I still think there's scope in the written rule to disallow... Or at least not over-rule as a "C&O".
Bang on about it being tactically abused though. Inevitable.

How was that not a pen for Leeds
Watching it tonight:
1. Disgraceful decision re Rashford offside - if that doesn't prove the game is corrupt, then nothing will.
2. Pep's comments after the game were just as disgraceful.
3. Enjoyed the Brighton game, but how the heck did we lose against this Scouse team?
4. Can James Ward-Prowse give Harry some tips on taking free kicks?
5. Is it a coincidence that Forest are getting some decent results since Serge joined them?
6. Why does Brennan Johnson and other players take their shirt off when they know they/re going to get booked - idiotic, IMO.
7. Ivan Toney - what a cheat!
8. Although I think he's a bit of a tool, I wouldn't say no to Martinez succeeding Hugo between the sticks.

VAR is a problem, it has costs as well as benefits, I'd the benefits don't outweigh the costs its crazy to keep it.
The clowns are the problem, not an a bunch of inanimate cameras.
Keep the cameras and sort the clowns out then.... Semantic aside; I think it's clear what I'm getting at.
The clowns are the best we have got, they haven't chosen refs to wind you up.
Costs outweigh supposed benefits... Get rid.
We need to talk about VAR.
Much as I love Brentford, VAR should have seen that their 'penalty' wasn't a penalty. The latest in a massively long line of VAR mistakes that shows no sign of improving.
VAR is NOT fit for purpose. We don't need it. It's spoiling the game. It should be returned for a full refund and we shouldn't have to pay the postage.

It actually wasn't t wanted either. One poll had it 50 /50 in the England (most were against it). Must be money for someone somewhere
Should turn var up to 11
VAR just allows another referee to have several looks at an incident - enough to make the right call. What the PL is getting is a policy driven approach to not correct bad/incorrect decisions. The PL referees are deliberately undermining it - maybe because pundits keep whining about it. But we are now going back to whining about terrible decisions again.
I don't think the PL refereeing is undermining it, they are doing the best they can. Even if they are undermining it the same outcome it costs more than it brings.
"But we are now going back to whining about terrible decisions again.". Agreed so get rid.
I liked that stuff about Dier pushing forward and leaving a back four. I don't know if he spotted it or he just presented it but it was very interesting.
