Quite pleased that VAR is in use for these games - particularly at ER... With Euro refs overseeing it will be interesting to see it operating at ER....
Hopefully VAR check on trip on Boyler leading to a Pen for Dylan against world cup wining goalie (what would odds on that scenario be :greengrin) Now that would make him a Hero and be an unforgettable moment
Given our luck with VAR that’s not a good thing imo.Quote:

Be even more important in away leg where big home teams have I think we all acknowledge gained advantages in reffing decisions.
Also the new season push by UEFA to stop time wasting will make for a more entertaining 200 minutes :agree:
Had it been in use against Luzern they'd have been down to 10 in 1, arguably both games.
Glad it's now in use, unless the VAR analysis caravan is parked up on Paisley Road West like it is for league matches
Both, nae doots.Quote:
