Spot on 👍🏼 I feel it undermines the whole ethos of football. It is a dynamic game and ref mistakes (assuming they are always honest ones) were part of the dynamism. VAR is turning real football into American football. Ponderous and full of wank breaks (which suddenly will become advert breaks you see) and the decision-making is no better over anything that was not obvious to begin with. How is it Rugby is able to do this so well while Football is so shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, so Spurs may not have got their 3rd goal and Sterling’s injury-time ‘winner’ should’ve stood just cos Rosenberg v Celtic didn’t have VAR six months ago? 🤷🏼♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I want football to be a breathless torment like it is now. Not a game for big fat yank cunts who can suck on an O2 tank between 'plays'.
