I even work with a big Liverpool fan and he despises it too.
He must be the only one of their cult.

Why would the referee add stoppage time accrued in the first half onto the end of the second half?
First half stoppage time is not added to the second half Generally there’s subs in second half Refs allow stoppage time according to feeling what’s right Its a jokeI’ve no idea but seems to be that way in every game I see. Average first half stoppage 1-2 mins. Average second half stoppage 4-5 mins.
Just watching WHU game.
Noble conned the officials for the pen and VAR missed it.
Couldn’t help but celebrate when Foden scores right in front of the SS, once again atmosphere was sucked out of the rest of the first half after VAR review - in this case it was the right call but fuck me it’s killing the game
I’d love a protest in the form of all our players just not celebrating goals, just score and calmly mime a square with their fingers
We bring you 93:20 plus 30 seconds to review the goal before you can truely go ape shit ( but a bit less so..) I dont think so. VAR is for armchair critics who watch at home. It will kill the live spectacle and being 'in the moment'. I am also sure that the choice of what is reviewed and what isnt will be highly dubious as we have already seen in WC. Those who believe it will iron out inconsistency and beat corruption are living in cuckoo land.
You seem a pretty reasonable chap and other fans are always welcome if they add to the debate, however you are wrong with your Noble red card.I really dislike the feeling when you score it’s going to get scrutinised and if your a half glass empty kind of guy like me you always fear the worst. For this reason alone I would like to see it scrapped.
fortunately it does have its plus sides - Noble tonight did a good challenge and the ref sent him off , that’s totally unjustifiable and luckily VAR was able to tell the ref he got it wrong. Likewise players ‘clearly’ diving in the pen area don’t get away with it any longer and also ‘clear’ offsides are now prevented.
It has to be improved.

The person who did the tackle was Aaron Creswell and whilst he did actually get the ball the follow through was shocking the on-field referee in my opinion made the right decision. Now compare that tackle with Calvert-Lewin's on Fernandinho where the dirty twat had no intention whatsoever of going for the ball and went right through him from behind, a yellow card was issued but there was no VAR review,
For VAR to work there needs to be a full time independent team at Stockley Park not different people for each game, especially when those people are the same incompetent buffoons who will be out on the field refereeing a few days later.
Also as other people have already said how do they justify only two minutes being added to the end of the first half after two excruciatingly long VAR reviews?
I disagree with Jeff though , a ref running to a monitor on every contentious decision would be ridiculed, fans would boo every time he runs to monitor and it would cause probably longer delays then we have already - then as we saw with the cresswell tackle, it’s so subjective that whatever decision he gives after viewing he still gets labelled a ‘cheat’ corrupt ‘ etc.
http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/mls-var-sponsorship-inventory-saleI am just waiting for the tele to start showing adverts whilst VAR make their decision. Soon they will not be able to announce it until the advert (Bet365, Foxy Bingo, Sky Bet) has finished.
You think I'm joking ?
