Why do people assume that VAR would be used for all decisions? For example it could be restricted to red card or goal line decisions for example. I would have thought that the whole reason it's being tested and not directly implemented is to directly ascertain questions on how positive or negative the change would be. I see no downside to testing. Yeah it could be used like that. But it won’t be Edited by Stirlingsays (10 Feb 2024 8.01pm)

A reasonable article on the subject by Martin Samuel in today's Times. Yes, it's a different game Elpis, but it's true to say that attitudes towards the ref are very different too. Samuel is making the case for blue cards to be shown for dissent, which was what I was trying to state earlier in the thread. If it deters players from trying to influence the ref it would be a good thing. I get it but thats what yellow and red cards are for . As a ref (im not one) it is in your power to send from the field of play anyone showing descent toward an official . We dont need to mess with the rules , just enforce them

Just do it and it will soon stop .The sin bin really is an awful idea for football . On top of the already mentioned problems can you imagine the uproar when players coming back on cold pull up with hamstrings popping . As if we haven't got enough problems

According to lower league refs where this has been trialed who came on talksport they were in favour and said it works well. I can see why it might work in lower leagues where a calm down could work better than sending a player off and getting people angry .Its not the laws of the game though ,if they want to make up another sport I say crack on but leave mine alone . The concussion stuff is fair enough ,anything that can be learnt from anyone to protect players is a good thing . Anyone especially those that have followed the game for as long as I have doesn't need an explanation from the ref as they would know by his hand signal on giving the decision or the lino by his flag position. The problems arise when var gets involved and nobody in the ground has a clue whats going on . Simple solution get rid of var .
