Saudi want our Refs to do their matches. Apparently the FA have given their blessing, lots of money for them. The ones that went were a 'fact finding' trip. From what I've heard, the Saudi's will pay a fee to the FA per team sent & they will also pay the team a match fee.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

They currently totally over complicate the check.

It should go like this... the ref asks 'Check to see if that was offside." The VAR tech team immediately run a replay with their lines etc. and give an immediate response. Either 'yes that was offside', or "No that was onside.'
That's it. Not rocket science. It takes the responsibility correctly away from the ref and the technology is final as it should be.
All that.....'are you happy with this' is absolute tripe woke nonsense.

These woke VAR checking officials need to be changed for decision makers who do it as above and take on the responsibility of checking the incident using the high tech available. It's called teamwork. All this making the ref come and watch a screen etc. is nonsense.
See how rugby do it. All the communications should rightly be shared with the spectators live. This way it would never be questioned.

A couple of times I've seen rugby mentioned. The TMO has not really made rugby any better. Still bull calls a lot of the time. Mainly to do with what exactly the TMO is asked to look at - or not. There have been terrible calls in this world cup - simply to speed up the game. Previously, games were taking ages with little actual playing time and the TMO rewinded every try, finding a way to disallow it. As for foul play, sometimes seen, sometimes not. Hardly a ringing endorsement. I preferred rugby without it.
The one to watch for this is Rugby League. The ref watches the big screen himself if unsure but, ultimately, they use common sense. Decisions are quick and decisive in rugby league. Football and rugby union refs clearly lack this.
The other sport is cricket. The three challenges have added to the game - not taken away. There are tactics in using the challenges and the crowd clearly sees the process. The TMO has taken from the game in rugby, and like VAR, doesn't get it any more correct in general anyway.

Red and Blue Army!

I was there that day, I’ll never forget the disbelief of it not being given, we were right in that corner the ball flew in as well

So if klippity Klopp gets his way, I definitely want that replayed

Those guidelines in full:

Q. Big 6 team

A. VAR check in their favour.

One more point

It'll be back to LiVARpool now, as it was before. The crying's been done.

Red and Blue Army!
