Serious question: was it not a trifling touch from a back pass?
Agree that looked awful, but I think you have to separate the way VAR has been implemented from the concept in general. The decision to leave a stadium full of supporters with no idea of what's going on for 2 minutes is moronic, but that doesn't change the fact that VAR has made tonight's games much fairer.The simple VAR offside in the Liverpool game took 2 minutes to sort out. There were no TV replays shown during that time, however we did have enlightening footage of the referee standing still with a finger to his ear for a minute
Surely you've contradicted yourself there? City didn't hesitate to celebrate when they thought they'd won it, so I don't understand how the emotion was lost? And if I was a Spurs fan, I'd much rather have a dramatic rollercoater of emotion that VAR has created than simply going meekly out of the CL because of a wrong decision!Goals will become less exciting. City players and bench were celebrating wildly, as you would expect, to be made to look fools 45 seconds later.
Goals will no longer be celebrated in the way they are now because players, team officials and fans a like will be afraid to celebrate a a goal until VAR confirms it, by which point the emotion of the goal being scored will be lost
Will become. Future tense. There is no contradiction.Surely you've contradicted yourself there?
