And one of the things that have changed the pace of the game as well, and I don't want to talk about VAR, but in terms of it slowing down the speed of the game, allowing teams to um
to to take to take rest during a game.
It has had a huge impact and it has had a huge impact in terms of the stop start nature of football.
Go on.
I might have some of my own man.
Oh
Yeah, well I guess they're they're talking about the whole of the ball and you know if you look at it like that that some of the ball is hanging over the uh of the quadrant so they might argue it like that.
But uh yeah it's it's it's it's um it's one of those things you I you have to make your peace with.
But I would say on the I think I think the one thing and I agree with everything uh Tony and Gavin have said about VAR and you know it is it is
Significant that Howard Webb is is out there because this is, as I said, a bureaucracy.
Like, there is too much not just intervention from VAR, but there is too much prominence to the whole uh dynamic of VAR and to the too much prominence to Howard Webb.

This year.
They're no longer called the PGMOL, they're called Pro Ref.

Like what in what world is a rebranding of a referee body making anyone's lives better?
Like it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't do anything for anybody except uh it's just an insight into that world of um
corporate co the sort of corporate speak that they operate in.
And you know, and I was looking like Howard Webb said on the back of their rebranding that they were now creating an environment focused on high performance and that it was fundamental to enhancing refereeing standards.
Well well, yeah, exactly.
