    Seems like the FIGC is pushing the technology into use 1 year early. Plans are in place for installation during the summer across all the stadiums.

    Let see if we get commercial in this new 30 second spot.


    What do you guys think.

    I dig it. It's just a matter of time until it's used everywhere. And it's nice to see Serie A doing something early for once.

    @ the U20 tournament we also saw that it was up to the referee's discretion to use it or not, so you guys are safe, lol.

    9 decisions in 235 makes you think the only reason it's being done is for advertising money.

    Makes perfect sense, though who wants to advertise on RAI except Del Piero and Uliveto water? lol

    Considering Mediaset dropped out of the bidding and Sky low balled knowing they were the only bidders I'd say it's become primordial for that clown Tevecchio to get a new source of revenue .

    Officially thus far thus season VAR is destroying my love of the sport. On the up side as a Juve fan the haters can't make up stories about bad calls.
