FA Cup Final

[Paris]

Can you even begin to imagine the scenes in Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza right now.

Emphasis being on watch. You can talk about it academically all you like, but in the situation you initially celebrate and then there's the concerns or doubts.

That limits the celebration to some extent - in the here and now, it didn't feel the same. That's not academic, but comparing with decades of celebrating.

In the games of last season where we had VAR, there was a marked difference: against Man United; DCL against Burnley with will it be offside; DCL vs. Brighton.

The last one would have normally caused madness, but it was all a bit urgh. They're the three off the top of my head.

Which game?

Which game?

1-0 at home where Richarlison scored the winner. DCL had a goal disallowed at the Street End, which people didn't really celebrate.

I wish we'd hurry up and win something FFS

Earliest 2030 imo.

Which game?

I noticed it a little bit at the Chelsea game last season with Dunc in charge. It finished 3-1 but I feel like every goal got checked for a while and I dont think there was anything remotely wrong with any of them. I was almost scared to celebrate the DCL goal for 3-1.

I didn't even remember that but watching it back could it have been because the entire Street End watched him slap it into the net with his arm?

What?

No, it wasn't as most people at the time thought it should have stood as it looked like his shoulder/chest in the split second it happened without slow motion.

Not everyone sits right behind the goal with a clear view, either. Before VAR, people would have celebrated the goal but after lots of incidents people didn't.

You doubt more decisions and that has an impact, surely it's not a difficult concept to grasp?

I grasp what you're saying, what I'm saying is I still (pre-covid) see full throated celebrations every week so I just don't really buy the VAR is ruining football narrative.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Jealous sick of them.

Deserved - they've bought very well for years now.

We buy Klaassen and Rooney. They bought Tielemans and Maddison.

Why are all these jarg footie accounts giving it “games gone” “VAR has wrecked it all” when this is a pretty clear offside even without it?

Its been creeping into cricket too, long before covid. Hate it. A pointless annoying americanism.

I hate the presentation graphics on telly when the teams are named too. so contrived how the players walk up in a little bubble and fold their arms. They do it in the cricket too

 

[JordanianEmbassy]

Even better...have that you cockney blerts

Really sorry to be a tedious pedant, but no way in the world Chelsea are cockneys. Not even the right side of the city.
