Presumably Morris will be banned retrospectively

You'd like to think so, exactly the same as Godden

[Brighton Sky Blue]

THIS is why we need VAR.

Would be immediately reversed.

We just need more than one player to receive a retrospective ban for cheating

 

[Nuskyblue]

THIS is why we need VAR.

Would be immediately reversed.

I think the keepers bollock grazed his toe so maybe not

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Morris and luton are dirty horrible team.

 

[Flying Fokker]

Sets Luton’s game against Blackburn up nicely. Providing Sheffield lose midweek

 

[Nuskyblue]

Anyone else loving the 'as it stands' table they keep showing ?

No. They've spammed them in every game I've watched this weekend, keep popping them up despite the in game result not changing

 

[fernandopartridge]

No, we do not need it. Mistakes happen, it's part of the most successful team sport the world has ever seen.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Liking the prospect of Luton, Middlesbrough, Cov and Sunderland in the play-offs. Like the top 4 contenders for Britain's most forgotten place

I meant more for the fact that we're on it

 

[Flying Fokker]

Morris and luton are dirty horrible team.

Yes, he is a cheat. But if he scores on Saturday it will be welcome.

 

[David O'Day]

No, we do not need it. Mistakes happen, it's part of the most successful team sport the world has ever seen.

so can just cheat

bore off

Fans walking around like lost souls.

 

[Nuskyblue]

Oh. That ain't bad to be fair, I revise my position

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Fans walking around like lost souls.

Someone I know from Middlesbrough has said the area around the ground is like a real life Mad Max

 

[Otis]

And never celebrate a goal again

That wasn't a goal tonight. It was a foul that wasn't a foul.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

No, we do not need it. Mistakes happen, it's part of the most successful team sport the world has ever seen.

Mistakes are one thing, cheating another. Suppose the officials hadn't spotted the Hand of Szmodics on Saturday

 

[Otis]

No, we do not need it. Mistakes happen, it's part of the most successful team sport the world has ever seen.

It's here to stay. Best get used to it and yes, we do need it.

We just need it to be used properly.

 

[Boosh]

That wasn't a goal tonight. It was a foul that wasn't a foul.

But that still happens with VAR. I’d rather be able to celebrate properly

 

[Nuskyblue]

My take from is game is:
A. Boro look a really good side, could and should have had two or three. They have pace and are all really good on the ball, a real danger.
B. Luton are shithouses but effective. Their keeper looks a big flakey tho

 

[Otis]

But that still happens with VAR. I’d rather be able to celebrate properly

Fair enough. Each to their own, but it's here to stay anyway.

 

[fernandopartridge]

so can just cheat

bore off

VAR hasn't stopped diving David

 

[robbiethemole]

Surely Morris has to be banned for that dive, or as the EFL class it, conning the ref, worse than Goddens as least he went over a leg, Morris just tripped himself.

 

[mark82]

Good result for us. Sheffield United need to win on Wednesday to secure promotion.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Middlesbrough look by far the better side

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Once again cheating prospers do hope they get their comeuppence.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I think we'd probably struggle to beat either of them over two legs based on what I've seen of them, but we as long as we're in the game you never know what might happen.

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

We need to finish 5th, Luton whilst not technically better are fucking horrible to play against

Likewise Burnley to secure the title tomorrow.

 

[fernandopartridge]

We do need to have a bit more confidence in our own ability though, we look a good side to most other teams as well

 

[Colesy55]

Sheffield play again on Saturday remember!

 

[bigfatronssba]

Looking like Middlesbrough will have nothing to play for by the time we travel there

But if refs. punished it it would,same as time wasting book the first one and it will stop.On Saterday when all our player were subbed They should have left the field at the nearest point non of them did. The one that innoys me are shaking hand with their side on leaving the field having already been told to get a move on if this happens the player should be booked if has already been booked so be it.The oncoming player does not come onThe rules are there application isn't.

Godden did

Same as we just need referees to referee properly.

If technology is controlled by humans it'll always have human error. If a game's played by humans that make mistakes, then the officials making mistakes is what offers some excitement and unpredictability rather than it being deathly dull where you may as well ditch playing the game and just run it through the computer, stopping the we woz robbed tales of woe.

The answer is probably to increase referees' salaries so more want to do it and there's a wider pool of competent ones. We pay the players enough, we can start to reward the good officials.

And accept that mistakes happen.

I think last night was the perfect case in point for the existence of VAR. The play was stopped. That goes to VAR and it's no penalty. That was the perfect case in point how it can work and not disrupt the game at all.

And let's not pretend that goals aren't disallowed anyway and cheers for goals aren't quashed. It's not on the same level at all, but you can always find instances of where a goal is given, the fans cheer, but then after consulting with the assistant, the goal is disallowed.

A good referee on a higher salary, would still have probably given that penalty last night.

VAR is here to stay. There's too much money in the game and too much at risk not to have it. One bad decision could mean the difference of multi millions of pounds.

We just need to make it better and not so picky and not analyse everything within an inch of its life.

It's here to stay.
