    Because ‘fast-tracking’ is exactly what they need. Screw carefully figuring out the issues and designing a better system, let’s just rush a few ex-pros in because the ex-pro pundits will be appeased.

    PGMOL out of VAR is what needs to happen. All we need is automated offside and a competent VAR to tell the actual official to head to the screen for another look on questionable calls.

    Honestly, Howard Webb is a moron. He’s more interested in being liked than doing a good job.

    Last year he decided that VAR decision were going to be faster so we got faster decisions but more wrong decisions as well.

    He started this year by making a big deal out of apologising to Wolves for the Onana non-penalty. This was dumb because while it was a bad decision it make it a much bigger deal and I think the increase of managers bitching about VAR is because of it.

    Now he’s fast tracking ex-pros because ex-pros have also assumed they would be better referees despite their being zero evidence to back this up.

    He’s a disaster.
