F*CK VAR

[LaPennaBianca]

Doesn't really matter - as Leeds getting promoted is a great story, so just as well it stands.

 

[Cogeur_le_Conq]

Never a pen and then two offside goals and people still don't want VAR

 

[LaPennaBianca]

Yeah. VAR has never given a foul when there was no foul

You're just imagining a scenario here because VAR has made you insane.

We're 3-2 down because Leeds' third was a mile off.

Agreed.

Glad the linesman didn't flag, it's more entertaining when they get things wrong.

 

[LaPennaBianca]

Imagine taking that away from those Leeds fans?

Why focus on the linesman’s mistake and not Dieng’s terrible goalkeeping on the cross that led to Bamford’s goal?

 

[Ravshoutsatbeck]

I think Bamford is possibly off as well. Similar margins to the cov goal at the weekend.

The more I watch it the more I think Dijksteel is a little unlucky for the penalty - he gets beaten but he doesn't make a challenge Rutter moves in front of him and their legs tangle

 

[LaPennaBianca]

Because players play the game and referees facilitate it.

This is the facilitators of the game failing to sufficiently implement its laws. The whole enterprise hangs on that.

Why are you more interested in criticising our players than recognising incompetence from officials?

 

[Ebor]

It's quite funny after the weekends VAR meltdown convo.

Just a hey, ho. A pisser but that's footy. Sky saying RVDB is possibly a red. Not for me. Maybe Bamford too then

Here's to more fun 2nd half!

Because two human beings made a mistake, an error in judgment. I don’t think one is more consequential than the other. Dieng should’ve done better and so should the linesman. We get on with the game.

Looked like RBDB won the ball to me? If not it's borderline and would likely be a red in the prem.

Winning the ball isn't enough anymore. It's about being in control. It was probably a foul and a booking but not a red. VAR would have done nothing, it doesn't give out bookings.

It'll even out over the season...

 

[TeaCider]

No VAR costs us a point.

 

[BoroMart]

Why focus on the linesman’s mistake and not Dieng’s terrible goalkeeping on the cross that led to Bamford’s goal?

Because us getting punished for our own mistakes is fair, getting punished for the officials mistake is not

Agreed, it was a yellow no more

 

[BoroMart]

No we wouldn't. VAR would have given a foul in the run up to Boro's first goal. And take 5 minutes doing it.

Except it wouldn’t

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

No VAR costs us a point.

The rest of the game would’ve played out differently if the offside had been given so it’s not as simple as you make out.

If we could defend properly we might’ve got a point or three. We were our own worst enemies tonight and it’s far from the first time.

Linesman can't even keep up with play, he's been miles behind every time.

That’s because reacting and keeping pace with pro athletes is near impossible…I suggest we provide some assistance through technology

Yeah, we'd probably have won if we weren't wrongly behind.
