Referee: Anthony Taylor
Assistant Referees: Gary Beswick & Adam Nunn

So we get a ref from Manchester, lets hope he's a red

How long has reserve assistant been a thing? Have I just been oblivious?

Have we got the VAR semi final?

In line with VAR's implementation, I assume one match will have VAR while the other doesn't.

Shane Duffy will get a penalty because of VAR in this semi I can feel it in my waters. He gets battered at every corner and is very good at going down.

It will be like panto season, with half of the stadium watching it on the big screens.

Muzza smashes it home. 1-6.

Yeah but what about the second half?

Play like Swansea and we should be ok then.

Look forward to joining them in the Championship next season then [emoji106]

He is an Altrincham fan and is allowed to referee Manchester teams.

They won't need VAR to confirm Murray was ten yards offside

We will not see the review, just a clip once the decision has been made - if the decision is being overturned.

What’s the betting he gets a penalty against him because of VAR?

Would be quality if this happens:

They would have won if VAR was used, is my point.

Was? Is and always will be!

I don't think that will make any difference to efficiency, the ref will still go pitch side to check the screen. It will increase tension though!!

We've not been using pitch-side monitors in this country. The ref does as he's told by the VAR. Speeds things up but can have the unwanted side effect of less experienced refs over-ruling the ones that are good enough to be picked for the big games.
