VAR and Referees. Stupid decisions (alien.top)

Football is finished! I love watching football, it’s my passion (as well as playing but age means I can’t as much nowadays). I watch about 7/8 games at the weekend, mostly premier league but also LaLiga, Serie A and Bundesliga. Then during the week I watch the European cup and Europa league. But the refs and the ridiculous rules are ruining the game. Last night in the Fulham game and tonight watching Newcastle vs PSG the refs and VAR have given the stupidest penalty decisions. I’m really starting to lose my love for the game. I don’t care who won or drew the game but the integrity of the game has gone. I hate it and it’s just been getting worse season after season. This is probably more of a rant but I just feel let down by the game I love to watch

Human error is just that, human. Now we have human error amplified by technology. As I responded to someone else, I much prefer the brilliant game I grew up with to this Frankenstein monster.

Over time, bad calls even out. That’s just the laws of probability. I’m sure there are legions of other Bundesliga fans who feel hard done by calls that went in Bayern’s favor, right?

This mess hasn’t really improved anything but has cost us so much.
