I'm in favour. I cant grasp the 'i'd rather keep the wrong decisions' argument. As for celebrating goals only to see them disallowed, that happens without var. We've all done it.

Interesting that compared to last week we have so far barely noticed VAR. It seems to have been used a lot quicker or at least more efficiently.

If it’s an end to the Old aTrafford penalty then great.

I think the decisions were correct at Old Trafford, however the decisions could have gone either way. This is partly due to the Man Utd players being schooled in the dark arts of going down easily which makes it even harder for the officials to make the correct decision even with VAR.

VAR is a joke.  Clear and obvious penalty for Spurs not given by the ref, then also not given by VAR.  What's the point of it then?

But in the end isn’t it still humans making the decision?

Bang on pen. What’s  the difference between diving and taking the player down or sticking out a leg and doing the same. In both cases it’s a pen

I get that. But VAR is just technology to help a human make a “better” decision. That’s all I’m pointing out.

That tackle on Kane was as clear a penalty as you will ever see.  Mike Dean is Billy Big Bollocks in refereeing circles so the VAR assessors keep their noses up his arse and decline e to overrule him.
