Sports   (Talk about balls here.)

I hated it the first time I experienced it.
I hated it when it contributed to us exiting the champs league.
I hated it (not quite as much) when a decision went for us.
I hated it today.

It's not the fact that decisions go against us, as it seems that the decisions are the correct ones.

It's not the fact that it breeds uncertainty as the same uncertainty is present with referees.

It's not the fact that it is used at all, as I feel it has a place in football.

The issue I have with it as a match going supporter is the negative effect it has on the match day experience and the enjoyment of the game.

This is an inter-club issue not a City one, I hear the same from supporters from other clubs.

I much prefer the uncertainty of a referees's decisions and mistakes. Today's result was nobody's fault apart from City's, they should have taken their chances and scored more goals, simple as that but had we drawn without this VAR farce, I would have taken it on the chin and accepted that we weren't good enough to score and put the game to bed.

The problem I have is not with VAR per se, but with the way it is implemented. My view is that it should be used to assist the referee if he/she feels that there was an incident/infringement, NOT to replace the referee and make him/her irrelevant by checking every goal to see how they can come up with a reason to reject it (irrespective of the validation of the goal) in order to justify their existence.

Spontaneity has always been part of football and the highs and lows, whether right or wrong are part of that. It is very much at risk.

Sorry for the rant but I feel VAR is doing more harm than good.
