VAR has genuinely ruined football

Same football nerds who get hard over xG like VAR. Don't know any match going fan who likes it

It was offside, clearly.

And I didn't think it was a penalty.

Just a shame though, would have been good to see Coventry win, means so much more to the Championship side.

So why was VAR required? It clearly wasn't clear was it, hence the need for VAR.

'Clearly' was possibly a bad choice of words!!  I mean now we've seen the lines, yes it wasn't offside by much, but now it's been looked at it was offside.

It was offside. Sucks, but it was. 

Congratulations.

Now, about that Arsenal handball that wasn't given when he picked the ball up in the area? Where was VAR then?

"Hey United, we can see it's offside but we're deciding to give the goal because 'the magic of the cup'. Hope you understand."

Yeah you're absolutely right. This was definitely 'clear and obvious' wasn't it?

Having to zoom x100 to check that the guy potentially had his little toenail offside.

My god that is pathetic. And to think people enjoy football going this way 🤦‍♂️

I'm no great fan of VAR, but if you're going to use it for offsides, then it has to be used like this.

And lets face it, if it had been a Man U winning goal disallowed because Diallo was 5cm offside, would people have been so upset?

Gary Neville made a good point on Sky earlier. He pointed to the fact that since INEOS have gone in they've basically cleared out most other senior positions. New CEO, new technical director, trying to get Dan Ashworth as sporting director. So it would be pretty bizarre to do all that and then off the back of awful performances and not qualifying for the champions league, go and stick with the same manager.

Maybe they should design football boots with a blue tip.

I got one there when Bauer scored.
