Another crap TV choice

Why are you highlighting the foot in football when headers are a perfectly legitimate way of scoring?

No one is desperate for those goals we’ve just watched football for that many years we’re baffled that they’ve decided to change it so ball to hand only exists outside of a goal.

They should call it headball.

They've changed it because they realized allowing players to score with their arms is dumb. It's really all there is to it.

United's midfield is awful

No, what you’re saying is dumb. Fans of every club think what you’re saying is dumb. Pundits all over the country think what you’re saying is dumb. Actual PL players think what you’re saying is dumb. You’re in an absolute minority here thinking accidental handballs like Jimenez’s should be chalked off.

Mata is ours....

Never looked like missing that.
Very classy finish from a classy player.

VAR is ripping the guts out of football. Fans aren't celebrating goals properly and that's just not right.

Did +10.5 corners. 8 in first half. Zip in 30 mins in the second. Lovely stuff.

When have I ever had a a problem with that?

I think when a defender clears a ball and it ends up in a dangerous chance because a guy blocks it with his arm like Jimenez and like Rice a week or two ago that's not a fair goal. It defeats the point of the game and it encourages players to try and be snide. It's far easier and fairer to say that they all don't count.

Football's biggest problem with VAR is that for far too long the rules weren't enforced properly and now that VAR is allowing it people think that the game is being ruined. It's going to be hard to fix that. Refereeing standards being so low have done lasting damage as things that have always been not allowed are suddenly not being allowed. I don't just mean handballs.

How can an attacker be snide with an accidental handball? To be snide it would have to be a deliberate handball which would never, ever get past VAR. It just removes the unpredictability of the game which is what makes it so special. Or used to.

Make yourself bigger and hope the ref doesn't think it's intentional. It isn't really that hard to see it happening.

Again I fail to see how the game is being ruined by disallowing handball goals. Plenty of wild stuff still happens.

Making yourself bigger goes against the silhouette crap they do now. You couldn’t get away with it.

You fail to see how supporters are consistently being robbed of the joy of celebrating their team scoring. Maybe you feel this way because you don’t go watch it.

Wonder how long before Neymar picks up an injury with his sister’s birthday fast approaching.

I mean I watch the games myself and have yet to not celebrate a goal because it might not count. So my personal experience is it's changed nothing. The only thing that's changed is the level of fume when we get screwed.
