Milner was miles offside. And they scored. Give me that over every goal being under the microscope and goals like tonight being disallowed.Remember Milner being 2 yards offside at West Ham? Huge clamour for VAR on here after that.
Remember the Arsenal goal chalked off for offside when he was 3 yards on? Huge clamour for VAR on here.
Don’t remember managers mentioning how incredible that a sport as rich as football didn’t have VAR yet?
That‘s not my problem, that’s either a selective memory issue or a real memory issue for you.
And enjoyment goes down by 88-95%. But hey, the video ref was greatIndeed. With VAR, right decisions go up about 7% from 88-95% correct.
It’s something you'll have either make peace with, be constantly grumpy or stop watching football.And enjoyment goes down by 88-95%. But hey, the video ref was great
I like to moan about VAR. And I don’t mind anyone else doing it.It’s something you'll have either make peace with, be constantly grumpy or stop watching football.
Fair enough. It does seem ingrained with some people. Even if it were 100% accurate, you’d still moan about it!I like to moan about VAR. And I don’t mind anyone else doing it.
Coz it spoils football. No one watches football for its representation of fairness and accuracy. It ruins it as a spectacle. And that's enough of a reason to get rid for me, before we even get onto the inconsistency.Fair enough. It does seem ingrained with some people.

It doesn’t spoil it. Tonight’s game was dominated by it. When, if ever, had we had 3 decisions reverse on field calls?Coz it spoils football.

I’ll never make peace with VAR. I’ll never stop watching City. I’ll constantly be grumpy. About VAR. it’s shite. Tonight epitomised all that is wrong with it. It was like watching the Harlem fucking Globetrotters. The Rodri goal , great goal but hang on , two mins later some spurious VAR bollocks, corner to City, 2 mins later some bollocks about a penalty the ref didn’t give from 5 yards away, then a sending off he also missed. Let the ref be the ref. He gets it wrong? So what? Otherwise we have the bollocks we had tonight and the bollocks where you can’t celebrate a goal until the opposition have kicked off. It has utterly killed celebrating a goal. And that’s what we live for.It’s something you'll have either make peace with, be constantly grumpy or stop watching football.

Nobody wants 100% accuracy. That’s why it’s hated. Leave the game to its nuances and 95% / 85% accuracies.Fair enough. It does seem ingrained with some people. Even if it were 100% accurate, you’d still moan about it!
Spurs Quarter Final. Next question...It doesn’t spoil it. Tonight’s game was dominated by it. When, if ever, had we had 3 decisions reverse on field calls?
If Gomez hadn’t got sent off, we’d have won comfortably.
I decided to make the tea.Maybe people are off making a brew like I was?
I disagree as fans do still celebrate goals. Sometimes they even get to cheer twice ;-)I’ll never make peace with VAR. I’ll never stop watching City. I’ll constantly be grumpy. About VAR. it’s shite.

I can think of 2, what was the third?Spurs Quarter Final. Next question...
Write to the FA and express your views then.Nobody wants 100% accuracy. That’s why it’s hated. Leave the game to its nuances and 95% / 85% accuracies.
Managers, players, fans, the media. Anyone who had a decision go against them.
And nobody asked for VAR. nobody. Here we are.
“You can see in a stadium whether a goal is contentious or not. Players’ reactions and length of time to make the decision are the biggest indicators.”I disagree as fans do still celebrate goals. Sometimes they even get to cheer twice ;-)
All contentious decisions that go against your side annoy us, whether with VAR or without.
We had a goal ruled out (wrongly) for handball.
We had a penalty given for us (wrongly) for handball.
The ref missed a blatant DOGSO red card which was correctly overturned.
We’ll remember the goal and red card decisions and forget the penalty decision as that’s what happens in football!

I just don’t have the energy to howl at the moon about stuff I can’t affect.
No VAR disallowed goal will hurt as much as the Sterling winner against Spurs, even though I thought Aguero was offside in the build up.
Why would I moan when it’s accurate? Why would I moan about the referee when he is right? That’s not the point mate. Bit weird reply. Bit VARishFair enough. It does seem ingrained with some people. Even if it were 100% accurate, you’d still moan about it!
Celebrate goal. Wait 3 minutes. Stop celebrating. Its insanity to suggest it doesnt spoil it. It doesn't matter about whether it happens for or against city. As a spectacle. As a mode on enjoyment, visceral release, whatever you want to call it, it's being sanitised and thats insanity.It doesn’t spoil it. Tonight’s game was dominated by it. When, if ever, had we had 3 decisions reverse on field calls?
