I was all for VAR but its implementation has been a disaster.

I thought we'd just have someone checking if the ball went over the goal line and flagging an obvious offside if the linesman couldn't keep up.

But counting pixels for 5 minutes is insane, it's just killing it.

Then the pauses after goals, nah, enough. Let's go back

The offside decisions on VAR are totally stupid. If you are going to use such precise tec then it should start from the standing position of the players involved not from when they are on the move.
Can you imagine someone of the height of Peter Crouch sprinting against a defender whilst leaning foward, his head and shoulders would most often be offside <laugh>
Seriously though, i go back to the reason for offside which is "seeking to gain unfair advantage". Being faster to react or see a passing oppertunity is not seeking an advantage it is being good at the game.
 
We need more VAR when it's required to rule out goals for Liverpool next Sunday.
 
Didn’t think the one VAR deemed not worthy of a red just before half time from Nunez was all that different to what the Arsenal mascot got sent off for at Wolves.


Referee couldn’t wait to give the penalty too. Small clubs aren’t getting those.

****ing hell the second penalty too.

It was a welcome relief from Britains got no talent, celebrity squares or something equally as tedious and casualty. I think you living in Brighton is starting to take its toll <laugh>

Gave it ten minutes then the missus wanted to watch ‘A Thousand Blows’. Very good series based on a true story with Stephen Graham loosely about bareknuckle boxing but more about female gangs back in whenever it’s set. Early 20th century probably.

Great banter potential in today’s games.

2-2s in the Pompey, Spurs and United games are a must.

Pompey then your lot away, 2 grounds we have **** records in, draw today could be on the cards, it's a game I've not looked forward to for a while, actually think there’s every possibility we could lose our unbeaten record there.

We couldn’t be more on the beach if we were on the pitch in Union Jack swimming shorts shouting loudly at Spanish waiters.
 
I'm sure Jeff is still watching reruns of it whilst ****ing himself silly in his mancave

Poor Jeff. Think he’s blocked me. You have to wonder about anyone who puts their full name, picture and email address on this forum.

Our last home game is Burnleh and final game is Sunderland so we’ve got plenty of bending over to do yet to heat up the title race.

He does seem a tad strange, especially for a man of his years.

If we do lose, he'll be like a coiled spring being released to get on our forum and especially have a dig at me, the sad ****

I’ll be joining him.

Can get you a ticket if you fancy. Know they’re very hot on not selling to away fans for this one.
