Match abandoned in Norway - VAR protests

[TheGunnShow 7,459]

Well, a football match in Norway's top flight got abandoned after the crowd decided to protest about the use of VAR. Tennis balls, flares and even fishcakes were tenderly lobbed onto the pitch on four separate occasions within the first 30 minutes or so before the referee had enough and decided to abandon the game.

Apparently one player even put the tennis balls back in the crowd so they could reuse them for further protests. Which is an impressive commitment to recycling, I have to say.

Maybe, instead of complaining about nonsense like Southgate's style of play, fans might want to do something like this instead? Get VAR out of there.

Ha, fishcakes.

That's a better way to mackerel difference than just carping on about it endlessly, I guess. VAR is taking the sole out of the game...

I guess we're always herring on about it. Time to knock VAR off its perch.

This is more like it. About time a few more fans protested about it. Everyone complains about it, but most people just settle for that and don't do anything to actually about it.

And here I was, angling for a discussion on scrapping VAR with what I thought was juicy bait, and all I managed to reel in were a load of fishy wordplays.

Unfortunately Lakey, I don't think the fans have any influence at all these days.

But then again, what local produce from Norwich would our fans throw on the pitch?

Don't really think these fish puns serve any porpoise. I guess you did it just for the halibut
