VAR has ruined top level football.

[Sea to Shining Sea]

There’s so much crap ruining it at the highest level. VAR is certainly part of it, uninterested supporters with camera phones, elite club dictatorship and greed, everyone else trying to copy them, play acting players, whining managers.

Despite all that, it’s still the greatest game on the planet. And I still want Sunderland and England to mix it with the best

It’s not man. It was level. Look at that picture. That’s not offside.

It is. His foot is ahead

You can argue that there needs to be a margin of error, but as the rule stands he’s off

It is offside. The picture shows it. You must be looking at the wrong one.

 

[Geppetto]

Say what you want its ruined football. Hopefully it doesn't stay around forever and branch into the championship. What a joke every single match I watch

How? Did they get the decision wrong today?

This one?

Yep. That's the one that shows he's offside.

 

[Nelson!]

The best interpretation used to be “daylight” between the players….sadly the swots and nerds have got their way and now we are watching more tech than football.

 

[HellsBells]

Yep. That's the one that shows he's offside.

He’s level.

Point of the thread proven. We are still arguing over what it shows and VAR has ruined footy. It certainly hasn’t made it better has it?

Too much money in football for it to ever go unfortunately. In years to come fans of a certain age wont go mental when they score theyll instead stare at a screen for 5 mins

Then have diluted celebrations. Its dreadful especially the way its used

Having said all that worth it for the covarntry fans tears tonight

 

[HellsBells]

You add in the Forest malarkey over the VAR ref and it’s made footy worse. It’s a waste of time. It hasn’t stopped controversy.

 

[dangermows]

He’s level.

He isn't level. He's just off. As the lines show. And hence they used that to give him off.

You're simply not happy that it's so marginal. Fair enough. But it's there in front you, he's just offside.

VAR has ruined football ffs

 

[Doberman]

In that statement from Nottingham Forest about considering their options with VAR etc, Jamie Carragher said afterwards "what they gonna do? Just stop playing?"

Yes! Maybe if that Scouse prick and his pals had the same amount of bollocks to start calling this nonsense out we might get somewhere.

We don't want an improved version of VAR, we don't want a different version, a quicker version, automated, semi automated or any other f***ing version of this shite.

Bin it.

 

[dangermows]

If VAR's 'ruined' football then you probably never liked the sport that much anyway.

Ruined it ffs. Grown men don't half go on bairns when it comes to VAR and referees.

Grown women too tbf.

You’re only arguing because you can’t accept the facts

Have you ever been inside a stadium where a goal has been ruled out for VAR ?

That picture looks level to me. Ergo VAR doesn’t stop the controversial decisions.

it is level but Dangermows is doing his usual.

Boring.

 

[Henry_Hill]

I also thought they were fortunate to be awarded their penna for handball against the Utd defender.

Never a penalty

What difference would that make in general? They'd just be heals instead of toe ends involved in it

Correct. It's offside. If they want to argue there should be margins, fair enough. But he's offside.
