People who are tired of seeing every major footballing tournament, year after year, plagued with with big matches being decided by terrible refeering decisions have no legitmate complaint and are just fat slobs?
What kind of monkey shit is this?
Funny too cause you hardly a peep against the use of VAR from the people actually playing the game. Occassionally they might not agree with how it is selectively implemented but very few seem to have an issue with concept

In the center of Asia? Just a guess.
When I am in the stands.
It's the kind of monkey shit that says sports is too often a video game played for TV viewers. Not for reality. Not for something that doesn't involve several cathode ray tubes, a mobile video processing unit, a satellite or two, and a couple of talking heads between them and the action. Because we all know the latter is far more real and true than actually being at an event.
Just like friends through Facebook on mobile phone screens are more real and true than actually having to talk to someone in real life.

So why yellow? I can't believe that went to VAR and ended in a yellow. Either nothing or a red. And it was definitely not "nothing" according to the ref, he reviewed it, he saw it, and he knew he couldn't send Ronaldo off, hence a yellow. Ronaldo also handled the ball with both of his hands in the final minutes of the game, a definite (second) yellow that was not given.
He's a professional player, he has a yellow card, and he does this. I wonder why.

The cheat and dive stuff does really ruin the match. But again, that’s mostly for the perspective of TV viewers again.
It’s like whatever actually happens in real life are just actors for a CGI animation they air on TV called football. It’s just that the players aren’t wearing green screen suits covered in sensor balls. They might as well, because the treatment is the same: real life is just fodder for the product they package and gloss as reality on TV.

My view on VAR is rather simple, Football is a multimillion dollar industry, and whatever can be done to prevent crucial errors influencing games, should be done. Especially if we have the technics to do so.
Does it slow the game down? Maybe, but not by THAT much. The Portugal game overdid it a little, but look how many mistakes would have happened if it wasn't for VAR. At the end of the day i gladly take a break over a wrong decision, and all the football romantic guys who are like "but but it's part of the game to discuss errors and ref decisions after the game" will change their opinion as soon as their team eventually get's fucked by a wrong offside call which costs them a trophy.
