PL 2020/21 Season.

[Mr Pink]

On VAR:
It's never going to work as it is. It's pedantic, clinical and still - after all they've said about the technology - open to interpretation from a ref in a dark room miles away from the action. Every decision is judged on absolute slo-mo and on the nuances of fractions of a second. It's utter ****e. It should be 'clear and obvious only'. **** everything else.
Goal line technology works as it's black and white. No messing about, it's a definitive goal or no goal. Until VAR can be as accurate as that, it's a flawed system due to the quality of the refs in Stockley Park. We need to celebrate a goal instantaneously or similarly know within a millisecond if its' disallowed, same as goal line technology. If we can't get to that position because the decisions remain interpretative, then it should be scrapped completely. It's the same as with no VAR in that case and it's all about opions, which is exactly what it's not supposed to be. It's supposed to be about accuracy and consistency. It's a ****ing joke and is killing the game completely. Said it at the start of last season and if anything, it's getting worse. Ref's don't even know the rules of the game e.g VVD's injury was after the whistle but reckless and Pickford should have got a red.

Agree with everything except the “clear and obvious” part... we had that last year and it was bull****- yes that’s a foul, but it’s not a clear and obvious error so no penalty.... it was an extra layer for them to be able to hide behind, to deny any wrongdoings.

Before var came in we said it would be crap having to wait before celebrating a goal etc... the consensus was that it would be worth it if it meant that we got the right decisions... but we aren’t! There’s more debates about decisions now than there was before var... so the game is taking a double whammy- less exciting to watch and more debatable decisions than ever..

I actually like it when the ref looks at the monitor and decides himself- that way 1 person is accountable and he has to own the decision... no debates about “even the ref said it wasn’t a pen...” I just think that they’re seriously lacking common sense...

Villa away in the FA Cup 3rd rd. **** off.

[Mark79]

Thought we were heading for City or Chelsea there, so I’m alright with Villa

Get them back for the 7-2

Really?

Would have zero complaints if we got ****ed off out of the FA Cup as early as possible.

Jurgen to field an U23 team i hope.

Yep. Absolutely sick of these draws. Chelsea got Morecambe at home ffs. Spurs got Marine away.

[Baracus]

Even if we got Morecambe or Marine, we would still try our best to not win.

So tedious - even the BBC struggle to hype the FA cup now. And I suspect the minnows don’t really want to draw LFC cos they know they will end up playing a bunch of kids and having an irate Juergen moaning on the touch line for 90 mins!

[Big-Red-Ed]

As others have said its ruining the flow of the game but by far the worst thing is not celebrating goals now in the moment. We have waited decades for a team to win the prem and then the whole thing is ****ed up by the combination of var and the no crowds at games and no victory parades.

****ing hell, BBC showing a picture of Big **** Chris and saying the tie vs Villa is a re-run of the 2015 fixture. Jesus, a lot has happened in just 5 years, he was still a Villa player

Be interesting to hear what sort of noise 1500 on the Kop can make. Not insignificant you imagine.

[Roboklopp]

You’d hope they’d be making up for lost time

[Fosterbloke]

They should hook up speakers all round the stadium to amplify the crowd noise. Is that even an effective solution?
