Mart your argument that all people who like VAR may as well watch someone rolling a dice is a load of rubbish. It really is. It's a terrible terrible argument. You must know that when typing it out. Why stop at goal decisions. Why not apply it to all decisions. Should everyone not in favour of this just go watch some bloke rolling a dice instead.
Watching something happen. Reacting to it. And then realising that all youve just seen has been wiped out, is false did not happen is something which is widely derided. If you watched all of breaking bad and it turned out to all be a dream you'd feel cheated wouldn't you? It's a false equivalency to equate laughing at another team who've just had a VAR decision go against them with the enjoyment people gain from football.
I do care about there being rules. Of course I do. I just accept that sometimes were going to get a man sent off against us unjustly or concede a dodgy penalty and it's not worth losing all that we enjoy from the game to correct one or two of those decisions. I assume that the league cup final was thoroughly unenjoyable for you, given that our penalty shouldn't have stood. Equally it must have been galling to watch everyone jumping around celebrating maccarones equaliser knowing that Basel had a man sent off unjustly.
It's in the premier league and it'll stay there. Let's not have it infest the lower divisions, so at least fans have some choice of what to watch.
