Reply With QuoteVAR is fine if used correctly. I don't think it should be used for offsides. If VAR is to be used for most incidents then why not do away with the ref and linesmen and govern a game with VAR from a box somewhere in the stand.

Yes or No? If VAR had been used in yesterday's game our goal would probably have been disallowed and we'd have most probably have been awarded a penalty in the last minute. Both decisions were, in my opinion, incorrect. I realise that if our goal hadn't been given the course of the game would have been different but I'm just using these incidents as examples as to whether or not we want VAR. I'm undecided.

Not for me. I prefer to accept that ref’s decisions will occasionally be incorrect. (I consider the same for cricket incidentally…I remember from my cricketing days the maxim…if in doubt, the benefit of the doubt goes to the batsmen)
The key for me is for the referees, whom video replays show made a mistake, admit it ! Too many mistakes and they drop down the packing order !

It's a no for me, though I am in favour of goal line technology, if we had had it in 2002 against Rotherham we would have been promoted before the last game of the season.

There's no doubt that goal line technology is a success. I know that it failed in the Villa v. Sheffield Utd. game but that was a one off, otherwise it has been an excellent innovation.

No.
Should baggies ever get back to premier...would hope it's gone. It has been another dagger in the heart of the game....
But I do believe that refs should up there game...and also players and managers should act more responsible on the pitch.
The drift to cheating the rules is horrible to watch, if you like fairness.
I watched a player the other day get tripped but tried to stay up on his feet. Think one of his team mates was none to happy with that.
Felt sad for the poor lad...☹️
