Official VAR thread

Very interesting tonight. A dive and a penalty too! To be fair, it could have gone either way. My honest assessment is that I'm surprised the ref gave it when there was a clear "dive".

Simulation not a dive.
One of those classic “if he doesn’t go down he doesn’t get it” vs “he’s a bit theatrical”

I know we benefited from it tonight but honestly I hate it..turning football into American football with the stoppages which kill the tempo of the game. .part of the fun of football is arguing over contentious issues ..tis too robotic for me

It has its merits and will need tweaking but the pundits are scared shitless as they’ll run out of things to talk about.

Get rid of this shit.

Fuck VAR.

What a farce.

I don't want it in the game.

 

[Super Billy Davies]

Premier League clubs vote against using VAR next season. :bday:

Idiotic stuff.

It is the future of the game.
Should have been brought in years ago.

You wouldn't see the likes of City's second disallowed and Youngs challenge would have been a spotter.


Given the money involved these days it's bananas not to introduce it.

 

[Super Billy Davies]

These decisions even themselves out over a season.

Some weeks it goes for you, some weeks it goes against you.

That's football.

Only delaying the inevitable Billy.
It can only improve the game.

Don't mind me, Dan. I just hate change. I'm old skool. :bday:
