    They make it up as they go along mate.

    You mentioned DRS before and the big difference is there’s clear rules, protocols and procedures to follow for every one.

    Plus both the fans in the stadium and at home can hear and see the TV umpire working through the scenario step by step.

    None of that happens in football and as with saw with the offside the other day they couldn’t be bothered to draw the lines.

    Can you imagine a caught behind and the umpire doesn’t check the Snicko or Hot Spot?

    It’s like the extra time at the World Cup.

    It was perfect what they did because we finally had 90 minutes of football but it hasn’t been adopted so none of the matches are actually 90 minutes.

    Of course it felt unnatural at first but we’re genuinely losing that time.

    The fault is at levels of the game and needs to be sorted out.

    The biggest issue is doing away with the ‘Over the course of a season it balances out’ attitude to things.

    Exactly the point I made to my mate the other day.

    Also in the rugby, like DRS, they go through it between tv ref/ump and on field. Everyone can hear and see what is happening and why.

    God alone knows why they can't do the same with football.

    It's a pity a manager - perhaps via teams having their own tv analyst in real time to tell the manager - they want a review. Or via the player - Saliba or the Everton goalie could demand a review.
