It's the end of the world as we know it (or the beautiful game anyway).

Brighton are the better team at the moment - they need to cash in on it.

Finding it very difficult to have any reason to why we have VAR in football.

Something like that can be really deflating - the VAR delay is really going to be a pain this season.

Australia's Steve Smith retired hurt in today's Test at Lord's after being hit by a Jofra Archer delivery. GOSBTS

Imagine that the only thing you've had to cheer about, for two games, is VAR decisions going your way.

Imagine that.

Imagine being West Ham and that being the only thing going for you.

Also recorded the fastest over of all time by an England bowler.

Imagine being Matty Ryan running 80 yards to celebrate a no goal given two minutes later... utter shambles. I hate VAR!

Since speed cameras only, so not of all time at all.

No idea of speeds before then

As soon as I saw the replay I thought it would be ruled out. But again, the delay is what kills it all.

Not according to those that support this awful tool.

Good half that. Just need a goal (that VAR doesn’t disallow!)

Any poster that defends VAR has no heart. To celebrate a goal like that for so long and have it chalked off is devastating.
You can keep your so called ‘accuracy’.

I also dislike the way commentators keep saying we 'benefited' from VAR last week in that the penalty (Murray) wasn't given against us. Completely ignoring the fact that the ref didn't give it anyway - so we got no 'benefit' from VAR at all, as if VAR didn't exist, the outcome would have been exactly the same.
