the two paths are potentially so contrasting for the winners and runners up in our group (in favour of the runners up) that I could almost imagine both teams actively wanting to lose. I'm sure that by Thursday many twists and turns will have happened but it's an intriguing idea Edited by Ginger Pubic Wig (25 Jun 2018 6.43pm) If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

The VAR World Cup was only occasionally interrupted by football in tonights game. I am afraid that all the technicalities of VAR could not prevent an incomprehensibly stupid decision to award Iran a pen late on. The poor ref how he made it to the end of the game I don't know - he had so many people haranging him on the pitch and in his ear and the players at their cheating worst. If he did get a grip and impose some discipline I expect he would only get more interruptions from Moscow control.

I don't think VAR referral system is the best. This is what I'd do: Each team gets 3 appeals. An upheld appeal and you maintain your 3. A rejected appeal and you lose one. When and if you have no appeals left, you can still appeal, but the appealing player gets booked and sin-binned for 15 minutes if it's not upheld. Any waving around of arms, arguing with the ref, or signaling of discontent constitutes an appeal. In other words: shut the f*** up and play.

However, HCs/Managers aren't allowed to challenge in the last five minutes of a half. MB allows the managers one or two a game and they preserve the challenge if they are correct. However, there still has to be a provision tha allows the VAR officials to communicate what is called in the NFL a "booth" review. Divorced...And LOVING it! VJRAM Rev.

Ban any form of appealing. Period. Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)
