@Craig-vaulks Me too. The mighty Tractor Boys have flourished under McKenna and new American owners. Long may it continue. My worry is that teams will be waving big cheques in his face to tempt elsewhere.

@Martin been impressed how well ipswich have done so far. Sunderland didn't get off to the best of starts but jack clarke has been very impressive will surprised if some prem bids don't come in for him. Looking like leicester will be the team to catch this season.

For me it's like they looked at what other sports are doing (well in most cases) then said nah we won't bother with that.
I like the NFL way of it, watching it for years helps as well so I understand it. I like that a coach can challenge too.
I'm with you @David-Milligan, nobody can make a decision in that environment!!
How are they supposed to make a rational decision in that noise.
It's also crazy how well paid they are and it actually sounds like it's a bunch of mates shouting outside KFC!

@Martin true, but it would slow it down even more. I like the idea of having fewer people involved and I think you're right that the ref should be able to access the replays and decide themselves without 20 other people chattering in their ear.
Even being able to see the side on footage on a screen without lines would be fine. Benefit of doubt to the attacking team - if it looks onside at first glance then goal stands.

@David-Milligan game is already being slowed down, ref just gets a quick message to check monitor after goal is scored for offside, can chat to VAR team to make sure they get it right and agree. Put it this way if the ref watches that offside incident, no way is he not giving the goal. Leaving it to some numpties in a room miles away is terrible for the game.
