To be fair the contentious corner one could have got us a draw in Belgium recently. At 3-3 Belgium were awarded a corner which replays clearly show should have been a goal kick.

Belgium subsequently scored from the passage of play following the corner to win the game 4-3.

I can understand that, but if it means yet another five minute delay while the video refs debate whether the ball brushed the defenders toe or not then no thanks.

Totally agree Joe. Being a fan of a "lowly" club VAR only impacts me when I go to the internationals. That particular Belgium v Wales game recently from memory had something like eight minutes "injury time" in each half as every goal / penalty etc seemed to be checked. It's not for me personally.

Very sad news about Joey Jones. Died today aged 70. Far too young.
I loved him as a player as did a lot of Chelsea fans (Also Liverpool and Wrexham fans). Wore his heart on his sleeve when he played. Wasn't afraid to get stuck in and his fist pump was legendary. My mum loved him as he was Welsh and always wanted him to sign for Palace.

The Welsh Premier League clubs are having to install VAR at their grounds for the coming season. It will apparently be a "Cut down" version, whatever that means.

Luckily my team are still one league away from the top division Joe.

As a supporter from the 60s I clearly remember the famous banner (we had just beaten a French team, a Swiss team and were about to play the German team) and the banner read
Joey ate the frogs legs
Then he made the Swiss roll
Now he's munchen Gladbach.
