Pukey Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Just now, sc91 said: I too prefer to actually enjoy the emotion of football rather than constantly having to sit back, hold back and watch the fun get sucked away, in incredibly important games. I just don't understand how it removes all the emotion though. I really, really don't. Yeah, it's a pain when you think your team has scored and it's disallowed, but when it's a very obviously correct decision then surely that's better for everyone? Again, VAR clearly isn't perfect but the "oh no it means I wait!" just makes absolutely zero sense to me. Maybe it's because I've watched rugby league a lot in the past and the idea of waiting for certain decisions isn't new, but I'd much rather decisions like the one tonight be correct instead of "teh emotions" and have everyone harping on for hours about how it shouldn't have counted.

Haguey Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Either way, no matter what people think, VAR is here to stay at the top levels and is only going to become more integrated, not less. If people can't stand that they'll have to move to other sports, I guess. Ones that don't use tech like Rug.. err cricke.... tenn..? Ah. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching that goal at the time I didn't really see any appeals for VAR, it looked like an automatic check to me. I'd prefer human errors in real time over VAR anyway. If they can't review it within a minute then VAR shouldn't be happening. The Denmark one was mad today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
