I'm pretty sure I read in this thread last season that shitty fans could not wait for VaR to be introduced so that it will expose us, and that we will no longer be able to get dodgy results with the help of referee?

The debatable point concerning City's disallowed injury-time goal was nothing to do with VAR. VAR worked perfectly well.
The problem is actually the new, stricter handball rule. Before this season, referees were allowed a certain amount of discretion but now there is none.

Didn't the City fans cry out for VAR because that Llorente goal came off an arm?
Couldn’t agree more. I love the idea of video assisted calls but you should only be allowed, say 3 reviews, as in other sports/games. We are only into the 2nd week of the season and FOOTBALL is not the topic, it’s VAR, and it won’t stop. As pointed out, peoples emotions are tested to the limit and it will lead to many outcomes.... fights, not going to games etc. When I watch a game now I can’t celebrate or not celebrate whatever the case maybe, because you have no idea for at least 3/4/5 minutes whether the decision is gonna be overruled etc. The game has been turned on it’s head and it’s very very sad times indeed. I don’t care for the game much anymore.
I like the certainty of it. The referee judgement thing was leading to too many contested decision. Now it's clear and it's the same for all...
Eh no it’s not, I know Woland was posting something said by a City fan, and I agree with said fan. Just wait till we are on the receiving end of these bullshit decisions. Can’t wait to hear the shite in here then!
And Mane scored an offiside goal against West Ham.
The problem isn't that. The problem is that City fans are too bloody thick to understand it.
VAR was never going to be background technology, how could it be ? So naturally the media and fans (when it goes against their team) make a hullabaloo about every decision, good print and bait.
It's doubly in the crosshairs because of the new laws which many fans don't even know of, let alone understand, witness those City fans.
VAR will be a good thing overall however it's not an all-seeing 22nd century electronic adjudicator so naturally some human errors will still be made on fine line decisions (Adrian's penalty). It's still a very good first step to eradicating obvious human errors though and that can only be a fine thing for improving the chances of a fair outcome.

I see that as poetic justice because Abraham took a dive to secure the in-play penalty.
Not read the thread yet. Hearing that a female spurs fan got punched in the face by a male city fan at the game. Obviously bang out of order that but I guarantee you will see much more of this as people, pissed up and coked up celebrate last minute winners only to have it ruled out 5 mins later.

IMO the trouble at Schalke away was caused by VAR. There was the normal away section protected by a plastic screen. Next to it they had sold a few hundred seats to city fans. There was no segregation at all. All was relatively peaceful and they even sold beer to you at your seat. I remember commenting to my mate that this is how football should be. Then the two VAR enaltydecisions happened and the atmosphere turned toxic. There was hand bags at half time with drunk idiot city fans causing trouble on the concourse and then at full time that City fan nearly lost his life.
I think the main issue is that VAR decisions are unaccountable and are not explained properly to the crowd and this leads to a feeling we have been cheated.

With or without VAR .. if you go somewhere and intaganise a crowd then you can’t be surprised when a few of the crowed who are emotionaly charged lash our.. there’s a time and a place .. if some muppet gave you greef stood at a bus stop then you would not just stand there and take it... you wouldn’t go to a funeral and start taking the piss out of the greving family and expect to get away with it.. yep it wasn’t a funeral but emotions was just as much charged so any spurs ballooning did deserve what they got, and all the righteous ones saying otherwise should have a look at themselves and ask where is my breaking point coz you will all have one, then try listen to mr righteousness no2 telling you you crossed the line ..

VAR definitely wound people up at the end of the game last night, but I thought the whole game was a strange atmosphere. For the 1st match of the season I was expecting it to be bouncing but it was quiet for large parts. People flooding out on 82 minutes and also at the back of 317/318 a handful of idiots making hissing gas noises and shouts of Munichs left a sour taste in the mouth.

You wouldn’t walk into a mosque in Iran shouting anti Mohamed shit or Start shouting Michael Jackson is a kiddi fiddler at a MJ reunion without expecting some kind of kick back.. football grounds are emotionally charged places, if they wasn’t the game would be dead... you pick your time and place for that kind of shit.. if your in a min looking for trouble then yep go ahead and get what’s coming or get away with it but don’t pretend your not looking fir it.. if your stupid enough to do it with out back up then that’s where the laws of natural selection kicks in and you have put yourself in the realm of them that think they can fly or puts there hand in the fire to see if it burns...

I like Arsenal’s move with AA. If it ends up like German grounds that’ll be great.
I don’t know what Michael Jackson fans are like in Manchester - maybe City fans are just really weak.... but... expecting to get a kicking at a MJ reunion.
I mean... what’s a MJ Reunion???? Do they dig up his rotten corpse and ask it questions?
No wonder they struggle with the bus...

So when a last minute car winner against you is overturned, you shouldn't celebrate because it's not fair is basically what a few are saying there, & cos it's not fair they'll be forced to become violent...
Riiijjgggghhbht....
Riiijjgggghhbht....
Basically what they’re saying is - Man City fans are whopping fuck-knuckles.
Or words to that effect.
