Official VAR thread

It's in and it is here to stay.

People would want to just get used to it instead of the endless 'I remember when all this was fields'.

Good man Daniel.

Now, off to the langers forum you go to start your apprenticeship.

You'll be ready for the SF in about 25 years, I reckon.

Not a VAR-specific topic, but couldn't think where else to place this. Great thread.

That Mbappe goal had the potential to be up there, as an iconic moment, with Pele's dummy in the 1970 WC

Every time I see that Pele clip, I'm still hoping he scores.

People who think VAR has been a positive and should stay = People who do not understand football.

At all.

I applied for the FÁS scheme but it turns out they've been disbanded with years .

I'm not a fan of VAR btw but it's here to stay. The English clubs had their choice to bin it and almost unanimously opted to keep it.

Maybe switch over to the hurling if you don't want your sport destroyed by video replay technology.

The match on Sunday was better than anything this tournament has thrown up.

Exactly, it's nothing to do with dinosaurism. If the majority of those who consume a product, think that an aspect of said product is having a negative effect, retract the aspect.

World cups in Qatar and Saudi Arabia show that soccers governing bodies don't give a fig about accomodating fans wishes.

They'll start caring if VAR leads to people not watching the game as much as they used to.

But yeah, other than that, you're right.

Was unsure where to put this, so I put it here

They really are doing trojan work. The rest of the world should wade in behind them.

Saw there's been some stoppages on twitter, didn't know they'd got it abandoned though.

Well done Vikings!!

If only we did VAR like Rugby it would be perfect.
