All Video Ref can get in the bin
-
In the last half hour I've seen the Cowboys have a try rubbed out for the slightest of touches after a dozen passes. And now Fulham have a goal scrubbed off for something that wasn't even a foul.
It hasn't added any fucking thing to sport at all. Games are not played frame by frame.
It's fucking rubbish.

Chef's kiss if that is an MCM reference in the thread title.
I don't think we can wind the clock back, but I can't help but agree. It's been really noticeable this season that you can't actually enjoy your team scoring as you know that there is some fuckstick doing their best to rub it out.

The NRL is appalling for it.
But I have seen some shockers in soccer which should be the easiest

Yeah not wrong, that fulham goal disallowed was a disgrace.

@mariner4life It works okay in Cricket and in Tennis, but for fast-paced invasion games it can get in the bin.

Videos Refs in Rugby only make any sense for two things.
-
If there has been deliberate violent conduct. Something like Johan Le Roux taking a bite out of Sean Fitzpatrick's ear or Jamie Joseph standing on Kyan Bracken's ankle. But these sort of incidents are rare.
-
The other one is where the ref and his assistants end up unsighted for a try and choose to go for the video replay.
Everything else slows down the game unnecessarily and undermines Law 1 where the ref is the sole arbiter of law and conduct.
We have reduced the entertainment of the game and undermined the man with the whistle by giving far too much power to the Bunker.
Put the Bunker in the bin.

The Fulham decision was a shocker. Never a foul at full speed and the defender went down like a sack of spuds. Chelsea manipulating the system. Fulham fans have every right to be furious.
Yeah, var has been disastrous in football.
The game is just re-refeered and despite all the stoppages the decisions are no more accurate. So you have traded wrong decisions + no var delays for var delays and still inaccurate decisions. Crap trade off.

The EPL in general is beginning to piss me off.

It’s disastrous everywhere. I’d be happy to see the back of it.

Even as a Chelsea fan I was bemused
