[Albion] Did YOU mute your celebration of the first goal?

[Guinness Boy]

Must admit my celebration of the first goal was very muted indeed as were many around me, convinced that VAR would chalk it off for offside. In fact I may have told my son not to bother counting it.

Felt like many in the ground thought the same thing. Did you?

 

[Icy Gull]

Yep, I leapt out of my seat ready to celebrate and the guy beside me (who blocked my view as the goal went in) said “it’s offside” so I sat back down again.

Took bloody ages for the numpties to decide to let us have this one too. Well deserved loud booing whilst waiting

Most relaxed I have been at a game for bloody ages too, once the second went in it just seemed like a formality. (Which it seldom is as an Albion fan )

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

That bloody VAR decision took forever, effectively killed any joy in the goal. If you weren't there, take a look at Ronald's video. He captures the endless hanging around by players and officials to perfection. F*** VAR

 

[Bold Seagull]

Nope, looked at the lino and celebrated as normal.

Hate VAR so just carrying on like it doesn’t exist.

 

[VAL1850]

Felt really sorry for Deniz not being able to celebrate properly....

You must have had some serious disappointments this season then

 

[pasty]

Yes because I thought it was offside even before var got involved.

Seeing it on the highlights however I realise now it was the player behind Undav I saw who was off, not Undav

 

[Springal]

Even he thought he was offside I think

 

[Littlemo]

Yes but to be honest, it was because I saw Undav looking across and not celebrating or looking sure, so I thought it must be offside as often the players know.

This. When a player doesn’t fully celebrate his first league goal I get worried

 

[Superphil]

I think he knew Estupinian was offside so understandably thought the goal would be disallowed. So pleased for him, hope this can be a springboard for him. We were in Brussels late last year and met some RSG season ticket holders, that were far more complimentary about him than Mitoma.

Yep. I was convinced it wasn't a goal. In the pre-VAR era the lino would have simply flagged it off.

Then, with no expectation, it's a ruddy goal! And then I lost my shit.

That's why I love VAR so much.



















What?

Wish I was more like you….

This was a classic VAR sucking the enjoyment out of a goal being scored.
I was convinced with the Welbeck flick Undav would be offside,.

Obviously the delay related to the desperation of trying to find something to disallow it…..

Are you mad?!

I doubt if he was remotely disappointed. The opposite in fact.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Yes.

But what has that to do with anything?

I fail to see how that was anything to do with VAR though

No VAR review = spontaneous continued celebration?

Am I being whooshed?

 

[nickbrighton]

where we were, there was a lot of looking around and "is it a goal? " it was quite strange as it was very muted celebrations, and the longer it went on the more people were certain it wouldn't stand

It was definitley VAR sucking the enjoymemt out of the game (even if only temporarily), but by the time the goal was given by VAR the moment for the crowd and Undav had passed

Im just glad his second made up for it and the rendition of "Iwanna know...." was just fantastic.

How much will that boost his confidence ?- it could be a turning point for him, just when we need a third fit and in form striker

 

[Stat Brother]

Yes - I also muted my celebrations when @Bold Seagull tracked me down during halftime.

But he got to see my phenomenal hair so at least one customer left the AMEX happy yesterday.
