    Will VAR make us better or worse?Time shall tell. Eliminating errors must surely be a good thing, on the face of it anyway. But not everybody is convinced...

    lfcway: Am I the only one already sick of VAR. Every radio station, news channel, asking so called experts, how will VAR work? Could be another complicated set of rules to grace sport.

  14. Six-game ban for Saizpublished at 19:00 Greenwich Mean Time 8 January 2018

    Leeds forward Samu Saiz has accepted his six-game ban for spitting in their FA Cup defeat by Newport and apologised for his "inexcusable" actions.

    The 26-year-old was sent off by referee Mike Dean in injury time of Sunday's third-round tie at Rodney Parade.

    The Spaniard, who will be unavailable until 20 February, has scored nine times in 26 appearances this season.

    "I give my word to all those connected to Leeds United that I will learn from this and never repeat it," he said.

    Brighton v Crystal Palace (19:45 GMT)

    Premier League survival looks to be the priority for Brighton as they make eight changes. Only Ezequiel Schelotto, Dale Stephens, Jose Izquierdo retain their places.

    There's no Wilfried Zaha or Christian Benteke in the squad for Crystal Palace, who make four changes. Damien Delaney, Patrick van Aanholt, Jairo Riedewald and Bakary Sako are the players who come in.

    Brighton XI: Krul, Schelotto, Huenemeier, Goldson, Bong, March, Stephens, Kayal, Izquierdo, Brown, Hemed.

    Crystal Palace XI: Hennessey, Fosu-Mensah, Kelly, Delaney, Schlupp, Riedewald, Cabaye, McArthur, Townsend, Van Aanholt, Sako.

    VAR will be in use at the Amex StadiumImage source, Getty Images

    VAR will destroy the game, just like the pointless January transfer window. What's next robots refereeing matches, beginning of the end.

    Andy

    It’s pointless having VAR if your rulebook is incomplete, and as long as intent and consequence are expected to be factors in a referee’s decision, incomplete is exactly how you’d have to describe it. Sort out football first, make it black and white, then introduce gadgets to slowly render referees obsolete. That’s what we all want isn’t it?

    George, Cardiff

    VAR - 1. Football is a Business now. One single bad decision can relegate a club or achieve a cup win for a side that doesn’t deserve to win...millions of pounds are at stake. 2. Children look up to these managers that like to blame everyone else for their shortfalls...I’m sure there used to be a lot more humility in the game. These children will grow up thinking it’s OK to blame everyone else for every decision they make rather than taking responsibility for their own actions. VAR will eliminate this blame culture and maybe some humility and sportsmanship might return to the game.

  19. How will referees use VAR?published at 18:55 Greenwich Mean Time 8 January 2018

    Video refImage source, Getty Images

    Former ref, and International Football Association Board technical director David Elleray: "What the referee doesn’t have the option of doing is saying is ‘I don’t know if that was a penalty or not I’ll look at the replay’.

    "We are requiring the referees to carry on refereeing as if there is no video assistant referee. If they make a clear and obvious error, they get told about it and I think most referees will welcome that."
