because they're thinking, you know, the advantages now with the strikers, which means, you know, there'll be more goalmouth action, there'll be more shots at goal, there'll be less controversy to deal with.

Of course, there'll still be the marginal calls where they'd have to go to VAR, because I think VAR is here to stay.

People invested so much money and time in it, I think that's here to stay.

And I think we are putting the referees under enormous pressure under the current rule of offside where, you know, it can be a toenail, it can be

you know, a shoulder, it can be, you know, a couple of hairs on your head.

And I just think it's a common sense one to take.

Nobody, no supporter is happy with VAR.

Nobody is.

You know, even when we're in the studio and there's a gone to VAR, we're sitting there, you know, there's like 30 seconds, a minute, minute and a half, two minutes before sometimes they make the call.

No, it has.

It has.

Listen, VAR is a tool to help referees make the right call.

Ultimately, it still comes down to, you know, a human making the call in...

with their interpretation of the rules.

And they don't always get it right.

It's put them under enormous pressure.

I think we have to try and simplify it for them.

And this offside suggestion, I think, would take a lot of the drama and the wasted minutes waiting for VAR decisions to be decided.

That's my youngish wife.

Oh, is it?
