It's always the same whenever Taylor referees the game He completely loses control and he's always centre of attention

Any sort of stats and figures regarding VAR and 'correcting calls' I always take with a complete pinch of salt. At the end of the day it's just one referees opinion against 2 others in a studio somewhere. Even something that could be black and white like offside calls can be murky by adding in human opinions of whether someone is interfering or standing in the keeprs line of vision For example, the van Dijk shoulder charge on Gordon at SJP earlier this season. Where does that appear in the statistics? Does it go down as a correct call because the referee didn't give a penalty and VAR didn't intervene? Even though the vast majoirty of fans would say that VAR should have intervened and given a penalty? But then again some fans would say it wasn't a penalty at all and it was the correct call So who is deciding what these 'correct calls' are? It's not black and white like goalline technology, it's completely subjective and always will be. It's why VAR can never work in a sport like football

You can't compare a quick glance at the lino to having in the back of your mind that VAR could cancel a goal for any reason minutes after the goal has been scored

I think the away team always call it and it's only in the last few years they've started turning us around. Not sure if before it was sort of a gentlman's agreement to not turn us around but it's happening ever game now. Not sure if it's happening at other clubs or just at SJP

What do you mean mine was from 2019? It's literally got stats of the opinions from last season

You can't make a claim that there's "untold amounts of polling done among matchgoing fans in multiple nations that say it is" and not provide a single scrap of that evidence. You're telling me you've previously read all nations annual reports and that's how you know it? But can't find one now? Or anything else? Here's some opinion polls for you: https://yougov.co.uk/sport/articles/49627-9-out-of-10-premier-league-viewers-want-changes-to-var-or-for-it-to-be-scrapped-altogether

of course the FA are going to say it isn't ruining goal celebrations (if that's what they've said that is). You said there's a huge amount of evidence saying it hasn't ruined football celebrations but haven't provided even one but had time to do all that maths. I bet if you asked the majority of people on here they'd say VAR has impacted their celebrations negatively

Got a link to the polls?

This absolutely isn't true

He will be yeah

I was saying Boo-ruce

Not if Bruno was calling it you wouldn't

I'd have not been able to sleep for weeks if we were playing Spurs in the final, at least I'm going with no expectations in this case

Hypothetically, if you were offered the chance for this match to just go straight to penalties and not play the rest of the game ,would you take it?

When was that?

Keepers next year only get 8 seconds to release the ball otherwise the ref gives the opposition a corner

My Benitez one would have been the 2-1 win against Man City

What's the best "tactical masterclass" game you've ever seen from a Newcastle manager?

Sunderland on Sky tonight

He started the last cup game

He's really slow

God gave him all the technical ability in the world and countered it by putting an invisible lorry on his back whenever he tries to run

Savage is unbearable

"So Eddie, tough game tonight where you didn't have a shot on target against the runaway league leaders, can you tell us why John Ruddy was on the bench tonight?"
