Not if it rules out goals like the one today I wont.
Get rid of VAR NOW! We want our game back! (...or not, some are happy)

VAR didnt rule out goals today, written offside rule did.
VAR is a good thing if it gets the right decisions and games are not decided on wrong decisions. Also, so far it appears the speed of decisions being analysed has speeded up which I think was the problem with it, so for me VAR is all good.
What I DONT like is all this tinkering with the rules. The one good rule change in the last thirty years is the back pass to the keeper rule changing. These new rules like not having to kick the ball our of the area on a goal kick, strikers in walls, its all a load of tinkering and poppycock. I hope that is the end of these changes to the beautiful game

Make it clear and obvious for all decisions as it was originally introduced to be.
No that would have never have been offside live.
Pfft. The Man's not gonna tell me when I can celebrate a goal! The machines are taking over, sheeple!! Just like in The Matrix!!! And when Breville stopped my mum from making toasties!!!!
I mean you are basically just coming up with your own definition of offside.
The rules are what they are. It’s not VAR’s fault for... enforcing the rules. You obviously take issue with the current rule itself, which is fine, but that’s a whole other topic.
That was one person.
Oh it works in sports with hundreds of stoppages so let’s put it into one with very few. Good logic.
I guess teams will just have to go back to scoring goals that aren’t marginally offside then!
It’s less subjective now, at least they can measure the position of the attackers body in alignment with other players and so on. By adding some margin or degree of tolerance it would just cause even more debate and uncertainty.
Because the referee wouldnt spot it. With VAR, they get a clear look at it to apply the rules how they see fit. So yeah. The only thing VAR does is enables referees to see tough calls clearly.
Did City get a VAR pen or something?
Yes because VAR's literal implementation of the rule makes little sense in a football context. So yes, a discussion needs to occur around the actual rule or VAR's implementation of the rule.
Far too incompetent? Weren’t they judged to be getting 90% or more of the decisions correct? Without stopping game flow...
We'll get used to the stoppages eventually.
Surely any amount of interruptions are acceptable if they allow for the outcome of a game to be won or lost fair and square, no?
In here yes.
As I said I don't agree with it. All decision should be clear and obvious mistakes even offside.
That was what they said they were going to introduce. I'd have accepted that.
And by current laws, it would be wrong decision.
And players and fans will simply have to start toning down celebrations. Whatevs.
That's not the issue people have with it. It turns the beautiful game into an American sport. Stop start.
If people like it that's fine. I never have. I'd rather have bad calls and a free flowing game but that's me.
Actually think controversial calls are part of the game too and taking them away takes something away from the game too.
They were told to give the benefit of doubt to the attacker so it would have been the right decision.
Did you watch the game? Because it quite literally did the opposite.
Why would you possibly want more stoppages?
Yeah it’s heading towards American Football type stoppages as VAR evolves. It will be used more and more for decisions all over the pitch. This is just the beginning, it won’t get any better.
I’ll ask again, any regular match goers who like VAR?
This is how I feel. Differences of opinion sure but it bugs me so much because I know that I personally will stop watching the sport, eventually, because of it.
Var is great.
I don't want more stoppages but I'll tolerate them in the interest of fairness.
Let's face it, far to many games down the years have been won or lost through a poor decision from the referee. VAR has been put in place to prevent that from happening.
Interruptions to the game are an unfortunate by-product of the VAR system but they're necessary all the same.
It was offside.
If that's the price to pay for some correct decisions, it is worth it. We just need to be a little patient.
Wonder if they'll (eventually) start showing adverts during VAR breaks?
My initial optimism gave way to the headlines coming out of Serie A last season. Add that to the fact that much of it was based on the small sample of WC 2018.
Fans in stadium are literally turning, in unison, to look towards a computer monitor now, to determine if they should celebrate.
Not sure what you’re making fun of.
Get over oldies, it's 2019..
They’re patently not necessary, hence the health of the sport. A bad decision one game was always made up by one the next game, or often just later in the same game.
VAR is awful for the game & everything we’re seeing is what those who have been against it have always said.
‘No it’ll be fine- you’re living in the dark ages! ‘
Well it’s here how so hope everyone enjoys it, I’ts going to change the game more than anything we’ve seen before

What a horrible thing indeed.
Mind you were getting correct decisions, what was it about 92% of the time, before VAR.
