I thought it was fairly broken when they incorrectly disallowed Jesus and Sane’s supposedly offside goals against Liverpool in 2018.I've a great idea for football
LEAVE IT AS IT FUCKING WAS, it wasn't broken, it is now, leave the technology out of football, except goal line technology, We all know what offside is,we all know a handball when we see one, don't take the passion and emotion out of the game, or there will be no game left, people who wanted VAR should be put on a train given sleeping tablets then slapped awake fucking shithouses
I suspect with the Sane goal we'd have been shown the little lines with Sane demonstrably in an offside position. Who played the ball? We saw nothing to overturn the opinion of the referee.I thought it was fairly broken when they incorrectly disallowed Jesus and Sane’s supposedly offside goals against Liverpool in 2018.
They’ve clearly botched the introduction of VAR but it’s still early days. Lets not kid ourselves that we were happy with the old system
Tell them City are in for it though and Ed will soon find an extra 5k for it, you'll clean up.
I couldn’t agree more, VAR if was implemented correctly by a regulated independent body (not PiGMOL) it would be great.I thought it was fairly broken when they incorrectly disallowed Jesus and Sane’s supposedly offside goals against Liverpool in 2018.

Well 3 matches in 4 wrong decisions, 2 points dropped there is a big difference though these incidents were seen with technology and that makes it a lot worse than what went beforeThat would be one long train, I seem to recall the place in meltdown on many occasions over the last few years as we have been screwed over time and again by dodgy decisions. Those decisions are what drove a significant proportion of this forum to being in favour of VAR in the (misguided as it turns out) belief that this would make it harder to stitch us up
Few factored in that PiGMOL, as well as being incompetent/corrupt (delete as appropriate depending upon your penchant for tin foil), being hard faced liars too
Glad you've seen the light.It's the new threshold,we didn't need a new threshold,who the fuck thought i know we can fuck about with the beautiful game,for what reason,there has to be something in it for somebody,i get more angry every day about this,i'm not wishing the time away till the next game like i always have done before,give us our game back minus the goals scored with hands,none of the bollocks with it touching the hand of someone else first,give pens unless we can all see it's a dive,if the ref doesn't see it then var give it,stop being so fucking precious about the refs,if they cock something up then overturn it,we all want an honest game,level playing field for everyone,it's not that complicated to do,arrggghhh
Errr........brexit.Only solution, get some foreign referees in for a few premier league games, no bias or objectives, they can't do any worse than the refs we have already.
And that very same reason is corruption, and they've just made it easier.
Granted, there have been some downright shocking refereeing performances that can be put down to sheer incompetence, but VAR is just another tool in the arsenal of bent officials.
