       Give over. If you think that's a foul, there's no hope.

       Simply ridiculous. Missed red card for James and Antonio. Then
       that rubbish from Gillett and Madley. Did they seriously think
       that’s a foul?

       I have recently endeavoured to defend our referees but the
       decision to disallow that goal was " as good as useless ".
       Utterly dreadful. Why on earth Gillett got involved I cannot
       imagine and what Madley thought he saw as a foul beggars the
       imagination. He needs a bit of coaching from Michael Oliver in
       believing in and standing by your decisions.

       Bowen at all, so how Jarred Gillett has seen that there was
       contact is extremely mystifying. What is even more mystifying is
       that Andy Madley, a very competent and decent referee didn’t
       stick with his original call and give the goal.

       limit of 60 seconds from when the VAR is called for, and then
       the on field referee should consider his verdict. If 60 seconds
       elapses, the on field decision should stand. Simple.

       VAR isn't really a new thing any more. It's been around in some
       parts of the world for more than 5 years now. I don't think
       there are going to be any major changes to VAR now for at least
       the next decade or two. I am sure things will evolve like with
       offside and hopefully better communication but I don't think
       they're going to rip up the fundamentals and restart now.
       There seem to be new leagues/competitions continuing to start
       using it so I think we can safely say there's even less chance
       it gets binned.
