    I'm all for it, there's no way any of the other play off teams have had more decisions go against them than us. Granted, we've been pretty lucky with a few this season too, but I reckon over the course of the season, we'd be another 6 or 9 points better off with VAR.

    Can’t see it happening for the semis. Can see it being likely for the final though.

    If they had VAR in the game against us at their ground Ivan Toney would have been sent off.

    He looks like William Regal from wrestling. I’d need VAR to tell them apart.

    He's obviously terrified of us. Not without good reason.

    I know a lot of people disagree but I think it’s excellent for offside, in principle. Offside is a binary decision, you’re either off or you’re on. Perfect for a computer to make that decision.

    however

    the technology isn’t quick enough or good enough yet hence why it takes minutes to make a decision sometimes rather than seconds. I would also change the rule to clear daylight so it benefits the attackers. This would probably also make the tech easier.

    it’s not easy for a human to make offside decisions accurately - it’s incredible that linesmen are actually as accurate as they are - it’s physically impossible to be looking in two places at once

    Is Thomas Frank trying to use mind games already to try and get inside the heads of match officials?

    I didnt know a championship manager had such power and influence to change the rules.
