If we're talking about launching stuff via rubber bands, some form of sweeties might do the trick. Chocolate covered nuts/raisins?

You can buy the ammo from Sainsbury's, just round the corner from the stadium - £1.35 a packet, which is quite a bit more than Aldi (89p) and actually not quite as nice, but they're not for eating so it doesn't really matter.
To be fair, people could use the sweeties of their choice - something a bit less melty might be good.
You could dispense with the need for a launching device entirely if you bought a few boxes of Rakusens flatbread .
The individual crackers could be hand-launched frisbee-style in the direction of the
Matz officials .
It would put a cultural spin on things .

Some updates...
The 2023-24 Premier League season ended with Wolves triggering a vote to scrap the use of video assistant referees after a season of acrimony around the standard of refereeing and impact of technology on football.
Wolves lost the vote 19-1 but the Premier League promised to improve VAR.
As VAR enters its sixth season in the top flight, the Premier League says fans can expect quicker decisions, fewer interventions, more emphasis on backing the referee's judgement - plus "near-live" explanations of VAR calls on social media platform X.
BBC Sport outlines the key talking points and changes, following briefings with the Premier League and referees' chief Howard Webb this week.
Really is an interesting read...

So, this means that you get pings every single game, over a weekend that's 10 games x the number of VAR involvements at each game.
Only really works if the alerts you get are only the ones that concern the game you are watching. I don't want to get a post for a game I'm not even watching.
I'll give it a go but expecting this to be annoying.
Offside decisions to be made by iphone tracking data in the Prem this year!

The English Premier League Will Ditch Its Hated VAR Offside Tech for a Fleet of iPhones
Later this season, the UK’s top soccer division will replace its controversial VAR offside-detection system in favor of a phalanx of Apple’s smartphones.

Dermot defending the refs and VAR.
Just bin him off. There is no point in him if he's going to come on TV and just lie for his mates.
That's a red card for a high challenge in Rugby.
i can't stand him. He encapsulates everything that's wrong with refs and VAR.
Agree.
They are boys club who want to decide every year how they want to interpret the laws instead of looking for cast iron ways to make them understandable and transparent for everyone.
Dermot has just gone on that show to control the narrative.
Probably a bit of “ Coin coin coin “ involved as well IMO .
But you may be right, he could be doing it pro bono in order to
“ control the narrative “ …
I reckon we might both be right FWIW …
Reckon he's getting paid for sure but also he was the chosen one to do the show instead of someone less politically "sensitive".
Jesus, that is such an awful take.
If this is what the other refs think it’s no wonder the standards are so bad in the uk.
Blokes a fucking wanker
Who on earth think it’s a good idea to pay these fools for their opinion
Still an idiotic blind cunt then, Dermot?
