I just agree with everyone’s comments. VAR is sucking the joy and spontaneity out of football, that offside decision against Coventry was quite ridiculous.
I’ll be honest and say that I’ve always hated VAR, I just feel it was a technology looking for a problem to solve. There has always been debate over decisions in a match- was it a penalty, was it offside etc - but I never got the impression there was a pervading view that the game was going to rack and ruin unless we get some kind of solution to a non existent problem. That after-match debate/moan was part of the sport but the on field decision stood and you got on with it. Now, we have faceless technicians drawing imaginary lines, taking five minutes to decide if the ball was played a nano second too early to a player 3mm offside…..and they still don’t get it right! What’s the game come to?
It also seems to me that the lino/asst ref gets 90%+ decisions correct on offside, hardly a major problem. We now have the crazy situation where managers aren’t complaining about the ref’s decision but the VAR decision…..the very situation VAR was meant to eliminate! I give in.
