Football is finished

[hudds]

Turned it off no sooner that long delayed VAR given as we all knew it would.
Not interested in us just defending to see if we can scrape a nil nil in a game where only a win is valid.

We have had some good counter attacks but not used them.  We can't go all out attack with 10 men.

This.

Keep that clean sheet, never know in the last few minutes what will happen, they'll push forward.

I’m switching off. Utterly ridiculous soft rules and VAR has destroyed football.

you missed a brilliant fighting performance from us 2nd half - just trying to walk it into the net the only negative.

That was the correct decision though.

Sending someone off for an handball on the half way line?

I don't think it was deliberate either.

[DemonicBaggie]

Correct decision. Probably done us a favour by removing a player whose mistakes were already stacking up relentlessly.

well thats a clever post thinking  10 men are better than 11

Thank you. Our performance after the dismissal obviously back up my observation.

I admire your passion Hopalong, but I’m glad to have walked the dog instead. 

Point is, I’m not disputing the laws but it is just this VAR thing stopping the flow and sendings off for things that might have been overlooked without cameras. 

The debating points are being eradicated and the contact has gone from the sport. Add to that the imbalance of power and it makes me enjoy watching my lad play Sunday league more. 

My Mrs and daughter were asking me and the lad why don’t we change to another team as the Albion just cause us misery. She got a right tongue lashing from us.

Denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity.

Vydra had a clear run on goal.

This!

There's no debate here.

Yes there is Nick. I'm not debating the decision but VAR's influence on the game and the fear players have now in every incident where a tackle of any kind can result in a sending off.

The whole blood and thunder has gone out of the game.
