They should stick var where the sun don’t shine and stop spoiling the game

And your still talking about it . Var will destroy the fun of talking about the game after the game and you will have no controversy to talk about . Yeah fun that hey 😳 1966 did the ball cross the line ?
I for one will not watch football with var
Not a fan of VAR at all, but linesmen keeping their flags down and letting technology make the decisions can only be a good thing.As Collina's said in his interview yesterday, if a lino sticks his flag up and he gets it wrong, there's no way to rescind that. By keeping it down and allowing play to continue, you can review it after to correct something if there's been an error.I'm not sure a tight offside call classes in the 'clear and obvious error' terminology, but there you go!
I saw the list of officials announced for the opening game. There are now NINE officials including the VAR crew. A referee, two assistants, fourth official, fifth official (in case one of the assistants is injured) and four on VAR (all in full referee kit).Apparently there is a main VAR, who actually makes the decisions, plus three assistants. One assistant watches live play while the VAR is reviewing an incident, another watches offsides only and there is a reserve - presumably in case one of the others pulls a muscle watching the screen! Reminds me of one of those jokes about how many people it takes to change a light bulb.I don't like to hold Rugby Union up as an example but they seem to manage fine with one TMO.
“All in full referee kit”.What difference would it make if they were just in, say, shorts, flip flops and tee shirts?

Proper workers - none of this cas, sofa sitting, chill out game of pinball, time out, new fangled sloppiness
They are apparently wearing full referee uniform whilst sat in a studio in Moscow - be like me wearing a full England kit whilst watching the game....... bonkers

Controversial take here - if you are over 16 and wearing any part of a replica kit away from playing on a football pitch, questions need to be asked. Potentially by the police.
