How anyone can be against VAR is beyond me
Outdated ideas of the game, people were always going to shit on it, the fact it hasn’t been perfected has given its naysayers an even bigger platform. They’ll all get used to it eventually.

Taison seems like he might be too good for the Ukrainian league, wonder why nobody's taken a punt on him yet.

And on that note: why wasn't VAR involved here?(i mean, the end result would have been the same since he was already on a yellow, but still, straight red is wrong)

Milan tried, shakhtar refused to sell. IIRC he kinda went off against the club for that, but i guess they made up

2-0!!!

Is this Dodo the same player we were linked in 2009. I am not sure how many here remember but after signing Silva brothers and Possebon, there were rumours of us approaching a highly talented 15 year old Brazilian defender. I doubt if this is same Dodo considering this Dodo is just 21.

Edit: Just googled and found this is not the same Dodo. The Dodo we were linked plays for Cruzerio.

Well in, Atalanta! 1 point after 4 games and now they're on the verge of qualifying for the knockouts, absolutely mental!

Something definitely not right in that Atalanta game. The decision to send off the Donetsk player was ridiculous. Muriel not sent off before that. When you see stuff like that I can’t help but feel there is corruption in football.

Ref royalle fecked Shakhtar there. Most blatant red card omitted for Muriel who created the first Atalanta goal.

The idea of VAR is splendid but it turns to horror when I see goals being ruled out for an offside toe nail or a knee. I'm pretty sure in a couple of years FIFA will notice less goals are being scored which is the worst thing that can happen to football. On the other hand we will see a rise of penalties due to VAR which I also find negative, I always thought it was a cheap way to go in front. Plus let's not forget football is physical game, touching someone's shoulder and then dropping like a boulder is not supposed to be part of the game.

Atalanta first team ever which qualified to the CL KO stage after having just 1 point after 4 games.
