On-field referee Josh Smith has done a handful of Premier League games with VAR, but none for the past 18 months or so.
Should the Football League...
be using referees of the more recent record of using VAR, Joby.
There's a lot of talk about the fact that VAR is even involved in the playoff finals.
But then I look back at the moment during Coventry Luton where Joe Taylor scores and it's a handball and there's issues there.
It has been okay and I'm not a fan of it, but it's done its job.
Yeah, listen, overall, do I want to see VAR used across the EFL?
No.
It's a much better experience covering games, watching games and the emotional feeling you get from football without it.
So I wouldn't want it in for the finals.
I do think it's a different conversation.
I know there might be some people out there going, well, hang on a minute, why don't you want it in the regular season?
I just feel at Wembley, you know, having been there as a player, you know, covering the games now, there is so much at stake.
And I'm with you.
We've been there when there's been these huge calls, things that you don't see in real time.
It's interesting.
I was on with Michael Scabala and he wasn't a fan of it.
He's...
Kind of along the opinion, if you don't have it in the league, you shouldn't really then just bring it into a final.
Would you want to be on the end of a wrong decision?
