Grow a pair.

I also follow RL,no one's EVER come up with that excuse, and you get at least 5 VR decisions per match
It's revolutionised cricket since the Millennium

Why are football fans so precious about "celebrations"

With VAR, you get to "celebrate" TWICE

Double the fun

Var is shit .
We scored .
Celebrate then wait 5 minutes.
It's awful

I would rather the referee did his job properly and over-ruled an obviously wrong call on-field.

Tbf, though, I must say I like this "higher bar"for interventions. Cuts out a lot of the shit. Just apply the same to offsides then that's probably as good as it's going to get.

Just a question of which you hate more: erosion of the fan experience, or getting decisions wrong against you from time to time.

If you erode the fan experience, which it absolutely undeniably does, then you should question its existence. And bin it.
Put it to the fans. They won’t because they know it’s TV gold.

About as pathetic as people on here saying it’s in favour of Liverpool, Arsenal ,Man Utd ?

VAR has worked wonders this weekend from what I’ve seen, 3 clear red cards given and many decision aswell as quick decisions.
Couple of others that can be improved.

Coming at you with logic tends to get ignored. Define what can be improved? It has been in the league for years and should be a finished article by now, getting absolutely nothing wrong at this stage surely? You will hammer home things it got correct, whilst ignoring the many things it has got wrong. I am not on the train of not celebrating though. Goals are still celebrated as normal, nobody waits. We have an uneasy few seconds after the celebration granted, but nobody doesn't celebrate until it is given.

Goals aren’t celebrated anything like they used to be.

If it came to it yes I would.
Var in my opinion has totally ruined the game for those attending the game

For some yes, but there’s record attendances year on year, no sign of boycotts or protests, new generation of fans coming through that will adapt to this form of officiating - as someone that’s attended games for over 30 years I just wish we had it sooner.

I can accept refs and linos making mistakes as the game moves quickly and they only see it once in actual time but what I can't accept is the fuckers that are watching multiple camera angles of the match and they get to see them in slow motion and multiple times yet they still make mistakes.
Regardless of whether the decision favours City or not I still hate VAR..I can be sat in the ground and not have a fucking clue what they are looking at until they put it up on the big screen yet the fans watching at home know exactly what's happening and they know if it's a goal or not before the match going fans usually..it's fucking crazy.
I'm sure most match going fans would prefer games without VAR..I know most of the ones I speak to going to the game ..at the game ..and after the game don't like or want VAR.
 
With VAR it was a double dip celebration yesterday, Normally you get the celebration and then the realization of f*ck you VAR I hate it, get it out of the game now you robbing b*stards. VAR could have done us over yesterday and they could easily have ruled it out because of a sub-section within the rules of the offside laws, Also the new rule in the referee's call could have applied with VAR leaving to the referee.

Look it's not 100% and I doubt it ever will be, Pep and City have learned the hard way that VAR can change the game against you. City now has it in the training programs of the first-team squad and I bet the corner city used with Silva on the keeper and him ducking was worked on and looked at in training with the City VAR team in training,

Silva ducking is the clue to the goal being given, it's very very clever and normally you would just stand there if you have not worked hard on that in training to duck

Each to there own.
Part of the reason I've given my ticket to a mate this season is var.
I absolutely hate it.

If they showed the replay on the big screen in the ground it might help a bit.
But obviously two teams don't have a screen

That explains why are set pieces are shit. Players trying to outfox VAR instead of just smashing a free kick into top bins. Ironically we scored from one.

I think Johnny Stone said something along the lines of working at corners in the after-match interview.

City are pretty poor on corners and free kicks, which comes from the short corners and not wanting to give the ball away when tossing it up making it 50/50 chance, it's a big part of the game for many other teams because that is their main quality in scoring,

Haaland is the best jumper I have seen in the city squad, he's reaching over 8ft and scored a head once last season and it looked like he was about 10 ft off the ground

I just want to repost this update to my post on how clever this corner was, City 100% worked on this, We were trying it all game and it never worked because of a poor corner or the keeper fell over and got the free kick,

Also, show how poor some pundits are.. cough cough, Even Warnock saying teams will have to put an extra defender between the player hahaha, that will make him 100% onside when Stones heads the corner.
