Firstly. I'm not a fan of VAR. I like the human side of the game. I liked arguing that man utd only won leagues because the ref was on their side and they get away with blatant cheating. (obviously I'm correct)
However seeing the goals ruled out these last two weeks already, it has taken away the sheer jubilation of scoring a goal.
Id like to see a team + fans remain pure silent when a goal goes in.
No celebration. No noise from the crowd. Nothing. Take the human element (jubilation) away and act like the robots controlling it.
Never gonna happen but if things continue I can see players not celebrating a goal but rather the decision to allow the goal.

Nah, it's brilliant. The hilarity of it being ruled of twice with the same fixture is great. Tons of drama as a neutral. There is still debate, and people are arguing about the the decision (although by the letter of the law, it is correct). People claiming now that they want bad decisions is ludicrous to me. The rules exist for a reason.
At the end of the day, it got the decision correct. I don't understand the same set of fans who have been moaning for so long about the decisions referees have been making for decades finally employing technology to get the decision correct, now complain it takes the "human element out of the game," even though it's still a human at the screen, or that it takes too long. They've brought this on themselves.
I think they could be a bit more smooth about how they handle it in the ground, but it's a real improvement in my eyes.

I prefer it with technology to aid them because there’s no doubt involved from human error. Now partisan refs are a thing of the past and the best team more often than not should win.

Definitely a great thing for me, even more so when watching on tv with the analysis being done at the same time as the refs. I think the issue is more for those in the stadium who do not know what's going on, this will be solved soon with big screens in the stadium I presume. If you go to a F1 race, for those who follow the sport, you will get completely bored if you don't have a screen as you cannot follow the race only by watching the track. It will be the same for football. I think the best thing with VAR is for offsides, it's humanly impossible not to make mistakes without technology. The game is just fairer with VAR and it's the most important

Yeah, I'll back that red, the more fair and correct the decisions are, the better for everyone. In the past managers like Fergusson used to intimidate officials, that can't happen now with car.

I have an idea. copyright: all rights reserved. They should make real drama out of out. At the moment often people don't even realise that a VAR chack is on after a goal.. and some only realise when the ref hasn't run back to the centre spot after they finish celebrating. What they should do is let the players celebrate for say 10 secs, but then if a VAR chack is going on, the stadium lights should flash or get dimmed, a siren should sound and a Darth Vader voice should repeatedly anounce that VAR check is in progress. Make some real theatre out of it
