What was that all about? by the time everyone got their torches out and sing song of playing you in the dark they went back on. Thought ref wanted the players off though perhaps the tunnel looked even darker. The there was a short sharp announcement of stay in your seats, so quick you could've easily missed it. For one minute i thought the power was gonna abandon the game! So long as I don't see the stewards with minors hats with lights on their heads next game I think we can put that to bed as a one off.

Very odd. If it went to total darkness, there would have been a huge issue on misbehaviour I think. Just adds to it though!

The ref paused the game as all of the VAR and goal line tech would have been knocked out as well. That’s why the ref was dangling the ball in the net checking the goal line tech before me the match was restarted.

How does a power cut affect a couple of goons drawing lines in Stockley Park?

Apparently the goal line technology was down nothing to do with VAR. midweek games no live coverage on Sky or BT and VAR hardly ever gets involved strange that

I may be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure cameras need power too
Obviously. But once the power is back on what needs to be checked?

Goal line technology has to be checked or recalibrated
My query was about VAR…does this have anything which needs calibrating? I presume it is a couple of partially sighted men, a tv screen and an early version of paint brush for Windows.
