which I doubt would happen, but it does need to be realigned properly to ensure it works as it’s designed to and not be implemented by the PGMOL to suit their agenda’s, ie; Refs scratching each others back’s !!

Conversations between the onfield Ref and VAR should be audible, not only on your tv at home but in the Stadia on the day, in American football you can clearly hear the Ref/line judge, so why not in our own domestic game, if the tech is there use it ??

The questions that really need to be answered is why not, we have goal line tech in use, so why aren’t they using everything there is tech wise to ensure everything is covered, anything that assists the referee in this ever evolving game has to be used, ppl will say if we did use everything tech wise at our disposal we may as well get rid of refs altogether, I dunno about that but we certainly don’t use as much as we can at the moment and that’s not getting the job done properly is it ??
