Re: Today's Football 30/08

If that’s a reason to chalk off a goal, nobody will ever score again. How many years have we had VAR now? That’s as bad as it’s ever been. Killing the game at that level.

Let's say it's 1-1 on Saturday, an afternoon kick off, a close finish so not many leave early. 5 minutes later you've got around 14,000 people leaving via this. It will probably all be fine, it'll certainly take a while though.
