VAR has aided goals and has resulted in no 0-0 draws so far. I think that it's a good thing but it's still going through teething problems so I wouldn't judge it too harshly just now. One things for sure, now it's been introduced, there's no going back.
They don't want to stop the game so after a goal has been scored the blokes in the VAR box are still watching the various replays when the game has kicked off again. What happens if the goal doesn't stand when the game is already in motion? Does the ref stop the game and give the ball back to the keeper or let it carry on? I get that they don't want to hold up the game for 5 minutes while each goal is assessed but you'd be mightily miffed if you thought it was genuine only to look up at the scoreboard to see it disallowed. Not sure on this modern technology, I say we should bring back terraces, oranges at half time, rush goalie and jumpers for goalposts. Isn't it? Wasn't it? Baked beans for tea? Marvellous!
Probably don't bring back violence, cages, toilets ankle deep in piss and botulism in the burgers. Though I beleve all these things still exist at Loftus Road?
The only violence is when others have caused it and the good folk of W12 have been forced to retaliate, ask Pompey fans about that. The dirty rascals mass-booked the top corner of Ellerslie Road and jumped over into the family stand looking for a fight. That is why the sing-a-long hooligans from the R's now take up that top corner for home games. The toilets are certainly better than the back wall of Craven Cottage where you had to piss on trips to Fulham. We've not had cages at Loftus Road although I felt in fear of my life when visiting the old wooden stand at Crystal Palace as it was all caged off underneath with rubbish piled up under the bleachers. It was a Bradford or Hillsborough waiting to happen. Not sure if this has been changed, I'm talking about 20-odd years ago! Burgers are ****e everywhere imho but we do have a nice line in pies, the chicken tikka Pukka Pie is the stuff of legend. In case anyone missed the reference
Pies at White Hart Lane were pretty good last time I went. The guest pie was chicken balti or some ****, very tasty and not too expensive. Rumour has it the Spuds new ground will stock only poncey hand crafted artisanal lark-tongue hipster pies at Hoxton prices. I vaguely recall the pies at the London Stadium being decent, but I have tried to erase all memory of Saints' most recent visit. Edit; no one missed the reference ffs, and you should never explain a joke, even if no **** laughed.
I got a steak pie at the Etihad last time I went and it was fking unreal. Best pie I'd eaten since the first time I licked a bird out when I was 14. Good times
I should have put the Fast Show clip in the original reply but took the next available opportunity. If I didn't mention it before I don't much care for Southampton FC. There you have it.
You never mentioned it before, but I couldn't give two ****s, and massively dislike any team that plays in blue anyway. So there you have that.
Everyone getting hot under the collar about VAR after the Portugal vs Iran game. Alan Shearer said it was shambolic, at least that's what I think he said.
Sheep Shearer is a ****in **** just like Ian Shight, Roy Keech, Jeremiah J'Anus and all the other cock sucking pundits!! Utter ****s.
Missing the lunchtime games?I'm not too fond of the 3 o'clock ko,last week got home for the 2nd half of all the games but be on me hols next week so will see it all
