Re: Referee’s- are they getting worse?

Mike Dean just supported us, as ever, on Soccer Saturday - not a handball. Dawson and Merson disagree. And that is the problem with VAR in a nutshell. The expectation is that it would mean every decision would be correct. But so often, what is correct, is highly subjective. Even with this decision,...
