I mean, I've seen enough ridiculous decisions go against us in my time, so I'll take it. VAR was supposed to prevent those, though, not enable more of them.

here's to Neil Tennant at 70. His review of "Eyes Without a Face" in Smash Hits, 1984 ("he doesn't have a great voice & the words are utter drivel but sounds affectingly sincere") & various singles in '82 ("all today's trendy sounds on 1 single. unfortunately there's no tune & tunes are trendy too")
