00:00Also fine margins, Sean, as well. You look back at that VAR decision from last week.
00:04I wonder, I know you're a fan of VAR, but at the same time, do you need to look at that offside decision and how marginal it was for better?
00:11Yeah, but the thing I said afterwards, and I do believe in it, is I'd hear a lot of this debate about, oh, it was only a toe offside, but it's only a toe.
00:18Where do you draw the line? You have to draw it somewhere.
00:20So I do believe that the offside thing is one of the best things about VAR, because I know there's been a mix-up, but virtually it's conclusive.
00:28So I'm not really going to cry on that.
00:30Other decisions, there is debate, so when they should step in, they don't step in, and all the rest of it.
00:35But the offside, if you're offside, you're offside.
00:37You know, you have to find a line somewhere.
00:39So, you know, where does it go? Is it how long is your toe?
00:42You know, size 10 is against the size 6, you know.
00:46It's taking a few minutes to piss off.
00:48Yeah, that's the bit that no one understands at the minute.
00:50And I think we've been talking about that ever since VAR came in.
00:53How can they speed it up? How can they be more assured more quickly to get the right outcome?
00:59So, yeah, of course, the speed element.
01:02Hence why, as you know, I don't like the referees going over to the screen.
01:05I think there was only one turnaround on it, and that was ours, I think, in a season.
01:10So, you know, what's the point?
01:11If they've been told what it's going to be, then take that out of the equation and it speeds everything up.
01:17But, yeah.
