Postecoglou: "Absolutely. I am not going to draw a direct correlation to Micky's injury but I was half-tempted to throw some balls out there for them to kick around. It's the reason we have warm-ups but if you're going into a game, the fact there was only 47 minutes of game time the other night in whatever it was, 110, that is not ideal for the type of athletes we have out there"

That's the disgrace right there. All this waiting around is likely harming the players.

It's not the calls that are the problem. In the Tottenham Chelsea game the decisions were all correct in the end (pretty much). It's all the waiting around that's the problem. It ruins the flow and enjoyment of the game. I don't know anyone at this point that thinks VAR has improved the game. Fans of clubs in the Championship often tell me they prefer no VAR.
