Re: **** VAR

Scrap it. Everyone's had enough of it.
It's used solely to give the FA the league table they want...& to give 'pundits' something to discuss for hours on end during the week, as was witnessed yesterday at OT & Stamford Bridge.
It's ruining the game for the ordinary fans.

Re: **** VAR

I didn't mind so much seeing us lose 2-1 at OT to a brilliant Denis Law overhead kick in 1965. But after watching yesterday as the result was blatantly manipulated by VAR, I've no intention in setting foot in that sh*thole again.
