Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglu said he didn't believe blue cards would make a difference and questioned the urgency to bring in new rules ahead of their clash with Brighton

00:00 why this urgency all of a sudden to bring in new things.
00:05 I don't know that there's that much wrong with the game as I see it.
00:10 My biggest issue with the game at the moment is, like I said,
00:13 VAR has changed the experience, whether that's you're a player,
00:17 you're a manager, you're a supporter, whatever you are,
00:20 I think it's changed the experience of football.
00:22 So now I'm assuming that's a means to an end.
00:25 They think that the introduction of technology is going to get us
00:29 to a better place.
00:30 I'm yet to be convinced about that.
00:32 But beyond that, I don't know why a different colour card is going
00:38 to make any difference.
00:39 And I struggle with this whole taking from other sports.
00:44 What I do know about other sports is that most of them are trying
00:49 to introduce rules that will speed up and unclutter their game.
00:54 We're going the other way, and I don't know why,
00:57 because that's been always the difference of, I think, football
01:00 compared to the other sports is there's a football match always has a life
01:04 of its own, and within that there's mistakes, there's flaws,
01:08 there's imperfections.
01:11 And other sports tend to be able to stop and start and stop and start
01:16 without affecting it.
01:17 But even that, like I said, most of the other sports that I look
01:20 across at are trying to speed up their game, make it a better sort
01:23 of spectacle.
01:25 I don't know why we're trying to go the other way.
