West Ham stupidity https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c88zm0y5jnpo

Haven't known it this good for over 40 years and they let the manager go 

[Uncle Mort]

WHU have gone a bit stale recently, a change is needed.

Anyway, I doubt Moyes would want to stay.

I see there's going to be a vote on continuing with VAR. My guess is that it'll be going.

They need to fix it not dump it

Easy to say.

What's wrong with "The referee is always right even when he's wrong"

They were wrong on way too many key decisions, something like 1 in 5 of them.

But this endless investigation of every key decision from every angle is bizarre and clearly at times they feel so rushed they miss key points.

VAR should be only when a team captain requests it and they have to say exactly what decision they think is wrong and like cricket and tennis they should only get a limited number per game.say 3.

three ..?

same as cricket and IIRC tennis (per set)

Or, to put it another way, right about 80% of the time. Good enough for me and, as they say, it evens out over a season.

No evidence to back that.  It's random.

True, but you would have to be a very unlucky team to have every bad decision go against you.

Interesting views from Klopp  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cqln8zddll2o

"I don't think they're [the club] voting against VAR, I think they'll vote about how it gets used, because that's definitely not right," Klopp said.

"In the way they do it, I would vote against it, because these people are not able to use it properly."
