That is an extreme, rare occasion.“You can see in a stadium whether a goal is contentious or not. Players’ reactions and length of time to make the decision are the biggest indicators.”
Yes, the City players knew Rodri was never being credited with that “contentious “ goal. And none of the fans celebrated.Night night.
Ok, so you’re ok with how VAR happened tonight then?Why would I moan when it’s accurate? Why would I moan about the referee when he is right? That’s not the point mate. Bit weird reply. Bit VARish
Spot onCelebrate goal. Wait 3 minutes. Stop celebrating. Its insanity to suggest it doesnt spoil it. It doesn't matter about whether it happens for or against city. As a spectacle. As a mode on enjoyment, visceral release, whatever you want to call it, it's being sanitised and thats insanity.

It spoils the game for at least 90% (probably a lot more) of fans. It kills the elation mate for nearly all of us.Ok, so you’re ok with how VAR happened tonight then?
It doesn’t.It spoils the game for at least 90% (probably a lot more) of fans. It kills the elation mate for nearly all of us.
But when you know it has a 5-10% chance of being chalked off you don't celebrate properly. Each to their own and if you like it then I'm pleased for you but I genuinely have not met one fan face to face who likes it. Only read 1 or 2 on here.It happens in less than 5-10% of goals.
No one at the derby didn’t celebrate any of the goals. Even the one everyone thought Foden was offside for!
Did you celebrate all 6 Goals in the derby or sit on your hands waiting for the rags to kick off before jumping up?But when you know it has a 5-10% chance of being chalked off you don't celebrate properly. Each to their own and if you like it then I'm pleased for you but I genuinely have not met one fan face to face who likes it. Only read 1 or 2 on here.
You'r ewrong there mate... for me anyway and thousands and thousands of others. I hardly ever celebrate a goal like I used to, and when I forget myself and do, it's disallowed.It doesn’t.
No one left the derby bemoaning they didn’t enjoy it just in case VAR had made them celebrate when a goal might have been disallowed.
It spoils it when, on the rare occasion, it does disallow a goal and we revert to these types of debate again.
I don’t even particularly like it, I’m just not knee jerk reacting to it and I can live with it.But when you know it has a 5-10% chance of being chalked off you don't celebrate properly.

Well, all I can say is that I feel for you and hope you can work out a way to do so again. It’s not going away.You'r ewrong there mate... for me anyway and thousands and thousands of others. I hardly ever celebrate a goal like I used to, and when I forget myself and do, it's disallowed.
If you have someone (or many people) saying it spoils the game, then you can't say it doesn't spoil the game. Rodri Arsenal last year is a prime example, I celebrated then immediately thought, oh fuck, then waited and then then elation, but it wasn't the same. It isn't the same.It doesn’t.

No I sort of jumped up, then waited with a big smile on my face then was relieved. It's not like jumping up, looking at the linesman and then going mental. I NEVER go mental now. It's the only thing I ever used to get excited about being autistic. Now I don't even have that lol. I FUCKIN HATE VAR. It's taken away soooo muchDid you celebrate all 6 Goals in the derby or sit on your hands waiting for the rags to kick off before jumping up?
Agreed. I thought I was getting used to it but it's becoming a joke againWell, all I can say is that I feel for you and hope you can work out a way to do so again. It’s not going away.
Ok. I don’t know what to say. I’m sorry it makes you feel that way.If you have someone (or many people) saying it spoils the game, then you can't say it doesn't spoil the game. Rodri Arsenal last year is a prime example, I celebrated then immediately thought, oh fuck, then waited and then then elation, but it wasn't the same. It isn't the same.
It isn’t really. It still only happens in a very small amount of games.Agreed. I thought I was getting used to it but it's becoming a joke again
Its not your fault!! I just hate it, truly hate it. Have done since day one. I'm not even a FOC!Ok. I don’t know what to say. I’m sorry it makes you feel that way.
And that’s your right! You may well be right! It’ll get better and quicker over time, but it does stop 100% spontaneity, although it went mad round me at the derby. I didn’t hear anything about VAR until goal number 6!Its not your fault!! I just hate it, truly hate it. Have done since day one. I'm not even a FOC!
It's nearly every game mate - not just City's. It seemed to calm down and they seemed to be getting it right but they've obviously had a meeting and got bored and decided to find as many ways as they can to chalk off goals. It's not even 90% accurate either. We haven't even got the technology yet to use it accurately. Where's the proof that the ball has actually been kicked by the assister? It's a farce. But if you and Bluehammer say it's brilliant then we should all just accept it. Tossers!! Haha...Only joking :) I'm glad it doesn't spoil it for you and whoever else - but I fuckin hate it. It's not ruined it for me, but it's taken out the spontaneity out of football for me, and for someone who does find spontaneity easy, that a big shameIt isn’t really. It still only happens in a very small amount of games.
It‘s just fresh in our heads at the moment.
I doubt anyone will remember anything about this game in a few months.
