Re: VAR
But also:
It's a complete fucking nonsense of a system. It's not 100 % accurate, it's open to human error and cheating, it's turned a fast fluid sport into a stoppy starty pile of shit, and it has taken away what little joy was left in modern football - the celebration of goals.
It has got to be fucking binned.

Re: VAR
Not a chance of it being binned, it creates suspense and uncertainty for the TV viewers, ratchets up the excitement and gives real meaning to the decisions, who cares how fans in stadiums feel
Oh I nearly forgot the comedy element of watching fans celebrations turn to disgust

Oh we all know it won't be binned because fucking idiots run the game. The point is it should be binned.GoonerMuzz wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 4:00 pmNot a chance of it being binned, it creates suspense and uncertainty for the TV viewers, ratchets up the excitement and gives real meaning to the decisions, who cares how fans in stadiums feel

I'd disagree it creates suspense. It creates dread, anger, resentment, disbelief and boredom... but not suspense.
And it certainly doesn't ratchet up the excitement. It kills the excitement of the game. Waiting two to five minutes for an offside decision kills excitement. Watching some stupid fine line decision rule out a goal after 5 minutes of checking and rechecking kills excitement.
If I could change only one thing about the modern game it would be binning the complete shitpile that is VAR.

Re: VAR
I will never, in a million years, understand how the Luiz one was a) a pentalty and b) a red card. The attacking players foot actually hit Luiz' knee, not the other way around. That game was a total fuck-fest and Pawson screwed us compleltly. Firstly he purposely played over the added time in the first-half which lead to the oemtslty and then he gave it (backed up by the mong viewing the VAR).
I have no doubt in my mind that some Far East betting company made a lot of money on that game, and this season. The only way to explain such piss poor, and shocking, officiating is to conclude that English officials are crooked.

Yep, before it was questionable - I think this season has confirmed beyond doubt that it is bent.Arsenal Till I Die wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 2:42 amI will never, in a million years, understand how the Luiz one was a) a pentalty and b) a red card.

Re: VAR
I see the premier league are going to draw thicker lines when judging offsides next season to try and not have so many finger nail goals chalked off.
Thicker fucking lines
And no I am not making that up

How can they think that will make a blind bit of difference.

Re: VAR
The thicker lines will be drawn over someone’s toe presumably, so you can’t see it peeking through

Re: VAR
The International Football Association Board [IFAB] - football's lawmakers - does not specify a maximum thickness of lines, under the laws of the game.

Could always just draw a bendy line to declare the Arsenal player offside.
