compo 7,030 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Was listening to Roy Hodgson on Saturday night talking calmly about this VAR and it's interpretation and he talked a lot of good old fashioned common sense it's slowly ruining the game by turning referees into technology freaks . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing to do with technology. And, you can't blame the Referees for implementing the rules. It's the rules that are the issue. The decision to award Newcastle a penalty for Dier's handball was ridiculous: he doesn't even know the ball is there, with his back to it, and his arm is not in an unnatural position, as he was jumping. The new rules are stupid. Souness actually made the point that it makes the game more exciting, which is true: more goals, more excitement. But, it does take away some common sense in these situations. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dier one had me fuming and I dont support either, or paricularly like Jose, but I fully understood his reaction to the decision 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad we dont have it thank the lord for our tip top referees like Bobby Madden Kevin Clancy and dear old Wullie Collum ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,376 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The Palace/United game had 10 minutes added on time and as there were no apparent injuries all down to VAR it looks like. Extra minutes as much as that could throw fans travel plans int o dissaray. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think city will get there in a completed league . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
