    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.

    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...

    Not even that is true when it comes to the amount of **** ups you've made <laugh>

    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.

    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.

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

  11. 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.

    6 trophies in the last 6 seasons. How many decades required for spurs last 6 trophies?

    I’ll take our chances over yours thanks <laugh>

  13. 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.

    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.

  20. 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.
