Huh?
It’s pretty much as close to conclusive as you can get?
Compared to the arts and crafts style technology currently in the PL?
Still haven't met anybody who actually wants or likes VAR. I refuse to engage with red shirt plastics so no idea what they think.
At this point it would take a pretty good argument to convince me it isn't there to aid in match fixing in order to protect the product/ensure key results aren't left up to the players.

Everyone thought the refs were bent pre-VAR so no change there
One of the biggest steps they could take is making the whole thing transparent and sticking microphones on everyone
The recent comments and matey culture of the officials has just thrown petrol on all the conspiracies
This made front page BBC. Hope he gets slayed.
...and THAT is why VAR must go. It's utterly corrupt.

Mike Dean on the same podcast, about VAR again, "I used to get in the car on a Friday and was dreading Saturday. I was thinking, 'I hope nothing happens'. I used to be petrified sitting in the chair."
The job was clearly way beyond his abilities. I wonder how many more there are, just like him.

Does I get rid of the corruption though if the same people are officiating under no scrutiny?
No it doesn't, but we get the proper, intense drama & emotion of football back and what do we lose... nothing.
We've lost a few times historically because of decisions going against us. It's the implementation not the concept.
We were also dreading him turning up so at least we have that in common.
...and we've benefitted from a fair few crap decisions too, which proves it's just not fit for purpose. The way it sucks the life out of the game outweighs any marginal benefits - and one day, in the not too distant future, somebody will decide that's the case, it will all change again and someone will get a pay rise/promotion.
Get AI involved instead of VAR
They ALL feared Fergie.... Many of them fear the likes of Old Trafford, Anfield etc..... Many of them fear the big occasion......Many of them feared bursting the Lester fairytale bubble.
He's also contracting himself......
He claims he "missed" the incident and then says he chose not to address it.
2 diff. things entirely.
That's how VAR is supposed to work.
It's amazing what happens when you don't hire dribbling gibbons.
