As someone who hails from Croydon, Smith-Rowe doesn't have a Croydon accent in the traditional sense. Most of us sound vaguely cockneyish to people outside of London!

Hello, On May 22, outside PL HQ in Paddington, London, a peaceful protest will be held against the use of VAR in Premier League football. This protest is for all football fans. VAR has ripped the heart and soul out of the game. It has sacrificed the soul and does not even get decisions correct, there are too many examples of VAR mistakes for me to list on here. VAR is also currently calling offside decisions which it cannot definitively call due to frame rates and margin of error. We can not know the goal that was disallowed for Chelsea in the FA cup final was definitively offside. Obviously most Villa fans are from the Birmingham area so no worries if you can't make it to the protest, but feel free to follow on twitter (@fansagainstvar_) or sign the petition to scrap VAR https://www.change.org/p/the-premier-league-remove-the-use-of-the-video-assistant-referee-var-from-premier-league-football?recruiter=908392471&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=share_petition&recruited_by_id=dd1eb300-da22-11e8-9f02-2b214d86d7dc Interestingly the bulk of our followers are supporters of teams such as: Villa, Wolves, Sheff Utd and Norwich. I don't know if this is because more decisions have gone against those teams by VAR, but it is quite interesting. Hopefully more supporters of all teams get on board. Good luck with your game on the last day of the season.

Hi Villa talk, Want to engage with Villa fans about VAR, I don't support a PL team but I hate what it is doing to the sport and a lot of Villa fans seem against it. I would probably only post in the VAR thread in the other football section. This isn't really relevant but I love Jack Grealish, what a baller.
