(Scene: A surreal football match with players and officials in absurd costumes.)

Linesman: "Everything seems rather jolly, both chaps holding, having a bit of a tea break, and... ah, yes, let's not forget the waiting, and more waiting... Oh, hang on, coming back for the offside, old chum."

VAR: "Just a little dabble with the offside, bit of a delay, another delay. Could we kindly request the kick point, if you please? Kick point, pretty please?"

Referee: "Absolutely, no problem at all, matey."

Replay Operator: "So, here we are, just getting ourselves into a rather snug angle."

VAR: "Yes, splendid. Prepare a 2D line for frame two after that one, and that's perfectly fine. A 2D line on the left boot, if you will."

Replay Operator: "Allow me to perform a quick pirouette to switch angles."

VAR: "Ah, yes, I believe that's Mr. Romero?"

Replay Operator: "Indeed, it may be this angle that tickles your fancy? Content with this perspective?"

VAR: "Indeed."

Replay Operator: "Let's slap a 2D line on that boot, shall we?"

VAR: "Absolutely, a 2D line on the boot."

Replay Operator: "Very well, then."

VAR: "Checks completed, checks completed. All's in order, perfecto."

Linesman: "Carry on with the playing!"

Referee: "Thank you kindly, mate."

VAR: "Cheers, old bean."

Referee: "Well done, chaps, a jolly good process."

Replay Operator: "Hold the phone, or rather, the football! The on-field decision was offside. Does this tickle your fancy?"

Assistant VAR: "Indeed."

Replay Operator: "And what say you?"

Assistant VAR: "Oh, dash it all, that's wrong, Daz."

VAR: "What?"

Replay Operator: "The on-field decision was offside, you see. Do you concur with this image? It appears to be onside. The image we've handed over suggests it's onside."

Assistant VAR: "He's given it a whirl, but he's strayed offside."

VAR: "Oh, bother."

Replay Operator: "Hold your horses, delay, delay. Oli from PGMOL Hub Ops says to delay the game. Oli insists we delay."

VAR: "Pardon?"

Replay Operator: "Oli has phoned in and said, 'Hold your horses.' The decision is onside."

VAR: "Can't do a thing about it."

Replay Operator: "Oli insists, delay, stop the game."

VAR: "They've already resumed play. Nothing can be done, nothing at all."

Assistant VAR: "Yes, they're back at it."

VAR: "I'm powerless. Absolutely helpless. Blast it all."
 
Bunch of useless cnuts. You would think that they would have to use agreed, standard, terminology, eg Goal Stands, Decision is OFFside, Decision is HANDBALL etc, rather than 'all's good pal'.
 
Gotta laugh when one of the key outcomes from pgmol (on sky sports news):

The VAR will confirm the outcome of check with assistant VAR before confirming final decision.

Good idea that 🙄
 
It is not the matey language that is the problem, it is the lack of clarity in what question is being asking. Rugby Union, Rugby League and Cricket has this right, the PL are totally inept.

The ref also lack courage - should have stopped the game 30 sec later once realised the error was made, spoken to both managers and told them the situation. Goal should be awarded and a mike handed to the ref to explain over the tannoy what the mistake was and that the original decision has now been corrected. Sure it would have been a breach of protocol / rules but would have been the right thing to do which makes it impossible to argue against.

And the twat who didn’t have a clue what the fuck was going on is the match official for tonight’s game. I hope he gets the reception he deserves from all supporters in the ground, of both teams. Inept or corrupt, he shouldn’t be reffing any fucking matches.

Which would set a dangerous precedent
