VAR will only be as good as the officials in charge of it, and the laws of the game they’re asked to follow. The current crop of officials in this country are abysmal, and there are too many laws which need sorting out.

I believe we’d have had one or two more European Cups in the trophy cabinet had it been around in 2005 & 2009. But I came away from last night’s game feeling extremely deflated. I can fully understand why people are so against it when it’s used like it was last night
