Not sure how it works these days, but many, many, years ago there was a TV documentary about the then top flight referee David Ellerey, and before one match the camera caught him telling a linesman "when the ball goes out for a throw in I'll indicate to you which way to flag".

If VAR worked like international cricket and rugby, it would be much better. Neither sport is afraid for on field officials to be over-ridden, and the verbal exchanges are broadcast for clarity. How many red cards will have been rescinded in the Premier League by the end of the season - every one should have been corrected at the time they were issued.

Nothing wrong in principle with VAR, it's the way it is used that is the problem.

At least we know why, unlike rugby, we aren't allowed to hear what they are saying to each other. 😉

Jamie Redknapp and Darren Bent on SKY called it for the shit decision it was.

Then lost it again when the penalty was awarded to the wrong team.

When he was at Fleetwood, he came to talk to the kids at the school where my wife was teaching. He couldn't even properly tone down his language for Primary school children.

Deserved red, correctly given for a bad foul.

Isn't that what VAR is supposed to correct ?

7 reds in Sou Lei matches, all to us.

I've got the sea a couple of hundred yards away 😉

Already done on the BBC website text build up.

Everybody is abandoning him, what happened to "innocent until proven otherwise".

Has anybody any news on Wes ? Last post was nearly 4 months ago.

Surely this is about Eric the halibut, not a blue parrot.

UK fishing is having a post-Brexit bonanza... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-56932551 " The UK and Norway have failed to reach a fishing deal for this year, with the industry warning that hundreds of crew members will be left out of work. It means UK fleets will have no access to Norway's sub-Arctic waters, known for their cod catches."

Have Surrey prepared a 2 day wicket ? Still, looking at Warwickshire, we might not be the lowest scorers of the day.
