Olympic football

Imagine being a fan, watching your side score a last minute winner, lob a couple of flares and get told to leave, which you do as you think the game is over.

Then, an hour later, as you’re on your second post match pint, you get a notification that the goal has been disallowed and the game will be completed behind closed doors!

last game of 2024-25 season.

City have just took the lead to win the title ahead of arsenal on the final day.

games finished, everyone's celebrating, drinking and gone home.

but wait, VAR are still reviewing the goal that we scored.

It happened a few years ago, Brighton v United. VAR gave United a penalty after the full time whistle had gone.

I guess our version would be we’ve invaded the pitch whilst fans in levels 2 and 3 tut and moan about it being unnecessary.

As they’re clearing the pitch, the screens indicate that VAR is checking the goal and the pitch gets invaded again with angry fans rather than celebratory ones!

Seriously, whilst it was a farce, it was a one off in a pretty unlikely scenario and the VAR official should be struck off the international list.

The VAR review wast right on that though. It was a penalty and was pretty quickly given.

There was a game in Germany when the players had all gone back in the dressing rooms for half time and were brought out after a lengthy VAR review and they were all brought back out for a penalty to be taken!
 
The Olympics is a good opportunity to take a break from football and get some exposure to other sports that you might not necessarily watch normally.

Oh, I meant I'm giving the Olympics football a miss.

Will be watching some of the others sports.

It’s already happened… The rags were given a pen after the full time whistle had gone and they were in the tunnel …
