Well, you had the opportunity to point to examples of improvement which had taken place because of your "forensic examination" but failed once again to do so.

You therefore presumably concur that they are either going through the motions or not doing it at all.

"Forensic" appraisal of a referee's match performance is all to do with maintaining the high standards set and I can assure you that they are carried out after every game.NOT forgetting the 'Training camps' every 2 months.

I have to say that when "Diving panel" is mentioned without mention of players or the need for such a panel then arguments lose credibilty.And of course the 3 person panel views the footage independently and there has to be a UNANIMOUS decision which recognises the fact there could be differing viewpoints despite seeing the incident numerous times with 'Slow-Mo'.A referee only gets one chance of viewing the incident in real time.

Apropos VAR, it has been recognised worldwide that referees cannot see everything from every angle, hence it's introduction. Clearly some believe that referees should be able to do so.Yet another argument short of any credibility.

Anyway time to go to bed now so Goodnight to one and all.

You accuse me of not bringing facts and then expect me to treat "I can assure you" as though it were evidence?

You must have worked in a Government Department's policy letter-writing team for years and years because that's the only place I can think of where that counts as logic.

As for "the high standards set" - ROTFL.
