Sure.
But ‘seeking to gain an advantage’……. Really?
I’m a VAR hater anyway, it’s killing the enjoyment, the spontaneous adrenalin rush when a goal is scored has been lessened IMO.

Doubt it as we are not man utd so would be in that situation
As long as the red shite lose I'll be sanguine.

Are you one of these twats ruining football by disliking referees so you give them a hard time down the park? Calling all referees twats in daily life that less people want to become referees? So the only referees who continue who are the ones so confident in their ability that they don't listen to any criticism? I am defending a refereeing team who I believe got the decision right in the box because f*** all people defend us, but love to attack us. Sometimes even Physically. So i'm sorry to everyone i have responded to in a condescending way, but to me that looks clear. Sorry top call you a twat.

I was reading his manifesto earlier. Really liked many of his policies, especially chucking the royal families out of our palaces and giving them to homeless people.
However, this one may be the deciding factor to get my vote

Go away, you sad arrogant little man.
That was just the final straw.
We were already in way to deep of over analysis, of this exact situation with screams for VAR, because the big teams were always favoured and the referees needed help.
I'm not defending var because it's shitehouse, but unsurprisingly everything written now is just the flip side of everything written pre var.

Can anyone actually remember who was screaming for the introduction of VAR? In today's situation we would have accepted that the naked eye decision has him in line

Cardiff away 2019, we were all calling for it as Bamba was offside when they scored their winner.

Sorry Kevo, that was uncalled for
But would you say an advantage is being gained, by that degree of minutiae?
I get the rules, are the rules, but goodness me, VAR is an absolute nightmare.
My former colleage was a ref in the county league and got endless abuse. As a spikey Glaswegian it was all off a duck's back.
Till one afternoon and he thought 'f*** this'. Walked off at half time, grabbed his kit bag, got into his care with his boots still on and drove home. Never again to blow his Acme Thunderer.
Football 'supporters' have a considerable scum contingent.
I certainly don’t think you should get shit and that’s undoubtedly wrong. I also doubt very much VAR is improving that situation - it seems to have created far more controversy around officials rather than reduce it.
All the people making a comfortable living out of football 'controversy'.
Guess what they're all still doing fine screaming about injustice, while we're stupified by shite football.
It’s not clear though. They don’t know where exactly to draw the line. The frames aren’t acCurate enough. They can’t tell exactly when the ball is kicked. And it still looks level to me. Stop digging a hole.

Apology accepted.
The final straw? It was 2009!
Harsh...
Good point well made.
It was the first straw of which everything else was piled onto.
