This is becoming utter nonsense, we shouldn't be using pinpoint accuracy to deside an offside, it's destroying the whole sportsmanship of the game.

I was purposely loose with the stats, for comedic purposes, but my general point remains valid. You're in a mess, and you're just as likely to fail under Arteta as succeed.

I understand you being shirty, but that's tough ****, after the years of abuse you gave us, when we were struggling in the quagmire of mid table obscurity to find the consistency to enable us to sustain success. You're getting it both barrels, I'm afraid.

You're going to find that it isn't easy to do what Spurs did.

Our ambition isn’t to do what spurs did <laugh> - why would we aspire to never winning anything? We could finish bottom half of the table and still be a bigger, more attractive club with more chance of success than spurs.

By loose with the stats you mean ****ing up again as usual right? It’s ok we are all used to your failings, you don’t have to do this dance where you lie to cover your **** ups and we all laugh at you because we know you are lying. Much better to just own your **** ups... though it does happen a lot...

why he was offside mate ! are you suggesting it would be better that teams lose goals just to keep people happy

I've said repeatedly that I'd rather a wrong decision rather than spending 2/3 minutes deciding if someone is 2mm offside or not.

It's against the spirit of the game to disallow goals when it's that close and no real advantage has been gained.

It's not even 100% accurate so you can't even say with absolute certainly that he was off.

The Celtic v Rangers game today, the ref made mistakes, but it was a far more enjoyable game without VAR.

I agree with this.

However, if we get rid of VAR, we will all go back to slaughtering refs. The agenda is to take the heat off refs.

And that poor ref will suffer death threats from the usual idiots.

VAR puts an end to that.

spirit of the game to me involves in getting big calls right and that was offside , so for me once again VAR proves it's worth
 
Suppose we can at least all say Liverpool cheated their way to the title, by changing 100 years of football gamemanship.

Fook off was it offside, how did his hand have an advantage, would it help if he had the oppositions cock in his hand to play it onside.

They need to get rid of this monstrocity. Players and fans will give up celebrating before long, and waiting for the VAR decision on it.

VAR is good mate people should embrace it for the great things it does … the focus is far too much on the negatives … there was a major reason it was brought in and it was people moaning about decisions

I'm not talking about a single incident, I'm talking about the armpit offside decisions in general where no advantage has been gained.

There's a 10cm margin of error so anything less than that is basically guesswork.

VAR offers the media the opportunity to manipulate games and results in a manner that Sky finds most fitting.

I'm not saying they will go that far, merely observing that that opportunity exists.
