What happenes if they give the players the power? You get a limited number per game. If a player thinks he was fouled and a red card should be shown, he can call for VAR. If a player thinks an opponent has dived, he can call for VAR.

Ruin the sport with complete VAR for a season or two before the public see some shite like a challenge system as an alternative they can stomach.
Get all fucking technology out of the sport/life.
The referee in the Arsenal/Leicester game used the monitor at the side. Only one I’ve seen in England do it.
Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has now speaking to the media and has also been asked about Manchester City's European ban being overturned.
"It's a disgraceful decision because if City are not guilty of it then you are not punished with 10 million (euros)," he said.
"If you're not guilty you shouldn't have a fine. If they are guilty the decision is also a disgrace and you should be banned from the competition.
"I don't know if Manchester City are guilty or not but either way it's a disgraceful decision."
Matterface over Tyldesley? Really?
Cheaper I imagine.
What football do ITV still have? I associate them chiefly with Friday night England games vs Slovenia that I've forgotten are happening.
Tyldesley is still there as their second commentator seemingly so it's not a money thing. Or not immediately, anyway.
I have heard of Sam Matterface but couldn't tell you what he actually sounds like.
I always remember Sam Matterface as when I was a teenager, Chelsea set up an in-house radio station called 'Big Blue' that had full commentaries on every match (this must have been before rights were a thing? I don't know) and he was enlisted to be its lead incredibly biased commentator. I have no idea if he is actually a Chelsea fan or was just playing at being one for the gig, but it was always: 'Here comes the magnificent Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, with his inimitable aura of greatness, moves it out wide to Zenden...' while Kerry Dixon purred pointless 'analysis' alongside him.
I particularly remember one time we were playing Charlton (that dates it) and the stadium tannoy at the Valley announced our goalkeeper as being 'Peter Ketch', Matterface had a 15 minute rant almost in tears about how someone could be so incompetent. Evidently gone on to greater things since.
I assume that's just how all in-house commentators are.
No idea who the MUTV one is but he is dreadful, or his instructions are to be dreadful. Or both.
Villa one's the same. Been in the gig for fucking years too. Avoid.
I'm shocked Sam Matterface looks that young. I can't shift the image of Mark Pugatch whenever I hear his name.
Stewart Gardner apparently. He is terrible and Paddy Crerand, while being a legend, is no better.Originally Posted by Ian

Wigan
I really hope they don’t run out of steam the last few games. 12 points clear if you take into account admin if QPR do them a favour. Hull play Luton on Saturday too
Didn’t even know Wigan were in the championship. Did they only just go back up?
Second year back I think. Had a better turnaround than Southampton since Christmas. Best form team in the league with Brentford with absolute ease. 4-0 up after 40 mins, 12 points ahead of relegation zone and it’s still out of their hands whether they stay up because the EPL fucked them over
6-0
Make it that 7 and it’s not half time
What on earth is going on there?
Only just clocked the times on the goals.
Hull sold their two best players in January and have been in free fall. Their form is horrendous.
I hope they don't let up.
Got them @ 6/4 to be relegated a few weeks back. Let's have it.
Mauled by the pieboys.
Hate when teams take the foot off and don’t go for the double digits.
This might be the most boring and pathetic standard I’ve seen in a long time so far. Drinks break the most exciting thing to have happened
I see WBA have opened the door for Brentford.
This is how Willian plays 75% of each season minus his 6/7 purple patch. He’s absolutely dreadful. A winger who prefers running backwards
How long have you been able to watch games on LiveScore?
I think it’s just the Italian games. I noticed it the other week but no idea how long they’ve had it.
Atalanta scoring for fun again
They've got quite a number of games post the return including portugal, italy and a few others. Probably only temporary.
Aye I see the little icon beside a Portuguese one too. Handy.
With all the comedy FFP fallout at the moment, can someone explain to me how it is that the sovereign wealth clubs manage to continually outspend their more commercially viable rivals but stay within whatever the rules are? Is Ed Woodward both a blessing and a curse for United (in a Tony Blair Child Poverty sort of way) in that every time he goes out and nails another official teabag partnership, City (or whoever) can then just sign a deal on the same terms with the Abu Dhabi United Teabag Conglomerate, of course on arms-length commercially independent terms? Or is it the fact that United just don't get near to spending what they actually could if they wanted to?
Or is balancing the books all just an elaborate accountancy trick?
Man utd's revenues are huge, so they don't need to create these companies that are definitely NOT also owned by their owners. I think Man Utd also (up until recently) managed to recoup some cash through sales. There's a good thread about it all on the Swiss Ramble Twitter.
We are owned by Red Football Cayman Islands or some nonsense. The main difference is the Glazers have a limited pot of cash to 'inject' into the club via totally legit sponsorship deals and side payments to managers. I'm sure half the reason we sign duff players up for longer is amortisation and book value (so yes accountancy is a smoke and mirror thing).
My man Claude has been punted from Arsenal Fan TV.
I was looking at a video of him earlier and I say this in the nicest possible way, but he really looks like he would benefit from the sweet release of death.
If I'd heard him calling somebody "DVD" I'd have had to Google it and find out what he was even talking, let alone know it was an insult.
I don't understand it either so it must be some top tier racism.
It's related to the Chinese blokes who were selling dodgy DVDs across the late 00s in boozers in London and other cities.
Woke.
That is absolute top shelf stuff.
5 subs rule to be applied forever, it seems. Fucking stupid. The existing sub rule was fine. Here's to watching City go 3-0 up then swap half of their outfield players for the second half.
You would like to think they've just benched him until it blows over. His personal apology video is like a suicide note.
EPL better tell them to do one. Fucking bollocks.
Also 4 games a day at Shatar 2022 sounds like burnout. What a mess.
I immediately thought of the Chinese when he'd called someone DVD, but that's only because of Bubbles saying 'the Chinese made them shits' when he was selling films from Bubbles Depot. I didn't think for a second that would actually be what it's about.
Five subs is survivable for a season.
They'd better not keep the water breaks though.
They need to play stop the clock and 25 minutes each way.
Gordon Ramsay's just scored a palmer
That would be the best idea but it wouldn’t suit tv so it’ll never happen.
Nice to see us hold on to a losing position.
Are you kidding me, it would allow them to put ad breaks in left and right. Why do you think that's how all the American sports work?
