Sorry mate, but if that was us had that goal ruled out I wouldn't be happy.

The way it's being implemented ATM completely ruins the flow of the game...it's terrible.
To think that it's being used in this state in a World Cup in a few months is just laughable.

Doesn't matter, it was offside. VAR got it right.

You don't get relegated on one decision, you get relegated for being shit over 38 games.

Try telling that to Sheffield United.

It was offside, of course there’ll be teething problems but the right decision was made
Imo it should only be used in clear and obvious errors, that wasn't and didn't need intervention.
It took fucking ages for them to come to that decision mate, it's awful.

It didn’t need it? It was an error that was corrected, clearly it’s far from perfect atm but hopefully with experience it can improve

I'll tell them, they were shit over 38 games, so stop crying.

But not as shit as three other teams, one of whom stayed up because of a goal scored by an illegally acquired player on the last day of the season.

This is a league that has been won by a single goal before. The margins are sometimes too fine, as we should all be well aware. The 'if you lose you must be shit' excuse just doesn't wash in every instance.

Nothing. But in that case they did 'enough' over 38 games to stay up only to be relegated due to an incident in a single game. Switch 'goal scored by illegally acquired player' to 'offside goal' and it becomes more pertinent to VAR.
