Who do you want, who do you think we'd get? Me, Fulham (h) but will get Cambridge away
Absolutely Leddy and Tom Swig - happily accept the dodgy goals given against us (and the odd one given for us) to keep that instant celebration albeit with maybe a glance at the lino now and then.

And most match-going Prem club fans feel the same way. They want their football back.
And Leddrede is right, a goal should be celebrated in the moment.

Isn't Lakshmi Mittal a co-owner of QPR? His net worth is thought to be only about $15.5 billion.

Apparently Nkeng supports QPR so that appears to be the assumed reason for him linking with them on his socials.

OI - stopping fhe ESL is a good example but I still don’t think fans made VAR happen
I dont think QPR have any money, so don't think there's any truth in rumour. And if they do have a few spare pounds I doubt it would be on an unproven lower L1 player

One of the best things in football is spontaneity of celebrating when your team scores. I wouldn't mind having a few marginal off side decisions go against your team (that should even themselves out over a season) if it meant that I could celebrate at the time the goal was scored and not having to worry that a few minutes later it could be ruled out because a player didn't shave that morning.

D general. If he's off, I'd hope for his sake that it's QPR. Forest will put him in the U21s then ship him out on loan never to be seen again. QPR would probably have him in the first team squad with a chance to shine.

All academic though, we've no idea if the rumours are true.
Trigger - Stopping the European Super League. Introducing the Football Regulator. Fan pressure though mostly comes through media response to fan pressure so is indirect. There was little fan antagonism to VAR until it had been intoduced. I'd be happy to get rid as long as the broadcasters have no access to such a system. LD's 30 second rule would help though you would have to make sure that the opposite answer didn't pop up to the broadcasters after 45 seconds. Any line, whatever thickness has edges where there are grey cases. The VAR problem with offside is that it is 99.9% accurate, either you use it or you don't.

VAR is here to stay, but it does need more regular and more sensible tweaking…

I quite like watching Premier League games - it helps to ground me, and serves to remind me that we are watching normal football at Wimbledon rather than prima donna theatrials…

If you're not scrapping VAR there are two changes I would introduce. Have a time limit of say 30 seconds on all decisions. If VAR can't decide within this time then it stays with the on-field decision. Draw a thick line for off-sides. Anything within the line goes with the on-field call.

Come on OI eat a reality biscuit buddy. Since when have fans introduced anything into the football rule book?

The demand for VAR largely came from fans who got cross about clear refereeing mistakes. Fans may be right now to regret wanting it but I'd bet that within a few years of scrapping it there would be complaints about bad decisions again.

it does work in other sports, maybe those more suited to it in the main.
Agree about scrapping VAR. Takes all the spontaneity out of a game. Agree about the Premier league too - I have just cancelled Sky Sports as even when I had it on it was just background, and for EFL I would usually be out at a game.

I often wonder how today's L1 compares with pre Prem 1980s bearing in mind the number of foreign players in all the leagues. Maybe we are the old Div One?

I can barely recognise half of the players in the premier league these days and I often don't know who certain players are when they get called up for England.

I've been bored with the premier league for years and only watch the highlights or only the goals if possible. I feel just the same with the champions league.

VAR or no VAR, there's no value in the Prem for me anymore. Just arbitary collections of foreign millionaire players and coaches. Not sure how anyone identifies with any of it anymore.
