Every game is now subject to VAR, apparently due to UEFA rules. I cant believe the League has the technology or the expertise to this in eight games every week. Even the Premier League cant do it properly.Wed Sep 16, 2026 12:18 pm

Apart from that it was an excellent game and the passing by Barry was BBM standard. Unfortunately the effect was the same. Points dropped

It was farcical last night. I have no idea if the penalty call was correct but no one in the ground called it apart from the VAR guy. Almost like he wanted to use it !Additionally i was right in line with the player who scored Ammanfords first goal, the linesman was about ten yards behind and it seemed clearly offside. The referee seemed confused as well and unsure as to what was going on as the linesman didn't raide his flag, They may have made the right call but to me it seemed a bit random and if they dont have to use it it seems they are doing it just to seem modern.
