Most pundits on TV are 65 years old and waste our time talking about how it was better in their days when the ball was a brick.
Are you a match goer ? All decisions took between 30s and 2min and that's longer than it should. But are you saying people will stop going to games because they cannot take the risk of waiting around 30s at some point in the game to get the correct decision ? Please.
Nothing ever changes unless somebody complains about it. VAR was introduced because people were complaining. The only way to change it is to complain about it.
I’m saying it takes a lot of fun out of the experience and that will definitely impact on people going to games.
So we'll have more fat fecks like Moss ?
And even if Rice hadn’t encroached, Fabianski broke the rules by going off the line.
Did you follow the CL last season? There are still debates about decisions with VAR.
Is that an urging concern of yours ?
- Right lads, live football viewing figures are not good, anybody know why ?
You bunch of old bastards. Bet this is what the internet would have been like if it was around when the back-pass rule got scrapped as wellWhy would you want to know who the best referee is? This is exactly what the lack of VAR has lead to: a generation of self-endorsing celebrity referees who think they're bigger than the game. They thrive off the attention.
That's more about irrational hate for the SS than anything to do with VAR though.
This forum. The first time Liverpool will lose a game because of a VAR decision you will all claim you love it.
Some do bet on that
Because they are paid to create controversy and excitement. If they all agree VAR is an improvement - there is no debate, no big news. Most of them are acting out their emotions. It's all b..sh..t
What a luddite mentality. They work with the tools they have to enhance their role.
That’s what I’m saying. The price of the game is outrageous, atmosphere is dwindling, oil rich clubs rule the league.... this is just another way the experience is lessened. No one is gonna suddenly say “I’m not going because of VAR” but it they feel the sense of irritation of waiting to celebrate a goal or waiting two minutes for a check then yes, it’ll impact on people’s experience and make them less likely to go. I’m already close to jacking it in, this annoys me more so.Is that an urging concern of yours ?

- It costs around 500 pounds a month to follow your team, sir.
- Don't be stupid Johnson, it's got to be this damn VAR !
The OP inadvertently proved that VAR is the best thing to happen to football in decades.
VAR made several correct decisions in the City game but some people don't like VAR so this prompted irritation.
Or on the flip side, it'll get annoying discussing VAR for years on end. Have a sneaky feeling I'm going to be sick of hearing VAR this and VAR that.
people had been complaining for years of injustice and that's why VAR was slowly introduced. Now that VAR is couple of games old and already complains of throw it out. VAR is in infancy at the moment, at least give it some time to mature.
Fair summary
Because it's a difficult job, one that requires physical perfection and alot of study, and I just want to see who does it better, kinda liked Howard Webb in his prime.
When it became wrong for supporters to enjoy their job ?
This but unironically.
But is it any wonder that younger people have lost faith in established institutions & authority in general?
Yes! Let us get rid of VAR but let's not stop there. Get rid of the refs and linesmen too, with their constant annoying whistling and breaking up our beautiful flowing game.
It’s easy to be annoyed with VAR in the city game as it had no affect on the outcome.
How exactly do bad decisions even themselves out ? I'd like for someone to explain me this lunacy
That is not var.. that is goalline technology.
They probably think that 'VAR' is a cryptic anagram of 'EU'.
