      I wonder if all the players played the game in the correct spirit if we would have ever needed VAR in the first place… perhaps if they were all a bit more “honest” the refs wouldn’t need to check to see if anybody was “cheating”…

        Chucks, the reality is and I’m sure you know this, there are Managers, that ‘programme’ their players to play in a certain manner that’s going to cause infringement.

        It be flattering to think this as a ‘last-decade’ thing, but I sense strongly, it’s something that’s gone on over 30 years, so honesty and self ownership and responsibility maybe is asking.

        I keep referring to the Women’s game, but bar Cameroon and their antics, the Ladies in general to a degree out there put the Men’s game to shame.

          Silly-Willy-Nilly, as much as I love you I’m going to disagree with your “there are managers” part… I’m going to suggest it should read “every manager”… it’s part and parcel with the game now.

            And with regards to the women “behaving” themselves, the reason is very obvious if you think about it.

            There is nowhere near the level of “cash” in it, the players are still playing for, dare I say it, honour and glory… I’m willing to bet several pillowcases of Monster Munch if/when the cash gets the same as the men’s game they’ll be going down like Linda Lovelace…

              Mate, that’s the ultimate recipe for disaster, once the money comes in. The state of a human mind changes as preciousness breeds in because of Stakes and because if Greed (regret in thinking cynically).

              The BBC are and have been cringeworthy and desperate in their way to Market the Women’s game and raise it’s awareness, but once the big-bucks takes shape, that’s it.

              Those Lefties, won’t admit it though – they’ll be looking for a Scapegoat.

                Chucks, for the record mate, never wanted that type of outcome re the CL final. A lot of our feelings come from what happened last year and Real Madrid. That was just awful in how Salah was treated.

                Always go back to what Glen Hoddle pointed, but then I hit a brick-wall in Man City and being pointed out that they shouldn’t be begrudged of all their domestic trophy triumphs, and some may argue the point in rightly so.

                      Wouldn’t bet against it pal, the girly tennis players get the same cash for playing less tennis, only time when there will be a law saying the women have to get paid the same as the men…

                        There’s not the same interest and Club dedication Chuckster in Women’s football and I don’t think there ever will be imo, that’s what drives the money in the men’s game. Your Monster Munch are safe.?

                          What about the disgraceful over-celebrating from the US women’s team against Thailand? I can’t remember ever seeing a mens team do that nonsense.

                              VAR if implemented correctly will benefit City. We were on the receiving end of many wrong decisions last season including some major ones.

                                Given City’s offensive attributes and how they tend to dominate games I think that’s probably right Jim.

                                  Has to be implemented correctly, not half arsed and selective like it has been so far.

                                    Still don’t like it, half-arsed or not.

                                        Yes, Large James, there will be times when my boys benefit from it, there will be times when they don’t, there will also be times when your boys benefit from it, and times when your boys won’t. Overall, I still despise the system and do not think it’s good for the game, certainly not for the fans watching.

                                          I think it needs to be implemented properly. Show the decision on the screens. What are they scared of, makes you wonder some times. To have it and then still make obvious wrong decisions is a complete farce.

                                            Agree Liverpool got ripped off big time at times. Huge goal disallowed at arsenal and the worst decision of the season was kompany not been sent off at the ethiad in Jan againest Liverpool
