Don’t like County, but I feel a bit for them tonight. Ref cost them big time! Apparently Flynn not happy with things behind the scenes at the club, so he could also be on his way. Massive loss for County if that happens.
As for Morecambe, I’ll be very surprised if they stay up. They look a pub side and judging by the size of their keeper, he looks like he spends a lot of time in one.

Does this not show var is needed in playoff games? Yes its not used rest season so why should it be in playoffs ?....... well what if yesterdays decisions was in championship final? The consequences are astronomical plus devastating for a clubs fans ... sort out offside rule and var will be as perfect as it could be having already sorted out handball rule ..... and this from someone who doesnt particularly like var as its breeding cheats and making the game a non contact sport...

One of the main reasons VAR isn't used lower down is the cost and logistics of doing so

However, Wembley is made for VAR and on such an important day, it should be used and the two Newport County decisions are proof of its worth

County now resigned to another season in League 2 after losing in rather dubious circumstances...

Another addition to the EFL anti-Welsh agenda. VAR is not the answer, better referees is.

Better referees have made the same or bigger mistakes than madeley plenty of times so what's the answer?

Chris to have var at least in the finals is minimal cost.... like said can u imagine yesterday decisions in championship final? More at stake than wrong decision making..
