I always try to be fair, bias gets in the way sometimes so it doesn’t always work. But in this case it seemed like that would have been a normal play, the kind that happens a thousand times every week EXCEPT they had VAR catch it and looking at that replay at a good angle and at a much slowed down speed I must admit the foul looked clear as day to me.
He touched the player first then the ball. It’s the kind of foul if that had happened to us we would
be punching holes in the wall if the goal wasn’t disallowed.
Then there’s Gatti who should’ve been sent out. And Cuadrado pissing me off with his stupid diving every fucking match.

I feel this is a slippery slope which spirals more and more out of control.
One thing is to use VAR as a tool to help out the refs make the right call when unsure. But to reverse an already-made call to play on suggests that VAR can be used by the officials as they see fit.
Either you go full NFL or you make clear guidelines when to use technology (like in Tennis). This in-between thing, where some calls are reviewed and reversed, while others aren't even reviewed is pure poison for the sport.

Seriously though.
@Badass FIGC, do let me know when you're gonna be there. I'll be in Napoli in a couple of weeks myself ... celebrating my engagement anniversary back on the Amalfi coast (which is the Juve-Inter infamous May 5, 2002). And I'll be going by Herculaneum on my way back to Naples on the 10th. So please stay clear.

Thing is VAR is meant to be used to identify a clear and obvious error. At best that challenge was a 50/50 so it's not clear and obvious especially as the ref had a good view of it in real time. Total misuse of the system.

VAR was always a lie for morons who think you can digitize humanity and get closer to some universal truth of god. It's religious nonsense.
Just as it's nonsense to believe that a match where Juve did little to deserve a point, a bad ref call stole their deserved victory.
1-0 is better than 5-1. But this club still has no business thinking it deserves to win the league or better the likes of an Oh-semen.

Did we won all the games we deserved to win?
Did we won some games we shouldn't win?
Maybe it's not always about what you deserve, but what you actually achieve?

Maybe in a surprise counter way. But that marking on Jack in the Box?
There was a time I thought every Neapolitan was a varying level of con artist. That's still true, just that I've encountered some cooler people at the bottom of that ladder of success.
And since then I discovered a lot of local things that are somewhat redeeming.
Not saying I love Napoli, but there's something about a place that you have to earn your right to be there. Think New York City. Think "Chicago: Where the Weak Are Killed and Eaten." If you can't hack it and the town spits you out, you sure as hell didn't belong. I can respect that much, fokking tourists and all. The best digital nomad is a digital nomad with six knife wounds in a Quartieri Spagnoli alleyway.

But I'm confused, are you saying you've been engaged since 2002?
Jesus Christ we are facing a Curva closure because chanting that crapoli fans should use soap when washing is somehow territorial discrimination. FUCK OFF FIGC
