  • this.

    i'm not picking up any anti VAR vibes elsewhere on the continent etc. I dont care if we have VAR or not to be honest. I was sick and tired of fans/ players/ managers/ media etc bleating/abusing/harassing officials for making mistakes which reached such a fever pitch VAR was introduced for that reason alone. Now the same people are filling air time, column inches etc with anti VAR whinging. 'It's killing the game' must be one of the most stupid phrases of all time considering what else the game has survived. Its almost as if people use football because they need something to fucking moan about all the fucking time

  • i'm not picking up any anti VAR vibes elsewhere on the continent etc.

    Really? They did introduce it ahead of the Premiership so it does seem to have calmed down a bit, but there have been so many clangers in Italy and German matches are still regularly bogged down with VAR intruding too much.

  • Probably because the name of the game in the British sport's press is to wring every ounce of drama out of any given situation, regardless of its newsworthiness.

  • yeah. admittedly I don't keep up to date with the media side of it just old mates abroad . Media seem to be running VAR as a story everywhere in the knowledge that at some point in time all fans are going to be upset and mouth off when it goes against their team.
    what i have noticed is that non prem fans now seem more lenient on refs in the knowledge that at least they don't have VAR.
