have to admit Chuky, VAR is getting to me, I said from the outset this was one step from match fixing because of the way it has been set up, vague rules, rules that are out of character with the game and toe nail decisions accepted.
I have my keyboard ready for when I give up football

When the ball went in the net the reactions used to be

For your team it was a yessss

For the opposition it was noooo

For the neutral a nod of the head

now the reaction is, I wonder how they disallow that

Pagan’s post above got me thinking, we always have a house full to watch Spurs games, but instead of the madness following Spurs scoring, we all look at each other nervously in case there’s a chance of VAR ruling it out, I don’t like what it’s done to the game I love. When are ref’s going to check the pitch-side monitors rather than passing the buck? Lo Celso would have been off yesterday , don’t think he’s that type but a red’s a red .

Nine,, my family keep asking me to do that, I do not know if it is laziness or loss of interest but I find it harder to make a start. The keyboard does give me respite from the dullness of what is happening to football. In days gone by, fans used to drool over even visiting teams players, now you get boos, especially if the player used to play for the other team first.It was nice to see Zabaleta get a good ovation from City fans last week though, that took me back but it is just not that, going to watch Matthews, Lawton,Finney, Swift was an occasion looked forward to by all fans. The fan base to day is depressingly poor on quality, decency and fairness and I cannot see improvement anytime soon.I guess I have been lucky to have enjoyed that atmosphere in my time I think there is a wider social issue attached to this as well but at the heart of the thing is a team like Barrow who I watched play City in the league years ago is still going and there supporters must be enjoying the revival, good luck to them Big team fans loose sight of the lower league events but the struggle of survival and yet, without them we would not have a structure or a top 4/6/ 8/ whatever. My biggest fear with the advent of all the commercial money and betting companies is match fixing and nobody will convince me that betting companies are in it for a posh seat and meal only. I would certainly ban them from football strips, City have one which surprised me they even needed one. I do not want my Grandchildren or great grandchildren to be brain washed this way that betting is nice to do. Sorry for the ramble but football is fast becoming a bore as a game, decisions will be made by people who know absolutely nothing about the game…to its detriment

Brian, golden words as always a delight to read. Write that book people need to know the richness of your story.

Put me down for buying the first copy!?
