Roy Keane on VAR. Nothing is a foul, everybody just needs to get up and shake it off.

Howard Webb - “VAR shouldn’t re-referee the game”

I genuinely hate this approach to VAR. We shouldn’t have a system where the video room can see that an on-field decision is wrong, but allow it to stand just because they think it was a reasonable mistake for the ref to make.

VAR should be a second set of eyes - if they see anything that the referee has not, they should tell him what he’s missed. It should be a collaborative process that is used to get the best decision.

At the very least, they should be telling him “here’s what we think based on the angles we’ve looked at, you should go to the monitor to check if you agree”.

Well those players definitely won’t be involved in the game, so I guess that’s something…
