Perhaps but the delay will be because of the archaic dinosaurs running the game. People are ruining it, not tech.
Nah not having that it's a combination of the 2 the tech isn't ready so why use it? The people are **** yes and there will always be mistakes to argue over but the current delays in play and the fact that a goal is no longer a goal means that the sport I loved is not what it was. It's a disgrace and we should remove VAR in its current form immediately but that's not going to happen.

I sort of like it. For 90% of goals you know that VAR isn’t getting involved.
The ones where you get a decision within a minute or so, they are good. It’s either the team that scored gets to celebrate again or the oppo fans get a go.

there are instances where good decisions have been ruined by VAR. but also when VAR stepped in to correct a mistake(foul in FA cup by Milwall keeper)
 
Football is about debate and arguments, but we don't need geeks drawing ****ing lines. I see tonight they were discussing if the wall in the freekick was the correct distance or something, because the SKY technology measures it, just **** off with this tech bollocks. The only reason we have VAR is for crying pussies like Arteta....hmmm suppose that's a good reason to keep it actually.

Anyway why did Arteta storm off from the interview, I guess United anal fisted his dreams into oblivion.
Fernandez was only 11.2yrds away from the wall when he scored his free kick today meaning Liverpool are lucky that arsenal haven’t had strikers since game week 2

Yeah I get that argument.
Just get all decisions to be made by AI. Won’t be far away now. No person required on pitch. Just an AI announcer. All decisions objective and immediate.

All decisions can't be objectively as basically every rule carries a subjective element to it outside of pitch markings and who ball came off etc

Nah it's ****e. The celebrating twice nonsense is the biggest myth ever imo.

Nothing beats the feeling of the ball hitting the back of the net and that's basically a thing of history now.
 
When Leicester won the league, the team in second place finished on 71 points. I have a feeling this season will beat that. Definitely the weakest I’ve ever seen this league.

One of the weakest but one of the most interesting at the same time, ie Man U unlikely to get top half and Forest and Bournemouth competing for champions league.

Why are you typing messages on a football forum rather than discussing these sorts of things in person at a fan meet convention??

Because the idea of football being refereed by AI makes me want to shoot myself in the head.

I'd rather eat my own **** than go to a fan meet convention, whatever the **** that is.
<ok>

Wasn’t weak when fergie was sweeping up titles with 70/80pts for years

Right guys?
 
He's taken them as far as he can, done a good job tbf but he seems to lack the mentality/calm head that gets you over the line. His team play like hotheads which is what he is. They still have a chance but it's looking more and more in our favour.

Mate, the only chance they have is, no ****ing...
