Mike Riley stepping down as managing director of PGMOL this season so I presume it will be his final season

Might be going before the new season, it's not clear, but he's being replaced by a chief operating officer and a chief refereeing officer.

Sooner the better for me. He could not have taken the standard of refereeing any further back.

Chief Refereeing Officer of Northern Ireland, England and Scotland, or CRONIES for short, seems very apt in this particular field.

Seems your right

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sport ... ption.html

Its permanently installed, so games held at Turf Moor could have it, not sure who pays for it though.

I suppose it’ll be a baby version, like the one we used in the FA Cup that time, when there was all the kerfuffle over that penalty we won. I can’t remember who it was against…

To be replaced by Kevin Friend, no doubt.

That was the full VAR system we used in the FA Cup. This, if introduced, would be a cut down version without the offsides.

It wasn’t as ‘full’ as what we used in the Premier League, I seem to remember it being quite basic compared to when we had it fully installed. My memory plays tricks now. I might be getting muddled up on when we started using it.

Anyway, I hope it doesn’t come to the Championship.

you can't have VAR in only a handful of grounds, it's either all or nothing

They do in the FA Cup. It doesn’t matter because it’s the same for both teams… so they say

It should be, but the cup competitions have had different rules, depending on whether the ground is var installed or not.

It's not right, but then again, if we didn't have var in the PL we'd have stopped up last season!

When we've played with VAR in games we have often got shafted by its use against us

The most recent story I read on that suggested it was possible for 23/24, not the upcoming season.

They were definitely looking at introducing it for this season not too long ago but that's good news if it's been put back.
