Quoted from lew chaterleys lover
I read reports about the matches at the weekend where fans were not celebrating goals in the usual manner, due to them being suspicious about whether VAR would intervene.

The greatest thing about the game is the instant celebrations when a goal is scored. Take that away and the game dies a littlelot.


Just a small amendment at the end.

Quoted from Rik e B
Good point by Scuntland, I'm in favour but then again I don't support a Club attending matches where it affects my match day experience week in week out so can I really make a fair and proper judgement?

Listen the debate sure to rage on and like Brexiteers versus Remainers or Liberal lefties against the right, both sides bound to become entrenched in their views and unlikely to waiver from their stance. I say it'll calm down in time but I'm sure there plenty who will forever hark to the 'good old days' before VAR.

One thing is for certain it isn't going anywhere.


Where do illiberal lefties fit in?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from Gaffer58
Just a suggestion, get rid of offside completely, all the controversial goals would straight away become legitimate, it would open the game up as you could leave a forward in the opposition penalty area all game, and I suspect create even more goals hence games would be more exciting.


Slade would still do a 50 slide Powerpoint presentation with stats to show it wasn't worth leaving a player up when you're defending a corner.

Only if he needed to waste time at a potentially hostile fans forum  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
