Not a problem with VAR, but with a microphone. Could've happened last season as refs and assistants have been mic'd up for years

Think you'll find it was the pack that they communicate on if the decisions need to go to var or not. Like if an offside needed to be given for example then the linesman could put his flag up.
 
Sky Sports have clearly been briefed on their coverage of VAR. Carragher's comments about teething problems and needing support it were an absolute nonsense. Whether it's the first game with it or the 5000th game with it, the start of the second half was unacceptable. Complete farce!

100%. I said the same in the WC last year. All main media coverage, especially TV pundits and commentators, didn't critisice it at all, even when it was a farce they had to pretend it was 'for the good of the game's. Kind of proves the point of how shit it is that FIFA have to ban people from criticising it

Would be very amateurish if Sky or any other media outlets weren't briefed on it, and everybody was just left guessing.
Carragher and Neville went to the VAR headquarters and met Neil Swarbrick and were talked through how the process works.
Think it's good that there's this transparency there, trying to spread information to keep football fans in the loop. Swarbrick has also done a series of interviews and appearances explaining how it will be implemented.
