@Brefugee Agree re: VAR. Especially point 2 when you are looking for blurred, miniscule body parts that may or may not be breaching the calibrated line.
I have never understood everyone crowding the ref and getting in his face. How many times has a referee's decision been overturned because a player got in his face and complained? It's just not going to happen. I think it's hard to solve. I'm not sure going 'through the captain only' will work, as it will slow the game down eg: If I'm in a defensive position and I've just a hand ball that linesman has missed, I am not going to trek upfield to report to my captain but I might want to tell the ref. I wonder if there could be a rule - a bit like in tennis - where each team has one opportunity per match to request a VAR check? I'm not sure...
Thomas Frank then! As I mentioned upthread - met him a few times personally and he is so calm, measured and likeable. I want him to do well and he has proven himself flexible and able to work with some limitations, but unless Levy accepts that winning the Prem costs money, we will forever be finishing top five (on a good day) no matter who our manager is.
