Looks like it's only VAR against England never for us.
Who ever was doing that job should be banned from doing it for are games.
Fkn wound up about it even after we won.
 

Just said on BBC that FIFA will have someone watching VAR from now on to make sure mistakes like Kane's incidents aren't repeated.
Maybe next we'll have someone from the FA watching someone from UEFA watching the FIFA guy watching VAR watching the match.
 
The problem I have with VAR is it's also being used for things that are subjective -- was it a foul or not -- which are judgment calls. It should be used only for offside, foul inside or outside the box, and ball out of play over the touchline, things that are clear-cut and totally objective (well, as objective as an offside call can be). People are moaning about the Kane non-calls and they have a point -- FFS, there were four on-field officials and not one of them saw it, never mind the clowns in the VAR room -- but if the VAR room can start making those calls when the refs miss them, where does it stop? Is there going to have to be a VAR huddle after every corner and free kick into the box, because as sure as kopites lack self-awareness, there's a foul committed in almost every case. Games would take forever. And ultimately, who is in charge, the guy with the whistle or the boys in the TV room?

But who's gonna watch the FA guy?
 
Doesn't the ref have to request VAR to be used? As opposed to them just picking up on something like the foul on Kane which the ref believes he missed?

Pretty sure the VAR lids review nearly all major issues and can tell him he messed up and 'suggest' he review it on a screen.

Is right. The ref and the TV folk get a signal that they are looking at sommet. If they reckon it needs further looking at, ref stops the match in a neutral area, and takes a peek.

What has been good, is the VAR Gods seem to arrive pretty quickly at the decision to review further or not. Like late in the match just now, the commentator said "we are told that is under VAR" Match carried on, then not 15 seconds later, maybe less, said "No issues with VAR".
