The only thing that I have seen in 54 years of watching the game that could kill it stone dead.

I was at two games last season with VAR, the Schalke game at the Etihad and the Cup final. The Schalke game was farcical, completely destroyed by the constant varring of decisions. And as many have pointed out the first half goals at Wembley could not be celebrated properly. I don't care if VAR is good in theory, the impact on live football is horrendous.

Couldn't give a flying fuck whether there's the odd wrong decision against us if, as I mentioned in a previous post, the introduction of VAR takes away that magical feeling when your team score. Which it will, as everyone's first reaction will be to wonder whether there's a reason for VAR to look at it.

FUCK VAR!

Bang on.

Football is dead.

Sweden should've had a penalty last night but was ignored by var.

I'm sure you've noticed there's a slight difference between the two games!

Has there been an instance where it’s gone to the ref on the field and they haven’t changed their mind yet this summer?

It seems as soon as they go to watch their telly the ref is expected to reverse their decision. The pen in the England game the other day being a good example, I’m not having that there was a clear foul there.

Of course the only time I can remember when this happened was when Llorente scored v City!

Unfortunately, you are correct, I thought VAR would come in and take away the cheat's charter for Manure and Liverpool, the blatant offside goals that these clubs manage to get away with season after season, the soft non-penalty decisions also.

It seems now that goals are being chalked off correctly by using a slide rule to find that the forward was actually a toenail offside, even though they really still cannot be 100% accurate on this imo, the angle of the lines seem somewhat iffy on occasion to say the least. It was supposed to be a clear and obvious reason to overturn decisions but really the worst thing is the fact it seems to take 5 minutes of fucking around and then the ref decides to go and take a look and that is another 5 minutes and shockingly they still get the clear and obvious decision wrong, rendering it fucking pointless in the extreme.

I will never forgive it for the 5 laps of the living room after Sterling's goal v Spurs.

So I am now in the FUCK VAR CLUB.

Good lad.

NYCFC had a clear penalty not given, even after the ref looked at it with VAR.
