VARguments


I honestly don’t think fans are going to stop celebrating because they are worried VAR will rule a goal out, it’s raw emotion when the ball hits the net and i can’t see that ever changing. Fans still celebrate when the lineman’s flag is up 5 seconds before the ball is put in the net

If you know every goal is gonna be under review of course you'll hold back.

When the goal was 1 inch offside, yes I would. How can you expect any assistant ref to give that decision in real time? There sis a grey area with offsides where whatever decision is given stands.

There are no grey areas with offside - it isn't down to individual interpretation, you're either offside or you're not. It's identical to goalline decisions, it is a factual yes or no. Man City had a goal ruled out, because it was necessarily an invalid goal.

It works both ways though doesn’t it? Suppose that was us who got an injury time winner chalked off, or it was us who conceded and had it overruled correctly

I don’t get people’s issue - when we celebrate a goal we go mad. If it gets ruled out then tough shit, it’s the correct decision. If it doesn’t, we go mad a
Second time

End of the day it’s a sport. And you can’t have wrong decisions made especially at the top level of the sport where the margins are so tight

Exactly. Can you imagine the buzz if you were a Spurs fan at the end there. Sick of your life then 30 seconds later its absolute scenes everywhere and you havent even scored. Id argue it will lead to even more emotion in a ground. Plenty goals have been scored last few minutes that shouldnt have been given and VAR seems to provide a lifeline for whoever has conceded to celebrate aswell.

Every goal is under review....why would they suddenly not use it for certain goals?

But every goal isn’t going to make the fans concerned it will be ruled out. If someone scored a goal from 30 yards, the fans aren’t going to stay seated in case the ref goes to VAR, they will celebrate like they do now

The argument has nothing to do with whether the right decision has been made - I'm saying it's spoiling it for people who go to the matches and care deeply about the result.
Did you see when the camera went to the Spurs fans after the goal was disallowed? Half of them were just standing there.

So you pick and choose which goal you go mad to?

VAR was used perfectly and it got the decision right.
