Rugby yet again showed how to use technology today when in the England semi the on field refreree gave a try but then had an honest conversation with the TMO in order to make the right decision without any concern about being found to have got the decision wrong.

That disallowed try bollocks with the scrum and the ball moving - how the fuck can they say whose hand/arm it was though? Nothing decisive there. I felt like they were looking for ways to keep NZ in the match the whole time and not let England run away and embarrass them.

It is totally fucked in football though. Because as has been said on here many times, if you give a great tool to someone who is incompetent, they'll still make the wrong decision.

Var was supposed to improve the game, unfortunately the way it is being used is only showing up how incompetent our onfield/off-field referees are. The game is being ruined by it!
One referee was bad enough in any game but to now have two is like p-ssing against the wind.
F-ck var and the incompetent refs trying to implement it!

The penalty that Brighton were awarded yesterday was unbelievable and it they are giving penalties for minimal accidental contact then they will be giving loads more it would seem. They did get one right though, which was the Hudson-Odoi dive, but Dyche then bangs on about how diving should be eradicated from the game and selects Rodriguez to start up front.

The Brighton penalty again highlights the inconsistency.   It was less clear and obvious than other appeals (even Jack at Palace was more of a foul).  Potentially, VAR can be good but when a subjective decision is made by a bloke in the studio, overriding the bloke on the field, it is not being used correctly.  Things aren't helped by Dermot Gallagher going on TV each week claiming that the right decision was made.

How did that pompous little twunt get that gig? He's being paid handsomely by Sky to represent the referees cartel and they treat him like some kind of overlord.

Dermot Gallagher will never, ever contradict a referee’s decision. He’s basically Mike Riley’s media gimp.

Will we ever get a VAR decision to go in our favour? Seems to be a weekly occurrence that we're on the end of a wrong decision. David Silva claimed he touched the ball in for their second yesterday which meant Sterling was offside and clearly impeded Heaton's vision. A shambles the whole thing. Suspend it immediately. It needs a complete review.

Quite ridiculous really that VAR has come in to rectify mistakes and it's ended up making mistakes itself.

The decision to overrule the penalty for Hudson Odoi is particularly interesting.

As the match was shown, I watched again and again and saw no contact from the player who seemed to trip him. He withdrew his leg and Odoi still went down. No penalty - dive - booking.

It was right on the very last replay they showed that I noticed a possible shove in the back by Matty Lowton. Now I can’t unsee it. You can never really tell the impact of a push - how hard they were pushed, how it affected their balance at that precise moment of contact, from a slow motion replay, but to me, now I have seen it - that IS a push - at a level I have definitely ‘seen em given’ many times.

I think that they looked at it again and again but were looking at the wrong thing!

Human error is human error no matter how many times they look at it.

It's been brought in to help referees and it does. It gives them something to hide behind.

Now instead of criticising the on field official we have to hope for the patronage of some mysterious TV viewer.

It's utter crap.

Bring back the way they did it in Russia please.
