    VAR at the World Cup

    So FIFA have decided to use VAR at the World Cup Finals. It made me think how VAR could have changed our season in recent weeks.

    The decision against Jerome against Bristol, Ana's offside winner at Millwall, QPR'S push on Johnson for their late equaliser and Huddlestone's sending off at the weekend, all spring to mind. Would it have been worth the delays, to get the right decisions?

    Superficially we’d have six more points but still, I think, be fifth. The effect on confidence is, I suppose, unquantifiable but we all know how important that is in sport, so who knows how many more points might have been gathered?
    I feel that using technology to get the correct decision is a good thing but I guess it’ll lead to lots of different sorts of rows at the World Cup...not least...’he should have referred that’.
    Harking back to the Jerome dive/over elaboration, I thought the booking was absurd at the time...haven’t changed my mind and there have been many, many examples of top flight players doing exactly the same thing and benefitting since.

    Passed the FA ref's exam as part of the FA Level 2 coaching course and also the KNVB ref's course. IMO the ref should have given us 2 penalties that game. Minutes before the one everybody talks about, Jerome was wrestled to the floor inside the box. That too was a penalty. Jerome's yellow? I haven't seen anywhere the reason it was given but it might have been for simulation as he did embellish his fall but I would have given it for unsporting behaviour and, yes, I would have given it and do give them for that.
