I wonder if BlueHammer85 still thinks VAR is great.
The game is terrible with VAR - to the point that I've stopped watching other games - something I thought I would never do.I’ve given many pro’s and cons and have never said it’s great.
Spurs defender completely took out Aguero , without VAR the ref wouldn’t have gave a penalty
notice Lloris can come miles off his line to save a pen
no VAR brilliant aye ?

Good luck with season ticket renewals next season Premier League.
So if VAR is the answer why wasn't Murray's handball spotted yesterday against your lot? I saw it, you saw it but the officials decided not to.that’s fair enough, will keep an eye on season ticket renewals next season.
VAR is far from great, but it always has a chance to improve - unlike no VAR and the refs making absurd decisions - like not giving you a penalty when Aguero was completely chopped down, scandalous we put up with refs getting them clear decisions wrong.

But which version of football did you enjoy more;-VAR is far from perfect and will not get everything right - it’s the way forward and will always evolve to improve and get more decisions correct - not wanting to go back to refs making blind guesses and ridiculous decisions doesn’t mean I’m a massive fan of VAR.
But which version of football did you enjoy more;-
a) Ridiculous instant decisions given by the on field referee
b) Ridiculous tardy decisions given by a substandard official 120 miles away?
We fell in love with the game in a), would you in b)?Good question. Both them examples are equally infuriating.
One major criticism justified for me is the wait for the goal to be given - it’s taken a lot out the game and something I can’t get used too.
But.... so many times used to walk out the ground angry at a player being miles offside and scoring or a opposition player completely diving and the penalty given - it’s easy to forget how many of those clear wrong decisions were given. Refs needed help.
I’m not denying much more improvement is needed.

It's become just another sport.
despite West Ham being completely shite. Football is still the best and most entertaining sport imo. Apologies but that spurs city game was brilliant for the neutral, VAR hasn’t affected the entertainment.
Good idea, implemented by clueless fools.
As a neutral maybe, if that involves your team then it’s no longer the same sport we al loved
but what would your reaction have been had the ref not given that penalty against Aguero ? It’s completely farcical - refs can not cope with the modern game. They need some form of help
If Spurs would have scored would I wouldn't have been shocked if the pen was strangely overlooked like at AnfieldIt’s as many have said, including yourself, it’s the way it’s being used. It’s a joke Dean missed the penalty, it’s another joke that the game went on for nearly 3 more minutes until the penalty was given. Obviously they was wanting the ball to go out, if it’s a clear pen which it was then that decision should be done in seconds. Spurs could have scored in that play only for more controversy ruling it out to give us a pen. It’s being used horrendously, it shouldn’t be this bad.
