Absolutely nothing.
Say it again, yeah.

I don’t see the ending of VAR as getting the game back….they will just revert back to the previous bias the top clubs get.

I have absolutely no interest or idea as to whether or not automated offside decisions will be an improvement on the current line drawing codswallop.
Until VAR is dumped and we get our game back we, as the fans and supporters, will continue to endure a version of the game which is alien to our sporting heritage.
The powers that be are truly clueless.

Can’t wait to get back to the days when clear and obvious wrong decisions were made and everyone accepted it with calmness and equanimity.

Faux - That's why it should just be used for 'clear and obvious errors' which I thought was the intention from the start.
It was announced yesterday that the PL are introducing continental style automated offside checks from next season which is a start.

Must admit I watched a couple of Championship games recently incl Ipswich v Southampton and enjoyed not having to second guess every goal
But this week I did see a Sunderland player jump up and punch away a cross v Leeds and another game where a ref gave a pen for a tackle at the top of the D about 2yds outside the penalty area

While obviously better if they scrapped it altogether, this at least speeds it up. This has been used in the Champs League and it's hugely noticeable how much faster decisions are made.

Official: Premier League clubs unanimously agreed to the introduction of Semi-Automated Offside Technology.
The new system will be used for the first time in the Premier League next season.

VAR is the worst thing to happen to any sport ever (other than some women being allowed to not wear bikinis at volleyball now) and any sane fan knew it was going to be an atmosphere thing cunt before it was brought in.
Without it though I wouldn’t have received all the videos of mong spurs fans last night though.
What sort of cunt thinks it’s normal to video yourself in a ground watching a game?

I'd do it ..... but Spurs would never finish a game.
I'd have two off in the warm up (Kane ... food in unruly beard, Son .... squinting at me funny) & two more in 10mins

I'd say v Bournemouth the decisions were right according to the guidance in interpreting the laws .... apart from that Lemur (that his name?) should have got a straight red.
I think Kehrer should have been penalised for his arm moving and bunting the ball but the call as accidental (plus the ref not seeing it) meant the VAR deciding the ball was 'cleared' before being put back in was in accordance with the expected interpretation.
The Bournemouth player slid in with his hands above his head as if he was surrendering. If they were slightly raised as he slid you could argue that was a natural movement.
The other ones ...
Dawsons pen v Fulham ... blatant holding and throwing. Should also be a red as it wasnt a valid attempt to tackle
Soucek v Southampton ... worse than Dawsons. penalty and red
Scamacca v Fulham .... not an obvious error. Impossible to say it hit his hand
Antonio v Fulham .... handball , not seen and they used this second phase thing. Maybe technically right but wrong from a football point of view like the Kehrer one
Cornet at Chelsea for Bowen's 'foul' ... just nonsense
Van Dijk scuffing the pen spot .... VAR should have been paying attention. Red card for ungentlemanly conduct

I don’t understand the argument that our first goal against Bournemouth must have been handball, but the penalty couldn’t have been handball. Surely you have to pick a side? And Lerner was lucky to be on the pitch after his horror tackle on Scamacca. If Scamacca had made more of it, he would have walked. Another problem of today’s game, where you are penalised for trying to stay on your feet.

One of the so called top class refs in our area had 2 of our players off last Sunday... one for shouting out For Fucks sake for a 2nd yellow... and our second red card (our bloke was already on a yellow for shouting out For Fucks sake when he misplaced a pass.).. went through on goal... ref blew up for Full Time... our player shot way over the bar ... had another yellow for kicking the ball away... when we argued that the whistle had gone for teh end of teh game he said he would have it for kicking the ball angrily... Oh 3 years time he had 3 of our players off ... we had 5 sending off's in those 3 years... all by him... and he's the head of Refs in the area.... FA straight backed tosser

It's as if the remit is to find a way to disallow rather than to give the goals, extremely wonky IMHO.

Duke... we had three decisions that went for us that other times could have gone against us in the B'mouth game alone... agree with the Cornet goal v CFC.. absolute joke... as far as I am concerned they have not got FOOTBALL people viewing and making the decisions... all these old pros scrapping a living doing painting jobs and scrap metal etc... get them on board rather than these chinless FA straight back know nothing cunts
