The thing for me is virtually no one is in favour of VAR...so why do we have it ?

It's time for organised protests otherwise the game will be ruined and there will be no going back. It's already getting to that point and we just accept it and carry on paying to watch the damn thing.
 
Absolutely this. Especially giving the fact that the ball had beaten the defender and the only thing that stopped it going into the middle of the box was the defenders hand. Its a stonewaller, imo.

Obviously it should be noted i'm judging/reffing by League One standards. <laugh>

There’s nothing wrong with VAR as a tool to rid the game of blatantly obvious mistakes made by referees and linemen, the issue is the way it’s being used combined the current ridiculous IFAB handball rule.
 
I actually think they played pretty well in spells. We’ve lost or drawn to a WBA side that’s been far more defensive and time wasteful than that in the past.

We were gash for the most part, Kane again just stepping up and doing the business thankfully. What a player he is.

Wrong place for this kinda footy chat bro
 
Is it the real Alan Smith co-commentating or an AI version ?

You just can't tell these days as the same trite phrases are repeated game after game.

Get rid of him...
Get rid of Var...
Get rid of overpaid pundits...

Make football more affordable and reduce subscription, match tickets costs.

Rise up people...you've sleepwalked into sporting and financial exploitation and it's time to take back control <laugh>
 
Roy Keane disagreeing with the others <laugh>

I agree with him, yes, it's harsh, but it's a pen.

You been in a coma for 20 years mate?

Oh sorry my bad, you’re a Leeds fan, this is all new to you. As you were.......
 
Penalty decisions have always been contentious, but now we seem to rely on blaming VAR. I just take VAR out of it, would I have given it, yep all day long.

Unfortunately there's too many people who were led to believe it would be brilliant and now can't see the evidence in front of their face.

Game's gone forever and we'll never get it back. You lot ain't even experienced it live yet.
 
Anyone else think that Wolves seem to have regressed a bit? Were really exciting to watch at times in their first season but seem to be so dull now.

VAR just needs a few adjustments. The refs are the main problem, but they're not going to improve in the current circumstances.
We need to change the way that they're treated on the pitch and start picking up academy players that don't make it.

Who'd want to be a ref at the moment? ****ed off everywhere and disrespected every time they take to the pitch.
Nobody takes it up at the bottom end unless they're mental, so the top end are ****e too.
