Well you know how some things are considered features not bugs…

If all other sports and leagues that use it are any guideline, it will get better with time, to a point where we wonder what life was like without it.

These two, more than the review system.

The EPL has integrity issues, they flow into the umpiring.

I thought it would be tight between four or even six clubs at the start of the season, I’ve seen nothing to make me change my mind. Spuds will come back at us as well. Every club in the top six have all drawn closer to City.

Pretty certain that after applying this for 20 years and progressively being successful at it, unfortunately that will continue.

Generally, Postecoglou’s sides don’t do that well at all at the start until the system gets understood, but that hasn’t happened here which is even more worrying. The main things stopping it are injuries and silly on field decisions by players. It seems that the higher quality of player makes the system even more effective.

I’ve been watching him since his Roar days. I’m pretty confident his system will bear fruit for them.

Yeah I’d agree with this from my perspective.

Fun fact: rugby’s review system was shit too when it started out.

They got there through years of criticism and introducing transparency.

The same needs to happen here. Streamline the process, mic everyone up properly, have steps that are followed, make sure every ground is at the same, highest standard, make sure we see and hear it.

Even then it’s still only as good as the people.

The only thing that could stop it is mass walkout of both players and audience.

The only other thing people can do, personally, is not watch the thing.
