With VAR and Fergusons retirement, the integrity of the game has been restored. Because some of the ref jobs at Old Trafford in the era of Fergie were criminal.
I had to go back to read that ,
VAR is an unmitigating disaster and it's obvious that the way it's run here that the pitch referee is no longer the principal arbiter because the referees are not up to the job and their standard has in fact gone down as they are undermined by the decision maker in a studio at Stockley Park.
Taking a breath now after that totally unpunctuated rant.
I fear for today it's almost as if things are being prompted to promote a points deduction.

Mate, exactly my sentiments, I wish to share your pre-match rant.
Bad enough that we have to contend with hometown refs and the Russian/Salford roulette it brings but this cluster f.uck of a system fills me with dread. Been a while since I've had a whole butterfly farm in the gut.
We can take this shower of horrible c.unts any day, any season , 11 versus 11 but this games history is littered with official cheating of the highest order. All of which the media and pundits are happy to turn a blind eye to. Today feels like it's going to be one of those days ...... you can nearly smell it.
F.ucking VAR

F.ucking hate it . From day 1. Helps suck the soul out of football even more. As a fan is there a greater feeling that that split second of adrenalin and euphoria when the ball hits the back of the net. Now you expect a f.ucking VAR call for everything and pump the air mutedly like a thalidomide cheer leader as you wait for the reality show drama to be played out. From talking to younger guys they all seem to have bought into this VAR b.ollix but then again when you've been reared on love Island, drip fed tik tok for breakfast and know the whole Kardashian family line up as opposed to your clubs history what chance have you got.
PreVAR , have we got screwed over, yes we have ....but we also got the rub of the green as has every team . Goes in roundabouts, you win some , you lose some, but now instead of dealing with the fragilities of human error and a nice liberal dose of corruptness occasionally, you have to go another full round getting slapped by the exact same thing in the form of the out of control monster that is VAR.
Feels like the old Arsenal though . Feels like the whole world wants us to fuck up and happy to help fuck us up. F.uck it , siege mentality it us, bring it on, will be all the sweeter if we turn over these c.unts today.
COYG!
