I still like Ange, I'm not jumping on the hate bandwagon. Wouldn't want him managing my team mind.

 

Postecoglou also bemoaned the innovation of referees announcing VAR decisions inside the stadium. “I’m really surprised at how people in this country are so easily letting the game change so much so quickly,” he said. “It’s changed more since VAR has come in since I’ve been involved than in the past 50 years. I mean, did everyone really love the announcement today? [But] this is what the people want. That’s what I keep getting told.

“The game is changing on the basis of technology, and I’m saying why isn’t anyone speaking up about it? Especially in this country. You guys think you’re custodians of the game, you’ve got a song that says ‘it’s coming home’, this is your game, and yet it takes an Aussie from the other side of the world to be the one that’s most conservative about changes.”

 

 

"Quick!  Look over there...!"

 

We wouldn't want the discussion to focus on him benefitting from an outrageous refereeing error.

 

Come on up, No2, we've still got room on this bandwagon.

The cup games without this circus are so much better.

 

Yeah, league cup and even the Championship (watched the odd game last year when there was nowt else on) have been a sort of reminder of how shit football is with VAR. I was watching fucking Watford v Derby or something and it felt like a great game. It clearly wasn't, but just having a game not stop for four minutes to access whether someone's toenail was offside 20 seconds before a goal made it seem that way.

 

VAR is making it very easy to not give a shit about football. Obviously many aspects of the sport have got worse over the last 20 years or so but none made such a significant negative step as this rubbish.
