You knew they were well offside (which they weren't) but you also knew it wouldn't be ruled out? This makes no sense to me at all.I knew Rashford (Cavani) was well offside the moment it went in but I still went mad celebrating because I knew they weren’t going to rule it out.
You just can’t humanly go against Old Traffords roar when they’ve been in such a long drawn out depression for the past few months.
There is life in football after all.
You realise that's a bit mad given how few goals are actually ruled out?I don't think I've celebrated a goal immediately in 22 years since Keane and Sheringham had late offside calls against Arsenal & Juve in like the space of a week.
You need to snap out of it. You've developed a defence mechanism that serves its purpose about 3% of the time and are depriving yourself of joy 97% of the time.Exactly. Defense mechanism!
Come on man, of course we enjoy them. But this new start stop start celebration is so obviously inferior to football pre-VAR I find it really hard to work out why anyone wouldn’t find it a problem. We’ve made the most joyous moments as a fan less enjoyable. How is that not an issue for you?The amount of mistakes directly affecting the scoreline have decreased. It's something that cannot be denied. I'll enjoy more my team scoring legit goals even if it means I have to delay my celebration a little. We're not kids anymore are we ?
How would you feel if the assistant had flagged Cavani offside (wrongly) and it ended 0-0 because there was no VAR to overrule it.Come on man, of course we enjoy them.

Every time people try to explain to me VAR is better it’s like they’re talking to someone with no experience of the alternative. I know what it’s like to occasionally be on the end of a bad decision (not least because it’s still fecking happening!) and, for me, that was a price worth paying to do without the relentless irritations of VAR.How would you feel if the assistant had flagged Cavani offside (wrongly) and it ended 0-0 because there was no VAR to overrule it.
That’s basically it. That’s why we need to live with VAR. The positives outweigh the negatives IMO.
As others have said, I celebrate twice. It will just take a bit of getting used to the new normal - that’s it. Happens in other major sports as well (cricket, critical points in tennis etc.).
Getting the big match deciding decisions right is far more important than delayed celebrations.
My enjoyment of goals hasn't been that affected and I haven't let VAR annoy me to that same extent of yours. Is it ideal ? Of course not but is it that much of a problem to the point where I'd rather see offside goals be allowed ? Hell no.Come on man, of course we enjoy them.

Still perplexing to me that there are people who don't think it has made the game less enjoyable overall.Bump. I fecking hate VAR.
100% agree. VAR is the worst idea that has ever come to fruition.Still perplexing to me that there are people who don't think it has made the game less enjoyable overall.
No. This is not your tax return. It is emotions and entertainment.Celebrations are brief, results is more important.
Yes emotions, world cup 2022 was full of it, no problem. The game has changed, but there's still a lot of emotions and celebrations. Not much has changed.No. This is not your tax return. It is emotions and entertainment.
Same for me. I have outgrown a certain aspect of footballI'd rather have my celebration uninterrupted than see the right decision occur.
I don't think it's the worse idea but it's poorly implemented. I wish they would give goals when it's a really close call and only use it to rule out obviously incorrect goals, kind of like they had the "give the advantage to the attacker" offside rule in the past.100% agree. VAR is the worst idea that has ever come to fruition.
100000000%I'd rather have my celebration uninterrupted than see the right decision occur.
Exactly. 9 times out of 10 you can tell if it was on or off if you’re paying attention to the defensive line.I don't know about this, I mean if you think about potential goals that can be scored, free kicks and penalties aren't ruled out for VAR. Long range strikes, individual goals, goals from corners will be very rarely ruled out. It's really only borderline offsides that you might be reluctant to celebrate, fouls in the build-up are fairly rare
100%No. This is not your tax return. It is emotions and entertainment.
Also 100%I'd rather have my celebration uninterrupted than see the right decision occur.
Excellent way to put it and so true!No. This is not your tax return. It is emotions and entertainment.
