Why are we the guinea pigs? It should be either all the games of that round or none of them.

VAR was in place for the England v Germany friendly recently but wasn't used at all. People have to get away from believing that VAR is a panacea - there will still be cases where 'Fact' doesn't come into it (Like ball over/not over the line) and subjective decisions are made. I don't expect it to be a panacea; I just expect it to sort out our lack of penalties & blatant fouls on Wilf which are never given; make other ref's think perhaps they have their obvious judgement of Wilf wrong.

At least we've helped end Man Us 58 TV game streak in the FA cup.

"the Merseyside derby on the BBC on the night of Friday, January 5, which was deemed too high-profile a fixture to conduct English football’s first live VAR test." Bell ends.

With the greatest of respect I really don't believe that Zaha is pre-judged by referees to the extent that their pre-judgement 'Clouds' their decision making.I really have a different view with you regarding challenges on Zaha not resulting in a whistle or card. Besides VAR is not designed to adjudicate on every single foul - it is used within agreed parameters. Let's agree to disagree as the subject matter is about VAR and NOT Zaha.The debate could easily evolve into referee's treatment of Zaha and veer away from the topic under discussion.

For the benefit of Topcat I think I read that we were getting 4000 tickets.

They might as well have just said "we better not pick a derby game, but we'll pick that one as we don't give a f*** about that derby". Maybe we can get a VAR decision on whether the turnstiles got rushed or some t*** left a door open!

You can't conduct a test in a competition where you are effectively asking just 2 teams to operate to a different set of rules to everyone else. You either have VAR in every game of that round, or none of them. And they've still chosen a high profile game, featuring two PL teams, particularly due to the piss poor way the last league tie was handled.
