Did you celebrate? (vs Spurs pg21)

[geoff hammond]

Its shit, why cant we have say 10cm zone where technically hes offside but its so minute the goal hss to stand ??
We all want goals right ?????

That wouldn’t work, it would just move the argument by 10cm. “Was he offside by 9cm or 11cm? “

Pep says players have to learn to with hold their emotions when they score,what about fans,the joy of football is going made when they score,sorry pep it's bollocks

the vast majority of goals will be ok to celebrate.... a 25 yarder, a bullet header from a corner, a shot from inside the crowded box....

Yes I clapped but didn’t go mental. Didn’t want to go through the emotion of it being taken away.

Think this deserves to be separate from the other threads just to discuss an incident, just to see whether VAR is already having an influence on celebrations?

I didn't. Knew VAR was going to get involved so what was the point celebrating.

I was surprised he was actually onside, so it helped in that regard but it's a bit disappointing that I didn't get to celebrate it.

I don't believe you.

They’ve put the final’sanitized ‘ nail in the coffin of football for me, in an effort to get every decision right they’ve turned it into a tv sport , a video game for the armchair fan & totally killed the passion & excitement of scoring a goal for the match going fan , as a live sport it’s finished.

How about 15cm then?

No!

Not the penalty nor the fifth either as I thought it was going to review the Gundogan challenge.

For three goals out of five, I just sat there waiting for VAR.

I feel sad about it. The best thing about this sport, that specialness about the emotion when the ball hits the net - gone!

I suppose the plus side of VAR is that there'll never be a moment as good as Aguero's ever again - making the Aguerroooo moment all the more special, because people are a lot more hesitant now when they celebrate goals.

Vincent’s thunderbolt was the last great goal of football.

There’ll never be a goal celebrated like that ever again in the sport.

It was for the defenders being yards inside the box when the pen was taken and not the keeper being off his line. I don’t particularly like pens being retaken but it was under the retake under the rules I have been laying football for the last 40 odd years mate. Come on City

And can everyone stop talking about the rules and the details (not just you, TimOTO).

This not about VAR getting details wrong, or how fine the details are, it’s about VAR killing goal celebrations. That’s the worst thing about it.

 

[argyle]

Yes and then yes again.

A tight decision went against us so people are throwing their toys out of the pram.

If decisions stop Liverpool or United goals I bet you'll all like VAR.
