EPL Matchday 2

[SM]

Just to reinforce my point about VAR. I didn't wildly celebrate either of Mane's goals last night cos wasn't sure if either was going to be allowed to stand. It's taken all the joy of scoring out of the game. It's a real concern.

Woe is you.

It was the same with some of ours at West Ham by all accounts.

I wonder what the Aguerooooo moment would have been like with VAR.

Man United fans hearts would have broke, then had 30 seconds of slim hope, then broke again. Sounds great.

Laughed pretty hard.

Sounds more like Man City fans, after their loss to Tottenham in the CL Finals....LOL.

As he picked it up and ran through a few players, I have a feeling it would have been fine.

Maybe Mane shouldn't be offside so much and you wouldn't have to worry? Like Walcott he's got all that pace and ends up somehow being offside despite being able to round most defenders in 10m.

Huh... Mane is rarely flagged offside but ok.

 

[Bradesmaen]

25 times last season, 9th most in the PL. Chris Wood spent his entire season offside with 53

Surely VAR would have seen the handball then?

Fair enough, never really noticed before. But doesnt matter what he might be flagged for and I wasnt talking specifically about Mane, he just happened to score both goals in the final. Any goal... you cant celebrate it.

Sure you can, even when it's checked by VAR. Stop being an old fuddy duddy.

Yes you can, stop being a miserable get.

Fuddy duddy? Miserable get?

Im honestly raising concerns about how s**t VAR is. But whatevs.

Not really. It isn't stopping people from celebrating in the stadium. They still get to celebrate. Jeez you are a wet blanket.

You pretending that you sit there miserably until the game has restarted before madly celebrating is a bit of a weird one after one week of VAR where your team wasn't impacted.

Also strange considering VAR was involved in the CL last season but all of a sudden you've decided to sook about it.

 

[RossFC]

jod23 I know you might hesitate to celebrate if it's a close call of an offside watching it live, but I reckon we'll be conditioned to celebrate a bit more when VAR delivers the verdict and it goes our way. Like how when the AFL does a goal review, then the crowd cheers when the review says "GOAL".

Basically you'll celebrate, then get pissed when it's reviewed, then go mad again at a goal. I was at the WC when it happened, it's really not that bad. I think he's afraid that Liverpool will lose points this year after the multiple they gained through offside last year.

 

[apollo_creed]

What's a Liverpool fan worrying about anyway?

Referees apologise for giving a decision against them (on the rare occasion it does happen).
VAR will have a momentary malfunction when the time comes to overturn a Liverpool goal.

IT does stop and start games a little bit too much and during the charity sheild you can't celebrate like you used to, just in case.

I miss the good old days of the Charity Shield.

Boy you're acting like a big sook jod23
What has happened to you lately...

Can just imagine him at the footy standing up and turning around to shush the crowd "It might be touched, it might be touched. We can't celebrate yet."

 

[moomba]

It seems pretty common sense to me. You're not going to have that spur of the moment elation until you're sure the goal is going to stand. By then the moment has passed.

 

[Father Jack]

We've had years to get used to delayed LBW celebrations so we should be able to take VAR shenanigans in our stride, surely?
