1In this episode we talk about the controversial VAR moments from last weekend's Premier League matches.
We delve into the history of VAR, life before and since it came into our lives. We ask whether it should be 'binned' as West Ham's Michel Antonio and ex-England and Arsenal striker have recently recommended, or whether we are just experiencing 'teething' problems that will be resolved over time.
Finally we suggest a couple of alternatives to fix VAR, with Tim arguing that more power should be given back to the on-field referee and Tom arguing that the power transfer should go in the opposite direction, to the people in the VAR studio.
Tim and Tom tackle a number of topics, starting with the death of Queen Elizabeth II and whether it was right to suspend Premier League football matches for one week.
