Lol I really don't understand the argument of "it's ruining goals I can't even cheer for them anymore". So you were cool cheering for a goal that shouldn't have been one and keeping it versus now when you actually get a goal taken away that should be taken away? Get over yourselves.

I cheer every goal and if it ends up being taken away I accept it. It is you taking the joy out of celebrating real goals, not VAR. Also, VAR has made some hilarious decision-based cheers occur and that's like an extra goal the game didn't have before.

In the states when we had PL mornings come to Austin we brought our Palace support clubs from all over the state and watched the game outside on a big screen with the Arsenal fans next to us. I hear this type of event would never occur across the pond. It was such a thrill, and the VAR decisions prompted the biggest reactions out of one fanbase or the other. Y'all act like it's taking away, I feel like it's only added to tbh.

Keep celebrating your goals until someone gives you a reason not to tbh.
