lake district canary 4,831 Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Still annoyed, even furious still, after that marvellous goal being disallowed by var......but.......we have to get used to it for at least the rest of this season and just be even better. Refs, var officials (who are just refs by another name) are always going to favour big teams whether they mean to or not, so we just have to rise above them and the wretched var. I'm still wondering what effect it will have on players and whether attackers will start to be more tentative about their runs. Pukki did everything right according to the rules of the game and yet was still penalised. I hope it doesn't stop them from being positive about making those runs. The other thing is that it isn't good to carry anger around and two days later to still be feeling an anger about something is not good. I'm probably not the only one, but var - or more accurately the way var is being used - is just so annoying and the sense of injustice is more because it is so clear that the goal should have stood. What is worse is that I suspect var officials will defend their use of the var technology, or say they will make it more accurate, but really for offsides the rules on var have to change. Will they do it? I suspect not, because var gives them more control - and officials like to have control. It's like the car that is parked in a parking bay with it's bumper half an inch over the white line......you will get some parking wardens who will give the car a ticket for that......I know because that happens where I live......you can't argue with it because technically they are right, but morally they are just being over officious. Some will give it, some won't. Just like refs. The trouble with var is that they have millions of people watching what they do and if the technology makes it look as if a player is offside, they have to give it. So the use of var HAS to change. The game depends on it. Edited December 30, 2019 by lake district canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Van wink 2,994 Posted December 30, 2019 I was told by an old boy that when he is in the ground and we score he leaks urine, when VAR rules the goal out he leaks some more. Not very fair is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real Buh 3,765 Posted December 30, 2019 We don’t have to get used to it as football fans I think we’ve just about done enough “getting used to it” i, for one, am sick of being treated like scum for going to watch football. we shouldn’t just “get used to it” we need to take direct action. They want to treat football fans like an inconvenience? We should show them just how inconvenient we can be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,680 Posted December 30, 2019 Why should the majority of football get used to it. Just because half a dozen clubs in the Prem, who sack their manager if they don't finish in a CL spot, say the game is too important, the rest have to genuflect.

If the fans do want to organise something, that'd probably be the time to do it... would give us a couple of weeks to plan what we're going to do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,610 Posted December 30, 2019 We all went to school with a kid like Dermot Gallagher or Mike Riley it I suspect most of these other premier league refs. Overwhelming self confidence given little or no actually ability, took themselves very seriously. Most probably given a hard time by the people who could actually play sport. Now they’ve got the power and the limelight and they love it. Jobsworth’s the lot of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,223 Posted December 30, 2019 Signing "FCUK VAR" alone from the comfort of your armchair cannot come close to signing it with 20,000 others in the ground. This is not an argument about being a fellow fan that cares equally about the club, I do not doubt that for a minute, this is about the raw emotion of an incident in the moment, with many many others, within spitting distance of that incident with everybody around you feeding off that raw emotion........... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
