How utterly depressing that football has come to this

Nah I don't see it like that. Top level sport often comes down to small improvements that can swing the balance slightly in your favour. Every time there is a new rule, people will analyse it and see what can be done for an edge.
Although VAR should be scrapped immediately, only leaving the goalline technology in place.

I meant in relation to VAR, convinced that it wouldn't be something most strikers would have spent much time on pre-VAR.
VAR ruins football and should indeed be scrapped. More refs making more mistakes, really don't see how it has made any improvement to the game.
Goal line tech makes sense though, agreed

Just got round to watching the highlights (started watching last night but decided to go to bed after the first goal went in. D'oh).
Well played Cov. Could easily have tipped the other way.

Another woeful decision in last nights game. Leeds player couldn't have been more obviously offside.

You would imagine the relevant authorities would use video replays to assist eliminating such impactful errors.

I think Bamford was obscuring the linesman's view, that was the pundits opinion anyway. In that case perhaps the linesman should have used Bamford as his reference point and he was a yard offside too, so they really should have got that one right.

Pundits always give refs excuses, or sometimes just completely breeze over mistakes in their entirety. As you say, even with the excuse it should still be obviously offside.
Just another hugely important game where the big refereeing mistake has conveniently gone the way of the 'bigger' team.

The 'lines' always seem to be scrutinised but never the moment that is freeze framed for purposes of drawing the line on. When you look at such images that ball is often blurred, how can they be sure of the exact moment the player 'played' the ball when this is the case? When you a talking about milometers, milliseconds make a difference.

We’ve been talking about VAR now for a few seasons and we’re still non the wiser. Get rid of it for the sake of the game and get back to referees/line persons making decisions. And whilst we’re at it, handball must be intentional which again the referees/lines persons judge upon what the see. Some they’ll get wrong and some they’ll get right, a bit like today with VAR, but at least we’ll have things decided in real-time.
Just glad we haven’t got it at our level!

Might have got that penalty v Stevenage at 0-0 and gone on to win the game if we had. And Lincoln might not have got theirs meaning we drew that game. If we had VAR we might be in the playoffs now...
No, I still don't want it in our league.

I don’t, we need to be better than that, and I’m sure there’s been decisions throughout the whole season where some have gone our way and some haven’t. Swings and roundabouts, and I’m not talking about Swindon

Human error is part and parcel of football. Whether that be refs or players but over a season I would say it balances out.
Rather than spend money on VAR I’d rather the FA put the money into increasing refereeing standards across the leagues.
Too many officials in the premier league hide behind the safety blanket of having VAR make their decisions for them. In our leagues we have too many officials who aren’t up to the required standard. The ref on Friday being a prime example of this.
I was at the game Cov fans totally outsung Man U all game- I especially loved the rendition of We'll Live and Die in These Towns. You'd hope we'd be able to create something similar at the new stadium or even in the next few years.

My favourite discussion on VAR is when all the arguments boil down to "he should only be offside if it's clearly visible to the human eye"
So what a linesman does then? Cool idea.

Welsh Premier League will have VAR (lite) next season. I'm looking forward to decisions being made based off of a view from the halfway especially offside.
