Hmm, not sure I'd agree. I've seen no improvement at all to be honest. All that's happened is the errors are now more pronounced than they used to be.
You also can't celebrate a goal for 40-50 seconds after a goal is scored in a lot of cases.

No. New technology will be introduced in time that’s far quicker and more conclusive than some wank, fuzzy graphic and a crayola scribble. The VAR technology is not fit for purpose
I find that surprising. I feel after every match, there was half a dozen decisions I felt were wrong. Now there’s a spectacular fuck up a weekend. Maybe I’m recalling wrong.
As for the celebration thing, I’ve seen no evidence of that at all. Take yesterday as an example. Geordies scored and went mental. Three minutes later, the goal was given and they went mental again. Lovely stuff.
I’ve not yet seen a goal go in to muted celebrations in case there’s been an infringement.
What new technology?
New technology. Alternative replacement. I work in Tech find it hard to believe FIFA, PL or whoever can’t commission something better in a few months
Would be good if they tested it thoroughly next time too, rather shoehorning it straight in
Severe electric shocks to any player who questions the referee or assistant.
Laser burning of the head of any official or VAR operative who gets it wrong.
I'm all for new tech.
As I said, no more or less, just more pronounced.
Probably no horses to punch.
At every home game this season almost every goal celebration has been 'muted' till the screens announce the goal.
Maybe it's just in the block I sit, however, it's been this way since last season.
Okay so you're just speculating, cool.
They're not going to rid of VAR to bring in 'new tech' if anything they're going to improve on it but you just need to get used to the fact that VAR isn't going anywhere.
Haha
I would focus on automating offsides, most other calls are gonna be subjective regardless
All human interaction must be eradicated from the game.
I don’t have to get used to anything, son. I find it impossible to believe that this grainy, fuzzy nonsense is the optimal technology. Bin it, learn from it and improve/replace it once it’s ready
I still scream like an idiot when we score. The emotion just takes over and logic flies out of the window.
Admittedly, my next thought is “I hope it’s a goal”, but it hasn’t made me any more muted.
I'm going to try to get back to that. Gradually I've let 'What if VAR..." creep into my head, where it shouldn't be.
I don’t really understand this. There’s always been goals disallowed by linesmen in the past. Maybe it happens more now? I just can’t get on board with not acting like a fool when we score.
The thoughts of Neville...
I played for a club where a manager went mad after games if we felt a decision had gone against us. You feel like it’s us against the world . I get it. Everyone hates us, the refs are out to stitch us up and theirs bias v us. However I can never remember the club writing letters undermining the system and the whole refereeing community.
When I look back now I don’t think as players we always covered ourselves in glory with refs and also at a big club we all feel entitled and you have to leave and retire to be able to see that.
Woolwich’s letter and even the Liverpool statement a few weeks ago ( they had a genuine bad one v them ) are wrong. Do it privately . If I was Howard Webb I would stop apologising to them and get on with it. Managers and players make far more mistakes than refs!

Surely everyone is fed up with it by now. I can’t believe it has any defenders left. Tonight in the stadium it was terrible.
It’s not going away. It’s here to stay, just have to make it work better.
