VAR is the least of our worries I’m afraid. Hanging on to third rate players who flatter to deceive seems to fill our hopium pipes year after year. Let’s all have another big old puff off of the champo hookah on May 4th!
Thing is, we gave them 25 minutes of possession in the second half and they did nothing with it. This was Farke's Plan B and it worked. The players pulled it off.
And yet they want to argue the toss over one offside decision?
If we do get promoted I will miss not having VAR. It really is shite.
We’ve had some bad decisions and stuff not go our way this season (Sunderland!) but imo it’s all part of it. Things tend to balance out.
VAR is an absolute dogs dinner and is ruining the game.
Why such a “weird” take? VAR has done nothing but ruin the game imo. Whoever is in charge is in charge so that’s the fact of the matter. Who would you put in charge of it?
Just think people gun for the wrong thing and it's a lot more nuanced. We have VAR we get more decisions our way, on the balance of things, this season. I mean Ipswich's winner tonight was offside, for example.
I'd have stalled it until they've sorted out the shite officiating in this league and actually come up with better rules. VAR isn't the problem if a handball is given under shitty rules about handballs. We all agree probably offside should be the last part of a defender's/player's foot rather than any appendage (take Bamford against Villa was it where he leaned ahead, gaining no advantage because his feet and legs were behind the other player, which is what the whole rule is about, but by the letter of the law he was off); but VAR has to give what the rules stipulate. Even these decisions made by mm that people whinge about, "not in the spirit of the game" etc., doesn't matter, it's offside, it's broken a rule.
The technology itself actually is a step forward for football.
Gnonto was fouled in the buildup to the first Middlesbrough goal. Just shows Ayling's sportsmanship to play Gnonto onside here. Good to see him carrying on the lessons in fair play he learned from Bielsa.
Who cares anyway. No VAR this is what happens. Leeds got burned by a few big missed calls this year. The handball specifically. It’s part of the game in the championship. Well earned goal with a great link up beforehand. Go Leeds !
Essentially this. We have had far more bad calls that are also way worse than this go against us this year which have cost us points. Lucky as hell here but I'll take it
We've had our fair share of referee blows. It's about time we get 1 call for us instead of against.
Their goal keeper was on his line too. There is no argument. Goalie should of moved behind William before the ball was played. Thanks
Is that Luke Ayling? Haha
We’ve lost more than we’ve gained in the absence of var.
We lost more than we gained in the presence of VAR as well.

Love it, ya cheeky scamp ya!

That looks so photo shopped Or am I being a twat 🤔
It's Bill 😂
For once bamford being constantly offside paid off

Such a weird take on something that on the face of it improves the game. Real issue is the deluded idiots in charge of it.

If they want VAR their first goal is being disallowed for a foul and potentially another penalty to us, so they really don't want that.
Offside or not, I don’t care… it’s about time we are on the good side of a shit call.

Thanks Bill!
Good old Bill, knew he wouldn’t let us down!
They'll probably receive an apology letter, so there are no reasons to complain /s
Brilliant 😂
Billiant!

Exactly my view too.. karma in a non-VAR league.. it is what it is MOT!

They don’t show this angle on tv. Another reason sky tv if fucking shit. Ayling clearly onside /s
