So using the "It'd take away something fun to talk about at the pub" line of reasoning seems a bit weird.
I would happily have stood in the freezing cold yesterday for ten minutes if it ended up with no penalty given and their player booked for being a cheat. I would have happily given up the chance to moan about it too.
I’m being antagonistic? Aye ok You’ve been picking at a comment I made nearly a week ago and calling me opinion weird, whereas I’ve not commented on your opinion at all Interesting definition of antagonistic
Just caught the last 10 minutes of the Liverpool Spurs game, oh um. I suppose it starts with players lying and cheating but stuff like what just happened can't carry on. A real need for referee assistance one way or another.
That game completely undermined the people who complain about VAR slowing down the game. The amount of time the referee was speaking to his assistant was longer than pretty much all VAR reviews I've ever seen.
I agree but we would have had the chance to go on about how VAR got it right. The ref blew so quickly I was convinced he was going to book the diving cheat. Preston's players' reactions showed it all. They celebrated and congratulated him. They knew, We knew.
In both games today , the actual AR got involved and came to the correct decisions, maybe if they had done that more over the years instead of stood there like statues , we wouldn't need VAR debate
TBH I don’t really think there is a debate. Whether one likes it or not VAR is going to come in for league games.
Correct decision? Spurs were given a penalty despite Harry Kane being offside and barely if at all touched by the keeper.
Was it from a week ago? Apologies. I got a notification and saw your comment as an unread message so thought it was more recent.
No worries We disagree on VAR That’s fine Neither of us will be able to convince the other, at the moment anyway There’s more important things to worry about anyway
The only issue with VAR is how poorly it has been implemented in football. If they did it in exactly the same way as rugby it would be far better.
Watching Liverpool v Tottenham yesterday I predicted (to our lass) a 2-2 result after the penalty miss. Sometimes I wish I was a gambler and could bet in play. Don't know what the odds would have been mind. Anyway, woke up this morning with as much wealth as I had yesterday (not a lot). What would VAR do for those who bet in play?
No doubt SAGs up and down the country will be calling for all flags to be banned. And scarves and anything else which could be held up in front of a camera. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ree-var-aves-boavista-giant-flag-goal-offside
