They checked every goal at our game on Saturday. Not one needed it, the ref could make the decision on his own.
So still wondering why the VAR checks every goal even when it appears at first glance unnecessary?

Superb post.It’s all bollocks. People don’t like change. People also don’t like goals being given when there was an infringement. People need to suck it up. Under the old rules we would have lost and Spurs fans would be complaining about a handball while fans of other teams would be taking the piss. Bollocks to them. We weren’t screwed over, neither were City. Give VAR more time to settle and people will treat it as standard much the same as they have previous rules. People love moaning. People are adaptable.
People. What a great word. People.
What if the ref was the only one to see it and the players didn’t appeal? Does that mean it’s not handball too? Shearer talking shite because he knows he has to complain and hadn’t got his head around what he wanted to complain about.VAR seems to be getting the vast majority of the decisions right, but there's still a lot of moaning. It seems to be as much about not liking the rules as much as bit liking VAR now.
I don't know why Shearer was going on about the players not appealing for the handball yesterday. I doubt any of them could see it and VAR is there to help the ref with the stuff he can't see.

This argument of 'you don't know whether to celebrate or not cause it might get ruled out'. Have we not had this scenario for years?! Plenty of games over the years where your team scores, you celebrate only to realise the linesman has his flag up for offside.
Exactly. I'm glad I no longer work in an office cause the endless Monday morning greetings of "VAR is ruining the game" would be excruciatingIMHO VAR is a pain mainly ATM because it now gives pundits and the press even more to drivel prattle endlessly on about.
Other than that and may need a tweak or two in the coming seasons, it fine
I am in favour of VAR and believe it is already clamping down on cheating that has embarrassed the game for so long.
It certainly needs some tweaking.
I don’t agree with some of the current rules. I think the offside rule is too strict and the idea that the ball touching the hand in a buildup to a goal is automatically disallowed is nonsense.
It's called football for a reason. The ball touching the hand was always handball but was relaxed about 20 years ago now they've brought back and rightly so. I agree offside should be clear daylight between attacker and defender and not just a foot or toe.
But if that is the case then the ball hitting the hand anywhere on the pitch , regardless of following actions should be handball.
I just don’t agree that the ball accidentally hitting a hand leading to a goal is handball but anywhere else it isn’t.
Which is what I am saying.For me handball is handball end of. Same as offside regardless if you are interfering with play. Make the fuckers learn how to play the game properly and earn those millions.
