Every goal is reviewed

Why feel the need to qualify what you have done? What on earth does that have to do with the VAR crap we are dished up with? How can it improve? Berating decisions is part of football folklore. We have lived and died by it for nearly a century and a half. Technology in this game has a threshold and it has been stepped over. It is bollocks, pure and simple.
VAR did not 'rule out' Murray's handball. The ref had already decided it wasn't handball.

WHU's wasn't. And why would they be? Would a 35 yard free kick goal be reviewed and why?

Yes. Plus the debates will also dominate the match threads

Never been on the fence, before.
To early to decide yet, I might change my mind by Christmas.

I'm yes.
It'll even itself out over the season.
Today hurt but we'll love it when it goes our way.
My only criticism is that it's not clear when they're doing a check and when they aren't. For their goal it seemed there was no check despite it looking potentially offside. For our 2nd (1st?) there was a check.
That needs sorting.

When will that rule (or law, whichever) come into effect then? It hasn't yet. They're all reviewed - some are just given the all-clear very quickly.
Sadly, what is happening at the moment is that they are automatically poring over their VAR screens to see iif they can disallow it - while doing nothing about behaviours - haranguing the referee, defenders cuddling an attacker at corners, etc..

ALL goals are reviewed, if we didn’t notice, it’s because it was decided very quickly. Closer decisions take more time.

On his last warning
VAR is shit.
It's turning a simple game into a high tech security operation.
What's the point in leaping from your chair in delight when you aren't sure it'll even be given?
Even Trossard's goal had me on edge over VAR. The only way VAR can used without killing the magic of a goal is if we only celebrate the VAR decision and how bloody crap would that be?!
This isn't modernising football. This is just making it less as exciting and more cynical in terms of the atmosphere

It's f***ed up football forever. The decision today was correct but I couldn't care less. Completely diminishes the best thing about being fan - the utter unabashed joy when your team scores a goal. Hate it hate it hate it.

Much like Remain/Brexit I think us VAR haters aren't allowed a comment. I'm with you 100%.

You sound like a an EPL fan who 'follows' a team there - My heart sank a little following this game from afar when I saw this one, will fans every properly celebrate a 'goal' properly again?

Why not do away with them and have all decisions made by a team watching video replays ?
Who's the wa**er watching the replay doesn't scan though
So long as the VAR decisions are correct then it has to be the way forward. With the pace and technicality of the game at this level 3 officials just can’t get the big decisions right all of the time, and our disallowed goal was the right decision, in other games it will go our way without a doubt.
As the officials get used to it and used to the systems the decisions will get quicker and cause less disruption to the game.

Here to stay, but the offside rule needs changing so that VAR stops making such a contraversial impact.
Change the offside rule and I would remain pro-VAR. The stupid, millimetre measurements are just a waste of time and effort. Bodies overlap... Onside.

I was thinking this during the match. No officials on the pitch and a horn goes off when a decision is given, it really isn't that far from reality. We've seen the decline in umpires decisions in cricket since VAR, and boy have they got some badly wrong recently, refs will just be the toyboy of VAR decisions in football. It is being sanitised and difficult to watch now.

I was thinking that. Ball goes in, nobody reacts, everyone just stops and waits. Decision comes up on the screen, everyone celebrates that moment instead.
Yeah that's crazy rubbish, but I am hopeful that some kind of middle ground can be found, where everyone can anticipate what needs waiting for and what doesn't (and hopefully the "waiting" moments are rarer). It will be interesting to see how this unfolds over the next couple of seasons.
You never know, maybe the long term result will be that players learn that they need to be much better at reading the line and offsides become less frequent.
