I would rather VAR fucks off. It's only a game.

How about this: It’s 90+ mins, Man City are playing Madrid in the European final. They are winning 1-0. Vinicius has the ball and is whizzing down the line, a player closes in, he crosses it and the ball goes behind. City players are screaming and appealing that the ball deflected back off Vinicius, Madrid players and fans scream it came off the City player.

The ref is totally unsure as could not see from his angle.

Funny as fuck. Swings and roundabouts. Life lessons. Doesn't mean people won't be going ballistic, though. Always have always will, even with VAR.

Bang on

How many times a season is a goal scored from an incorrectly given corner? I’d be pretty certain that in the Premier League you could count them on the fingers of one hand. So over 380 games, maybe 5 corners are the issue. I personally don’t want even more delays to the game for something that isn’t a major problem.

It’s progress though mate. “All fans wanted VAR”

@BlueHammer85 you can take your VAR for corners and stick it up your arse and while you are there can we please fuck off all the other VAR stuff at the same time. Pointless intrusion into a once great game.

Ha ha ha beautiful. So true.
