    [Football] "It's not VAR, it's the people running it"

    Jesus christ. There was a game I used to watch once, called football.

    We are in agreement then sir!

    [Football] "It's not VAR, it's the people running it"

    I'm no fan of VAR, never have been. But if you're suggesting VAR is being used / manipulated to satisfy the Asian betting markets, then I'm afraid I'll have to call "Bobbins". Its not corruption. Its just plain old-fashioned rank incompetence. To suggest the dribbling line-drawing goons at...

    Maddison was sent off at the Amex a couple of years ago in the first half, when he picked up a 2nd yellow card for diving in the box. It was a truly delicious moment. Great player, but he's got it in him.

    Point of order - Keane did not end Alf Inge Haalands career.

    I totally agree re the tech. Goal-line technology has been a gamechanger for the good (although Sheff Utd fans may not agree, but that really was a one-off aberration). For line calls in football, cricket and tennis, its excellent. But football doesn't very often boil down to line calls. Its...

    It did indeed. But it could easily have gone the other way - heads dropping, "not our day" syndrome. Thankfully LCFC were so inept, and rather than getting spurred on by their fortunate escape, they still caved. Thats more down to us than them, but no thanks to the pricks in charge of the game...

    "Brighton were tremendous today and I was sort of glad Macallister scored that free kick because the decision to overrule his first goal was an absolute farce" - A Leicester fan https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/130034-brighton-a-post-match-thread/page/7/#comments

    And if we are SERIOUSLY getting down to this level of minutiae to determine a "clear and obvious error", then....well. Its indefensible.

    Are you not losing sight of what (ultimately) the offside law is all about ? It was brought in to prevent goalhanging. It was brought in to stop an attacker gaining an unfair advantage through being behind the last defender when the ball is played forward. Did Mwepu achieve any of that before...

    That is a very excellent term sir. And I wholeheartedly agree with gou.

    [Football] "It's not VAR, it's the people running it"

    Sorry, I just cannot be having it. If a manager still has an "appeal" in his pocket, then you might as well give up celebrating a late or last minute goal. As we've seen today, the eager-beavers at Stockley Park are DESPERATELY searching for the slightest reason to chalk off a goal, its...

    [Football] "It's not VAR, it's the people running it"

    Unlike cricket and tennis, goals are a match-defining rarity. Its not just an individual wicket or point - its a GOAL. You might not even see one all afternoon. Literally EVERY goal would be challenged on the offchance of some old bollocks. Foul throw. Some tap on the ankle. A dirty look. Give...
