Well, we have this complete fuck nugget called Clive "playing" for us.
We also had Aubamewingie miss a sitter to equalise.
And we had Martinez-Lite at the peak of his "I'm a football genius" egomania. I seem to recall Ohdeargod getting booked for time wasting at one nil in the SEVENTY THIRD MINUTE. Yep, quelle surprise that an attempt to sit back and defend for twenty minutes with Clive at the heart of our midfield did not work.
And finally the ref and VAR were on a complete pisstake as evidenced by the stud marks on Tommy's face.

don't forget Eddie hitting the post with a header from 1cm out
We have the cuuuunts at home last day of the season, would be quite delicious to relegate them to oblivion with a drubbing.

Oof yeah.... how the fuck did he miss that from that distance? Fuck me if you tried to miss from that distance you couldn't!

PSG are incredibly spursy, absolute bottlers time and time again.
That’s Poch at united next season coz he’ll get the bullet here.
Poxychinos is Bielsa-Lite. All he needs now is a stupid fucking bucket to sit on so the soccer fanboys can hail his "genius" as one of the "like best coaches in like the world, yah don't you like know, Jerome".
How the actual fuck has the Brighton keeper not been sent off for assaulting Diaz
Another blatant example of the deliberate sabotage of VAR
Schumacher 82.
It's not deliberately sabotaging of VAR mate. VAR is just that shit. It is not fit for purpose. It kills the flow of games and it still relies on human beings to know what they're doing so it hasn't eliminated the weak link in the chain. I'd honestly rather go back to just getting fucked over by referees and letting the game flow, instead of having to wait a few minutes to get fucked over by some moron in a room watching TV.
I'll say it again: just because the technology exists does not mean it should be used. If it was flawless and not open to cheating then fine great let's use it. But it isn't.
If I could change any two things in modern football (outside of killing half the players) it would be to shit can VAR and change this stupid fucking offside rule. Someone is going to have their career ended while the game temporarily goes on after a clear offside - and all for nothing but some possible hypothetical advantage to the defending side.
The most blatant red card you will ever see and he doesn't even get a yellow,damn sure if tht was Ramsdale he'd be in prison
I'm just gobsmacked the unpunished assault was against a victim* player! If it had been the mouser* keeper doing a Schumacher 82 impression I'd have no problem believing him getting away with it.

I think you've answered the point yourself mate. It relies on people knowing what they've doing....indeed it does. Makes you wonder then when 4 people in the studio and thousands watching all concur and yet they don't even ask the referee to review it ?
I've said it many times - football is the world's most backward looking sport run by some of the most backwards looking people. The technology works fine - every angle conclusively proved the keeper should have walked. People as thick as Rio Ferdinand could see it
The Premier League never wanted to use it, so they are deliberately causing stir after stir until eventually the cavemen say "well we gave it a go and it didn't work"

Outrageous misuse of tech that works just fine
But it doesn't. It cannot determine by itself if a player is offside for instance.
So it will always need the human input. The very concept is wrong. The problem is the shit slow sports like towel flicking are shit and slow so video refs and all that old bollocks don't slow the game or ruin the spectacle. Football is different to every other sport. It needs to flow. Constant stoppages and delays while a mupoet draws lines across a pitch on a screen ruin that spectacle.
It has nothing to do with the game being backward thinking. It's to do with the enjoyment of the game. Celebrating a goal is a burst of adrenaline and dopamine second only to sex! But to see a goal go in and then wait while a fuckwit looks at a screen for 5 minutes or to have it ruled out because of an innocuous infringement 3 minutes before in the build up is soul destroying and sucks the enjoyment out of the game.

Happy to respectfully disagree mate. I know what you're saying about the flow of the sport and that bit is definitely true. Cricket, tennis and rugby have more natural pauses for sure. However with the exception of hawkeye which triggers automatically almost all the decisions in those sports rely on human intervention and decision making - did the ball pitch in line, was the ball touched down over the try line, was the catch grounded etc......and you don't hear people moaning about the outcome because the officials know what they're doing. In football, you can't tell me that a half decent ref doesn't think that the Brighton keeper walks today?? Fuck me, like you say it was bordering on Schumacher 82.
Football doesn't want VAR to work. I agree that the line drawing is crazy - maybe scrap it for marginal offsides. However, certain clubs (Mickeys and Mancs) have got away with fucking murder for years and any half decent ref should be able to view a potential sending off or handball in an instant and make a proper decision. There's no more judgement involved than a high tackle in rugby for example. The most backward thinking sport bar none

Literally, the bunch of thieving, job shy, murdering cu.nts.
I just want VAR gone it was supposed to eradicate un-fair decisions or where the ref/officials were un-sighted, instead it has become a means by which to over analyse the game to within a gnats breath and remove that part of the game we all love the "Excitement" and "Ecstatic Celebration" of goals.
It has removed the Spontaneity for the fans and I dare say the players as well.
Also allowed the utterly corrupt Reilly and his inept cunty officials to wedge up their hidden bank accounts. (I don't know if that last bit is true - BUT Reilly is definitely a C.U.N.T).
But to see a goal go in and then wait while a fuckwit looks at a screen for 5 minutes or to have it ruled out because of an innocuous infringement 3 minutes before in the build up is soul destroying and sucks the enjoyment out of the game.
