Just joking obviously. I've slagged off plenty of players on here (one of Mainoo's high profile teammates MBE in particular). It's the term 'I don't rate him' I find funny, especially when said by a fatty in his mum's bedroom about a 19-year-old elite athlete, FA Cup winner and full England international. Anyway, as you were...
I wish I was 19 again…. Not been that since 1979….. was on my second tour of NI. If it directed at me.
I've said it before but I don't get why you're allowed to appeal in a VAR era. What if the appeal has been dismissed? Can they have someone else overrule it after two previous reviews? If we're needing to re-review VAR's decisions then why do we have VAR?
Because VAR has been shown to be absolutely shite? If VAR had been a roaring success then you're right there'd be no need for an appeal system, but VAR is bobbins.
My point is where do you draw the line? This is the same argument people had about referees and advocating for implementing VAR. We can't trust the referees. We can't trust VAR to adequately review wrong decisions. What happens when people determine this appeal process is still getting decisions wrong? Do we allow clubs / players / managers to appeal the appeal or do we say this is the final decision. We've already gone past VAR being the final decision. It's absurd and if we're going to accept referees are going to get it wrong and VAR is subsequently going to get it wrong too then I don't know why we continue with the latter.
Exactly. As I've said elsewhere I can accept the Fernandes red card, the ref has given what he thinks is the right decision, what annoys me is that the VAR people have then had the opportunity to see it replayed a dozen times from several angles but haven't advised the ref to take another look at the pitchside monitor. If VAR is just as likely to reach a wrong conclusion then let's scrap it and just trust the referees to give it their best shot.
Rescinding the card is such a joke. Never should have been a red in the first place but to go against what the ref and VAR decided on a simple call like that just makes a joke of the system. Bruno being available is just more bad news for a lot of the United fans I’ve seen
This panel seem to come out with comments about certain decisions after the matches as well. Are we just seeing another set of ex officials giving their own personal opinion on something made by the VAR and on pitch ref. Basically it's a lot of different people having their say on something and everyone will be different. Although on this one haven't heard anyone say it was a definite red and many would have been delighted to see Man U and Fernandes suffer.
That’s the thing though, it’s not really about it being a ‘wrong’ decision as such, it’s just what someone thinks at the time. Another bloke has a different opinion, but can’t now say so because they don’t want to undermine the first bloke. However they try and square the circle, you can add layers of decision making all you like but they’re never going to reach a ‘correct’ decision because there isn’t one. Send him off or don’t, it’s football and the game goes on. VAR in these situations is a literal waste of time.
