Re: Ref watch on Sky

Could the on field referee have decided on Friday to ignore what we were told by the stadium screen to be VAR’s decision - no foul? Could he have demanded to view the monitor if he so wished before going against VARs decision? Does anyone know?

Re: TRAFFORD

Why oh why are we letting the VAR make the decision? The screen actually says ‘VAR decision no foul’. We have to give control back to the referee. Tell him to go to monitor and decide.

For penalty and potential red card outcomes, I’d like to see referees given the option to sometimes hold their decision whilst they review the pitch side monitor.

An idea. We all adopt a mindset as follows: 1. On paper expect no points from all 20 games with teams expected now to be top ten. 2.
