VAR changes nothing

This post you’re on literally disproves that. You see the penalty Brighton would have been awarded without VAR, how can that be worse than waiting a few seconds for a check to be done?

It’s a timely reminder to people calling for VAR to be scrapped that the alternative is actually giving these people more power to screw up matches.

I’m glad the article explains what “wtf” means, always been a complete mystery.

He’s definitely in the top 2 Egyptians in the league right now, no question.

We don’t know whether De Bruyne and Guardiola would even be at City if it weren’t for the cheating.

Lol we absolutely do know: they definitely wouldn’t.

It does change slightly, as it becomes officially recognised rather than just being something people accuse them of.

This is the end goal of the refs that hate the added scrutiny VAR brought them. They will still be here, and they’ll still screw teams over.

Well worth the 1 game ban tbh

His job is basically to allow the referees to be so bad it generates outrage clicks and he gets a show out of it, but not so bad that it leads to change and negatively affects him and his mates. Luckily for him, he has a lot of wriggle room since fans are all so tribal and every time there’s a ridiculous decision, there’s always enough fans happy enough that the team they dislike got screwed that they’ll be happy to support the current setup. Until the next week where their team are screwed over and their rivals are too busy gloating.

No, shit referees will cost it and people blaming VAR instead will be what enables them. Normal leagues are coping fine with VAR.

Oh great, I’m sure it’ll be much better when they have Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher refereeing.
