Can we all agree now VAR was a good idea?

Only time I care or it affects me is if one of my FPL players scores and VAR disallows it etc.

Love that game . Only thing with that though is you need to get your captain right or you can loose your place in the league standings.  Just the other week I didn't captain Salah and he scored 3 against Manchester United 😔😉🙂.

I must say, I'm not a fan.  Some of the goals given offside are ridiculous and have ruined the game.  A shirt's width or something or other. I've also seen obvious dives been given as penalties and penalties not given and you wonder who is watching the footage - the tea lady?  Also, if we have to have it, then we all should have it.  Was it Palace V Town where we were hard done by but there was no VAR there?  In other Cup games there were.  I'd prefer an appeal system like cricket, if it were used.

Goals that are offside being given as offside is ridiculous?

13 of us put £70 into a pot (first time iive done it) and you win money for Manager of the month and then overall top 3.. I'm useless and 9th but somehow got MOTM for September 😂
Oh and I also chickened out and took captaincy off salah for the United game!!

I do that as well but not £70 only £ 20😉. I don't know if it happened to you but not that long ago I was doing well in my fantasy league. I was pushing for top spot but near the end I stopped captaining Alexi Sanchez when he was at Arsenal and actually dropped him. Cost me the league and some money 😔. Learnt my lesson now though. Captains make all the difference.

Something had to be done to correct obvious errors. The Henry handling incident against Eire, the Maradonna 'hand of god' against England, the Lampard 'goal' against Germany, and countless others.

However, any such system must be applied sensibly. Last seasons stop-start fiasco's badly interrupted the flow of games, and every time a goal was scored you were never quite sure if it would stand.

This season it seems the system is being used more selectively. I still think Cricket has it about right. If each team has a limited number if appeals, say 1 per game, they could challenge where they have reasonable  grounds. That could still be abused by teams using up their allocation of appeals late in the game, but at least it might restrict the delays and might catch the glaring errors. .

Had Willy Puddy walked at Wembley in 2015 we might not have had Operation Promotion and with it the potential to sell-on Omar Bogle for a huge profit 18 months later (and subsequently waste it).  

I've seen odd arguments against VAR, but I think this one takes the biscuit!
