    But i'm not going to be positive about it, I'm sick and tired of people wanting to ruin the game with technology. You got yer goal-line technology and that is where it should have ended, but no one rule leads to another, and now we have this monstrosity. We survived perfectly fine for a century without it. The ref howlers were always the talking points down the boozer, but it's what made the game. We just seem to pamper to every little thing these days. Stick half these players on rugby field and they wouldn't last two minutes, before they were down crying.

    sportsmanship was gone from this game decades ago when players started diving to win pens and running around saying sshhh. The reason VAR was brought in was to stop that kind of thing happening and it's worked in some areas … Like I say there's things need looking at , but I will not yield my position as far as the good things its eliminated from the game.. I don't know how more reasonable I can be tbh

    So you want VAR to fix clear mistakes, but allow allow little mistakes? How little does a mistake have to be to count?

    Something that can be seen with the naked eye without needing to draw lines and having to spending 3/4 minutes deciding. If you can’t see the mistake clearly on the first replay it ain’t clear and obvious, it’s not complicated.

    Where you don’t need a ****ing slide rule to measure a millimeters offside.

    The Wolves one was obvious by eye. They draw the lines because they have to not because they need them.

    Why wasn't all of this discussion going on when Firmino's goal was ruled offside?

    Edit:

    I should add that I supported VAR in principle, but it’s being totally misused and abused as things stand.
