I was at the England game, went for a piss just as we were attacking for the second goal so hung around the top of the stairwell and saw the goal go in. I went crackas and then went for me piss, got back to my seat and was sure we were 2-1 up until a mate asks whether I thought it was offside.
VAR is absolutely shite.
VAR is absolutely shite.
Weird how clubs all voted it in then isn't it?
Why is it weird? All owned by Billionaire foreigners, why Would they care?

If they used it as originally intended there wouldn't be any issues. IMO it is only to be used in a CLEAR situation where the ref has made a mistake

Yeah, cos they've got a history of doing things for the interests of the fans haven't they?
You're right.
I think they must've done it just to annoy people.

Exactly, I was in line and didn't see it as obviously offside. I though he was in-line.
Ashley seems to do a decent job of annoying the majority of mags mind.

They do what they are told. If FIFA / UEFA / The FA want to do something that will increase the marketability of their game , theres nothing that any club is going to do to stop it .
I posted on another thread the same point : its blatant how the commentators and pundits have been told to big it up. You could tell Gary Neville thought it was a farce and totally unnecessary., yet he said through gritted teeth, 'I think its good for the game '.
Any match going fan will hate it and rightfully so
Could they do umpire's / ref's call in the close cases like they do with cricket? If Lingard was less than a foot offside then stick with the onfield decision that the goal stands.

Too sensible mate.

Aye, seems weird that he thinks they should have more say on how football is run than fans just because they own a football club.

I agree, but it's needed for those big bad decisions in important games when there's an injustice.

Yep, the obvious ones. It wouldn't have been an injustice if that second goal had stood.
Just because owners vote for something doesn't mean its the right decision like, the top 7 want more of the TV rights, European super leagues etc, does that make them right.

Some horrible calls..common sense does not come into it..that Liverpool penalty..spoiled the game imo
But imagine if we had VAR with maradonas hand ball?
