For me this is one of the beauties of supporting a non prem side. We get the game in real time and no over officiating, it's a lot easier to accept the decisions as they happen as Ref's are humanised. They still get stick but it's a lot less without the added pressures of VAR.

I’m pleased you like it mate cause I can’t see your lot getting back there soon 😂.
Sorry couldn’t help myself.

The championship and lower games I watch are I think better for not having VAR.
It’s football how it should be, full of emotion and passion not managed by robots.

I would be happy with that.
Although I think get rid of Stockly Park.
If the ref sees something he thinks could be a red then he chooses to go to the screen.
He is on the pitch he knows how the game is going.
Let him make the decision.
And no slow mo replays cause they always look worse. Football is not played in slow motion

Have seen too many players sent off because they have slowed it down and it’s been made to look worse

Yeah can’t see why they can’t just allow the ref to have his own check if he needs too

No need to laugh or apologise your right we'll not be getting back to holy land in decades if we're lucky :ROFLMAO:
We know our place and it's firmly rooted in real football;)

It is nice though and the game flows so much better.
 
Sky Sports News currently doing it to death…

Edit, see post 89,100 above. I think the officials got it right.

The “he’s in the keeper’s thinking…” Keeper might have been thinking about his next pint. Deal with what you can see, not what the guy in seat D24 is thinking.

I think the very first thing Dermot Gallagher said hits the nail on the head. It is a grey area. Different people will see it differently, hence why this debate has gone on and on. Hence why there are many in one camp or the other, rather than 95% plus in one camp.

Some are going to say Robertson impacted the keepers thinking, and that cannot be definitevely proved by anyone other than the keeper. Some will say Robertson had no impact on the keepers thinking, again cannot be proved by anyone other than the keeper.

All I know is that if a Man Utd goal was ruled out for that, I'd be hugely frustrated. If a Spurs goal was ruled out, and Everton goal, a Forest goal, an Arsenal goal, etc, I would fully expect their fans to be gutted and feel hard done by. Especially as goals have been allowed in the past, and in some cases in instances where there looks to be a much bigger case the offside player was interfering. With VAR, and many rules being butchered to try and get to the point where decisions can be more black and white, it is why I can see them trying to change this (similar to what I said earlier about automatic offside in 6 yard box). Or, they may ban opponents from being within 2 yards of the keeper before or during a corner kick to stop them blocking his path (like they banned players from being near the wall during a free kick). The fact that this incident went against Liverpool, I can imagine there will be more incentive for them to discuss rule changes due to the fallout. Watch this space.
