I actually think it’s my favourite Slowdive album now.

Give him a chance. He was in no position to immediately change the fortunes on the pitch, but he’s cut ticket prices and agreed to appear at the fans’ forum.

This is it exactly. Fans at the games are treated with contempt. I have not met a single fan who attends games who is in favour of VAR. The ‘Offside is offside’ crew tend to be on armchairs.

How can that take 4 or 5 mins to work out then, isn’t it effectively instant?
Replying to @3003nicnak @AVFCOfficial
I’m a Wolves fan and not watching this game however I agree…everyone treats it like it’s a scientific thing when actually, someone decides when the ball is played and a split second out can change one outcome for another. Needs to be obviously offside for me on a ‘normal’ replay
Replying to @paulnew29783815 @mrsflanagan28
It definitely won’t. We have by far the most VAR overturns against us, it’s not even close.
Replying to @paulnew29783815 @mrsflanagan28
Ah ok…I support Wolves and am taking comfort in leaving it behind. I’ve never met anyone who goes to matches who prefers it. Sucks the life out of games.
Replying to @paulnew29783815 @mrsflanagan28
Do you go to games? Do you enjoy all this?
Replying to @mrsflanagan28
Also I am pretty sure I have seen refs asked to go to the monitor to look at a handball? Has that never happened?
Replying to @mrsflanagan28 @paulnew29783815
I’ve also found that those who say ‘offside is offside though’ tend to be at home in armchairs and not sitting / standing waiting 5 mins to know if they are allowed to cheer. It’s ruined the game as a spectacle.
Replying to @paulnew29783815 @mrsflanagan28
Saying someone is 2mm offside would be fine if the method used was 100% accurate, but it’s someone freezing the frame when the ball was kicked. Two people operating could get a different result. And if it’s semi-automated then why isn’t it instant?
Replying to @mrsflanagan28
The ‘clear and obvious’ aspect has been totally forgotten. I haven’t seen the incident but hear it’s inconclusive - so allow the goal! Should be a max of 30 seconds to review.
