It's is that simple, VAR is just another excuse to pay more officials to get it wrong. There's 4 pitch side, if they can't get it right they shouldn't be there.

Anyone else think that the VAR centre gave the offside for the wrong reason (ie coming back from an offside position) then covered their arses with some oddly drawn lines and claimed that as the reason once they realised their error? Or am i further down the conspiracy route theory than most haha

If var is good for 1 thing it's offsides, no amount of wailing will change that.
Lots of confusion from some of you about offsides and the term clear obvious error .

Then why was he given off side. The naked eye could tell he wasn't IMO so was it for coming back.

Well in other news at least Foyth has been taken off. Absolutely bloody useless. The sooner he's out of the club the better.
No confusion from me, it’s shite, pure & simple, and offside isn’t always offside imo, it’s not 100% that you can score with your shoulder, so as Stu states, how can having a part of your shoulder in front by millimetres be advantageous. It needs reviewing, and quickly.

VAR didn’t get implemented because of people watching on telly complaining about poor decisions - it was nothing to do with the fans. Clubs and managers video analysis the games to the 9th degree and they are the reason why it was brought in - not the “armchair fans”
Is it too late to send Aurier a Christmas card ??
im not sure how he gets a place, he can’t cross, his defending is debatable, I’ve not seen him have even half a decent game, I hope he stays for years to come ?

I'm actually surprised that us mere armchair fans are allowed on a forum to discuss football.
In other news, Norwich are playing some fabulous football and thoroughly deserve to be in front, but unfortunately it's all about VAR.
They must get it right or bin it.
I really hope Norwich avoid relegation ....................... I love listening to their manager, too.

I don’t think your getting what Stu C is saying. The beautiful game was built by the passion of fans going to games. Following there team for 30 plus years when they have not won a title or cup City and Liverpool. Those same fans that go are forgotten by the tv money and the very “ armchair “ fans that pay Sky, BT, Amazon etc etc TV money. TV fans see every angle conceivable.yet what do match going fans see. Sod all. Don’t get me wrong, tash will be an armchair fan next year. Ave seen both sides and as a match going fan, they are getting the stinky end of a shitty stick.

I wonder if we will see the pitch side VAR monitor used this season?

What I don't get is the looking down the nose at armchair fans. Not everyone is able to go to games. I do think those fans that turn up week after week, all over the country are the true die-hard fans but don't like getting sneered at for being an armchair fan (and carpark golfer)!
Also..."Armchair fans like what they've got"...did we really ask for VAR? I certainly didn't and am pretty sure Sky et al pouring over every angle and slagging off referees plus the huge amounts of money at stake, are more the culprit for its introduction. It has ruined the game as a spectator sport full stop - live or on the box. When Pukki (love that name) scored I cheered but choked it short as there was every chance it may not stand. Seeing the VAR decision is even more frustrating.

Aren’t you and Stu sitting in armchairs tonight moaning about decisions?
Bringing VAR in has nothing to do with you being at the match or watching it at home, it is about getting the decisions correct.
Just because the system is not being used correctly or the rules should of been clarified prior to them bringing it in has no bearing on were supporters are when these decisions are being well and truly messed up.

Exactly that - not sure how anything to do with VAR can be blamed on “armchair” fans
And people watching on telly also at times haven’t got a clue what’s going on with it

And I think there is a bit of truth in what you say.
Also, and I say this with the greatest respect, if Barca or Real come calling then most players listen because they are massive clubs.
