Progress?

I'm finding it increasingly depressing reading the reports of
mainly premiership matches which seem to be about such things as
'was it offside,was it a penalty,did he handle,did he kick the
opponent,did he abuse match official.and all the numerous other
things thst crop up'
It seems to me that the fun side of football is now missing - I
used to go to a match and thoroughly enjoy the afternoon, more
so if your team won - part of this fun included -comments about
the referee performance etc. was quickly forgotten until the
next match - and I suppose this still applies at lower level
matches - but obviously the introduction of things such as VAR
has meant that it is now a different kind game at Premiership
level than anywhere else - I know progress is inevitable but if
2 matches were broadcast at the same time on free to watch TV -
a Premiership and a Conference game I know which one I would
choose

I watch more foreign football than I do PL. Eredivisie, NBI &
NBII, Romanian Super Liga mainly but also the Slovak fortuna
liga, Serbian and Albanian leagues. All but NBII have VAR now
unfortunately but seems to work much more smoothly, consistently
and less intrusively.

It's a funny beast VAR - I was at a game on Saturday where both
assistants made a terrible decision and VAR corrected it, a bit
slowly, but corrected two KMIs that were blatantly wrong (one
went for us, one against us). But I'd have on the whole much
rather we had the two KMIs and just got on with it. Yes, it
improves accuracy but in a game as subjective as football and as
flowing as football it isn't the golden bullet it is in other
sports, even rugby is more stop start so it works better. I was
almost hoping we got relegated this year so we could get rid in
the summer but the recent run has more or less guaranteed we
won't so might as well get used to it.

If my team ever got good enough to play a high level game I’d
much rather have VAR than not. However when I’m watching England
and they score I’m that guy still not really celebrating and
sitting in my seat awaiting confirmation from the good folk in
charge of VAR. That’s a big down side for me.

Var without the horrible mistakes would be good but with the
amount of mistakes happening then I don’t see it’s worth

A four minute pause at Fir Park yesterday to determine if a goal
was offside, we eventually decided it was but the guy wasn't
interfering so gave the goal anyway. What a good use of
everyone's time that was!
