The World Cup is going to be a nightmare VAR has reached a point where it has to be ditched. How does it take three and a half minutes to award a goal when every single one of us knew from one replay that it was a goal without any doubt? Ruining games and denying us of some stellar moments for the sake of half a fucking millimetre. Ludicrous. The World Cup will be shit anyway. VAR will just add an extra layer and it won't be glitter. Looks like the US, England and Australia are determined to make their protests and FIFA are threatening to severely punish. Should be interesting from this point of view if nothing else. To echo comments of FIFA and the Qatari government, it should be about football and nothing else. Sadly, in FIFA's case, this stance is only when it suits them. Just watch how quickly they revert to telling us all how we should think once their corrupt World Cup is over.

This is based on what pundits say so can't be wholly relied on. And even after numerous replays and angles they don't often agree Anyway, if it is then if VAR gets involved, give them ten seconds to decide. If it's clear and obvious then they could do it in five Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was pretty much abandoned according to Tim Vickery on Trans Euro last night, they only had a couple of mins of ET to play when the goal went in and all hell broke loose. Technically only a friendly as well, it's a charity shield type game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon it will have been a relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FA website has it as the 7th (FGR) our official fixture list I downloaded pre season has it as 14th (Portsmouth) I blame Hart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlust Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Charlton are the only London club left in the EFL Cup after tonight. Watched Chelsea v City which City predictably walked, but felt sorry for Connor Hall's little brother who played well overall but couldn't put away a couple of decent chances. Only 18 though so I hope he isn't gutted for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he is Souvern (Slough) and it's not like we really brought Connor on, did we. Met him once in Homebase. I was with a friend who somehow knew him. Talking about how he wanted a run in the team he actually welled up with his frustration. Time has shown that he's Conference at best but he was potting dozens in the reserves at a time we were properly shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more frustrated for the young'uns we let go who went on to become quality players in the past to be honest, Mooy and Dzemaili spring to mind. I know neither had a chance of playing at the time, but how we could have done with them over the last 10 years even though we'd have sold them when the finances went west. Nonsense I know, but I still can't help wondering.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
