Our second is a great example of the spontaneity being taken out of it. In the good old days you did a quick check that the linesman hadn't flagged and then celebrated. Today we were immediately told it was being checked for handball !! I didn't have a clue what they were on about at first especially as it hit his face. !

Exactly..its like they are sado masachists making stuff up that only discredit the game they hold the narrative for. Is the ego of TV ?

I mean the alternative is to have a period of silence enforced while VAR checks go on and nobody is going to want that.

Thats exactly what will make the media sit up..
.unless they pipe in fake noise and jumping crowd imsges. Silence then just a ripple of applause if a goal give. Take that ya fkers
 
VAR has taken the best thing out of football the fans celebrating a teams goal as soon as it’s scored,before VAR cue some mental celebrations,now there are so many goals looked at in such detail by some faceless person 100s of miles away your now sat in some case for up to 4/5 minutes until the goal stands

could you imagine if VAR was used on Kuns goal v QPR

Done. Makes a change from questionnaires about sportswashing, the cheeky bastards.

Note it's "should have", not "should of". Naughty Beth.
 
I was at the match so please someone explain to me why our first goal needed to be reviewed for what, 3 minutes ? Further why was our 'second' and third reviewed? It does seem that they will try anything and everything to rule our goals out. It 8s sucking the life out of real time football.

The first goal was very tight on offside.

The Alvarez one was a subjective, was Rodri interfering with the keeper, offside call.

Not sure on the Lewis one. It was a weird deflected looped ball. Maybe if it had hit Rodri, Lewis might have been offside? I’ve not seen it back, so going on my eyes in the stadium.

Lewis was offside on the chip through but it hit rodri so he became onside.

Only the defenders fat arse saved us there. Very tight that one.

Thanks for that but I ask, first, am I wrong it took 3 minutes ? If so that is just wrong, no wonder people have conspiracy theories. Second 3 goals, 3 Var reviews, it killing the enthusiasm of match going fans. Its fine if I was at home, I can go and make a brew whilst they fuck about but live, it's just shit.

I didn’t time it, but it did feel longer than usual, which I tend to think means it’s tight and lines are being drawn.

It’s probably slower as they’re so scared of fucking it up again.

The stadium announcer was pretty good at saying “VAR have given us the goal” or similar when Lewis’ goal stood.

We could have had the Santa dash wilst the Grealish goal was checked.
 
It was plain to see that the first goal was being played onside by an arse.
Even though it was tight, surely they would have drew the lines and saw that straight away.
Not sure what they were looking at inbetween drawing the lines and making a decision.
If they didn't draw the lines straight away, why not?

First one was very tight. I thought it was offside initially but " lines" showed it to be just onside.

Second Rodri in an offside position when ball came in and definitely interfered with play, unsighted keeper and Rodri made a movement that put keeper off.

Third
Lewis was initially in an off side position.
Rodro and/ or defender appeared to touch ball. When this happened, Lewis was back onside.
If the ball had gone directly to Lewis, goal would not have been allowed.

Like the penalty and the Ederson yellow, probably all decisions were correct.
