It shouldn’t take this long- it’s ruined celebrating a goal when it’s close. It’s sorted within seconds in the CL

Mate of mine is a Coventry fan and was at Wembley for the cup semi final. He said it’s the first experience he has had of having a goal celebration curtailed by VAR.

Think he prefers the excitement of the Championship.

Linesman would have probably raised his flag in the Championship, they can be a bit flag happy down in the lower leagues 🤣

Speaking to any Luton fan and they are the same , have hated VAR

It’s ruined many a game and it’s certainly not got rid of any of the “contentious” decisions

Woold rather they got rid of it as it’s not fit for purpose

Keep it just improve it, the players already wear those tech vests just add some form of tracking device to them and those manual lines are a thing of the past.

Some of the one touch football being played by both sides, and the inventive way they use the ball, reminds me of what football should be like. And again, I find myself accepting that United are an absolute country mile away from playing football the way it should be played.

The prem would find a way to mess it up - the system itself should work , it’s the idiots using it that’s the issue

The offside seems to work a lot better on the continent , and any decision they need to do is done quickly


The one person that needs a break in this game is Hooper - he doesn’t look fit
