VAR for me too.

Yes, I know it gets the correct decision but it's killing a lot of the enjoyment of football as we know it. The handball goals, a la Wes Thomas, the penalties that shouldn't have been (like 90% of the ones won by Jack Lester) won't be given now.

I know it will be a long time before it makes it down to our level but for that I'm glad, it's ruining the game for me, even though it will mean getting the correct decision each time.

These things for and against as good as even themselves out over the season anyway.

Do you enjoy it when those decisions go against us? How happy were you when Scott Neilson got sent off against Gateshead in the playoffs for nothing and we were tearing them apart at the time?

We won't see it for years, but I don't really care about it breaking up play a little bit if it gets the right decision. Yes, it's always nice to win from an undeserved decision, but losing by them is worse for me.

The game shouldn't be stop start and over analysed. The game is there to debate afterwards, not stop play and look at it. It will, before long, lose the cutting edge that makes it enjoyable. Fu(k ups and mistakes happen, that what's make the game so enjoyable

Yes at the time it was very annoying, but that's football, these things happen (or they used to happen anyway). Who knows what eould have happened had Neilson not been sent off, we could still have lost, or lost in the final.

Sergio Busquet.

Not sure why, he hasn't done anything this week, just can't stand the guy.

Stones. Crap defending.

If Southgate had played Gomez and Alexander Arnold at the back we would have won that game.

VAR, I understand we all want correct decisions, don't want games being won by dodgy goals but, ad VAR is their to confirm goals are correct the amount of goals scored/allowed over a season will be less then previous seasons, hence entertainment will be less.

Anyone that is against VAR.

Yes it's having it's early problems but I'm sure they will be ironed out enough for VAR to be accepted by the majority in time.

There's nothing worse than spending your time, effort and considerable money going to watch your team only to be robbed by an incorrect decision.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
