The Real Buh 3,365 Posted December 28, 2019 Never before have we had this existential threat of football being totally ruined before. It’s genuinely disturbing. VAR is worrying ex-pros, analysts, fan groups but not the people in charge. Had there ever been a more clear message that we, as football going customers are just pure scum to these people. i can’t see this ending any other way than thousands of fans flocking to lower league football and the premier league being surrendered to people watching on TV in the Far East. It’s a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Mass Debater 1,071 Posted December 28, 2019 I have a conspiracy theory. For 20+ years we the fans have called for VAR and FIFA have resisted. Behind every other sport, they were reluctantly persuaded. 'OK. Let zem have their video decisions. We will enforce it to the letter. We will ruin ze game, zen zey will BEG us to get rid of it, and we need never speak of this again' At least, thats what Im hoping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real Buh 3,365 Posted December 28, 2019 I’m going with betting irregularities earning some people thousands of pounds. The refs have got to be in on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chumino 57 Posted December 28, 2019 Seriously if disallowing Pukki's goal doesn't act as the catalyst to every football fan whatever flavour in kickstsarting a grassroots groundswell movement to kick var out of the beautiful game I honestly despair for the future of the game. Its killing the game in the grounds. Absolutely disgraceful, the tech and application is not working. That goal was a great goal within the rules throughout time.

Sooty57 403 Posted December 29, 2019 Why oh why are they so insistent on a players shoulder possibly being one mm offside, but then allow Spurs to take the free kick that resulted in a goal 3-4 yards further back from where it was awarded, thus giving the taker a better chance of getting it over the wall and back down into the goal?

It’s English refs in an English League. So it’s an easy fix, tell the f**king VAR referee if it ain’t obviously wrong, go with the on field referees decision....

The Real Buh 3,365 Posted December 29, 2019 we need a massive banner that just says “Pukki Was Onside” we can use it every time he is inevitably screwed out of a legitimate goal in the upcoming games by corrupt officials Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
