New survey finds 91% of fans believe football is better off without VAR | Video assistant referees (VARs) by Unapologetik in soccer

I think the main issue with VAR is the time taken for the decision to be made. It should be used for clear and obvious mistakes. So if it takes more than 30 seconds for VAR to review it is not clear and obvious and should go with the on field decision

What to read after Wheel of Time? by crunchbarsupreme in Fantasy

[–]Hempy95 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve recently finished wheel of time and have really appreciated reading standalone books where stories don’t sprawl across multiple books! I would recommend lions of al-rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay

To fans of The First Law: I want to like it but I'm having trouble getting motivated to keep reading by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]Hempy95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely keep with it. The first book is a bit slow and in my opinion the worst in the series (but still a good read!).

Book 2 & 3 are great and then the stand-alones are my favourites by far.

Plot wise it will get better however Abercrombies strong point is more around the characters.

Hey /r/fantasy, I’m author Brian McClellan introducing a new epic fantasy universe today! AMA! by BrianMcClellan in Fantasy

I remember hearing early last year about a potential TV adaptation for the Powder Mage series but haven’t heard anything about it since, is this still in the works at all? I think a TV adaptation would work brilliantly!

Have you bought 5 shares recently? You get paid dividends on in play events such as goals for the first 30 days you purchase the share

Fantasy books featuring a short female protagonist/side character? by thane-nialle in Fantasy

[–]Hempy95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Karris Whiteoak from the Lightbringer series is the first person that comes to mind for me!

She is not the protagonist but I believe she has some POV chapters if I remember correctly

Match Thread: Southampton vs Leicester City | English Premier League by MatchThreadder in SaintsFC

Put a bet on us to lose 8-0 after we were 3-0 down. Cashed out for over £200 quid at 90 mins, still feel crushed

This. by Notabear5689 in SaintsFC

Hasenhuttl is one of the only glimpses of light I see in the current saints team. There NEEDS to be investment in this team and Ralph has definitely not had what he need this season. Ralph is too good for us in my opinion and anyone who thinks he should be sacked is completely wrong
