Where headmasters, coppers, and prison officers just did it on the weekend for a few extra bob and to get away from the wife?

I think they have to take var away from the refs. Have specialist var officials that are trained differently and report to somebody else.

More than anything else, we have seen in the last year or two that it isn't var that is the problem. It's the people operating it.

Are you referring to the lino who looked right at the horse faced c*nt as he planted his studs into Cole?s knee, then started to raise his flag to alert Riley to the clear red card, then quickly put his flag back behind his back as he realised where he was and what he was about to do and that he could t possibly go through with it?
