VAR

[Drog]

After tonights Sydney v McArthur game, you can shove VAR up where it truly hurts.
Two incredible reds for McArthur, down to 9 men yet they still won..
Both reds were yellows at the most, both could well have been just a free kick. Not only was the game stopped for 5 mins for the first, I can't tell you how long the second was, I switched off, but it ruined the game as entertainment.
Just get rid, get rid, get rid. It is stuffing the game, stop it now.

Yet no one comes on here to recount the many examples which var gets right. Only the very few that the chap in var hq gets wrong. The good far outweighs the bad but we do all like a good moan don't we?

It’s perfectly fine to moan at imperfection though.

Coventry would be in the FA Cup Final if it wasn't for VAR.

You could tell they are a Championship club as they all went crazy after their last gasp extra-time "offside winner". . . . thinking that was that.

I didn't watch this but I remember Luton fan Stuart Atwell's name for some reason . . . something to do with us. . .Anyone?

Anyway, that is quite a strong social media post that Forest put out. More fan talk that the usual official line. . .

Burnley still have hope . . . . .

Bloody shame but rules are rules ODB and for that line to go through his foot he'd have to be in size 16 boots.... like the clown boots that Sheaf and Casamero were wearing.
I'd commented what a fantastic penalty Torp's was, right in the top corner and unsaveable but that it was fraught with disaster as a fraction right or up would have seen it miss the target. Poor old Sheaf thought he could emulate that and instead ballooned it over. As ever Rule 1 of penalty kicks is to hit the target.

You missed the point. That VAR decision was wrong and the lines are clearly in the wrong place. Coventry have been cheated out of a cup final.

Indeed Robin, no need for another reason to make a mistake.
The game has survived for well over 100 years with refs making mistakes, why add another level to the mistake makers.

One word dave..... corruption. With arab and american owners there has never been as much money in the game and one thing will always lead to another.
