People come on to the forum of their own choice they have made that choice , they have the choice of what they read , what they believe , what they choose to disbelieve it’s all about opinions . The people that post on here I believe are genuine honest SAFC fans who have the best interest of the club at heart , needless to say we have our fair share of moaners and doom mongers with a smattering of infiltrators who have nothing better to do than cause disruption to some threads . However you read what they have to say accept their input or disregard their input it’s a forum it’s all about opinions good or bad as I said earlier we ALL have our opinions .

Even if you believe 100%, that someone is making everything up, you don't need to keep repeating it ...

... especially when there's a good chance you may be wrong.

These people never convince anyone of anything ever, totally pointless tbh.

I take everything said on Talksport with a good sized pinch,but,if that's anywhere near correct ,VAR is just not fit for purpose.

complained about it from day one, still used to favour certain teams but now they have the electronic assistant to prove them correct in their obvious bias.

It's almost all objective, either from the ref or the bloke, watching on a telly. They have nowhere near the tools to do the job they claim it can do.

Worse, the paying supporter at the ground is treat like the proverbial mushroom. Sitting there, possibly in the freezing cold or wet, not knowing what the hell is going on , while those at home watch with a cup of tea or a beer, and see all of everything. Sometimes knowing so quickly that it has been possible to text a mate saying " goal" or "penalty". It is an insane state of affairs, and one which demonstrates that football is ran by people who have mostly never played it, and almost certainly never paid to watch it.

Worse, even than that, is the taking away from supporters of the biggest moment a supporter can get; the wild, elemental moment when your team scores. It's now a hopeful, three quarter cheer in so many cases while some goon is trying to prove his job is important by finding some obscure reason to disallow it.

Var is on it's way to ruining football.

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned but it fits this conversation. Anyone see the not given goal in the Huddersfield Blackpool game on Sunday? HawkEye failure

Yeah I saw the replay, it was definitely a goal and as you say the goal line technology failed.
Systems will always be susceptible to failure, but there should be a retrospective system in place to allow the goal to stand even if the game score is altered after the game has finished and points adjusted accordingly if necessary.
