No VAR what a difference on 10:45 - Aug 5 with 2813 views | TimSaint | The only thing they could have perhaps looked at, was the elbow to Tella's face in the first half. It was a great bit of skill and nutmeg to turn the defender, but ultimately, no foul was given and the pundits didn't really make anything of it. If Tella was caught intentionally and VAR had intervened, then a red card would have been handy, as we were already 1-0 up. It was refreshing not to have all the breaks in play and waiting for decisions to be made, but perhaps most importantly, goals could be celebrated in 'real time'. | ![](/images/avatars/6042.gif) |

Not stupid at all. Surely the point as proven in last Summer's WC, is to reduce time wasting or "gamesmanship " as they used to call it, unless it duits us of course! At least with MR's style of possession play we can waste time legally | ![](/images/avatars/1701.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I've no idea what they're adding so much on (perhaps SFC Ref can tell us), probably timewasting, but watching the Sky results prog today looks like it was applied to most games, as not many games finished before 5pm, whereas couple of seasons back they had the classifieds at 5. | ![](/images/avatars/11016.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I completely agree. I was so looking forward to watching games without VAR and they go and introduce another unnecessary stupid change - what, just make sure we can really appreciate that the people in charge of football are complete morons. Don’t they not know ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ ? An extra 15 mins of time. I don’t want to watch that. 1-2 mins at the end of the first half and 3-5 at full time is just fine. Some of us have got pies to buy and trains to catch. If people are wasting time, book them. Absolute, useless, f*cking morons. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

How’d you work that one out?

No your right, if it was for the exact time that the ball was out of play for everything, then it would’ve probably been something like 15 or so minutes. As this added time is good, as they’re adding on all the time wasted for any incidents that don't have the ball out of play for just a few seconds (so basically everything that’s not a quick free kick, throw in, goal kick etc…) meaning that we’ll get more value for money, and like Tella said yesterday, it’ll benefit our playing style more than other teams seeing how we rely on possession and keeping the ball in play for as long as possible to play well. As the things they’ve cleaned up on and done a for this coming season all look great, as adding that 30 seconds off the field of play for anyone who needs treatment (with the exception of when disciplinary action or subs have taken place) is going to stop players rolling around on the ground simply to waste time. All this extra injury time is gonna make players wanna time waste less as it’ll just get re-added, and if they don’t then the refs being more strict on it will lead to more cautionings for it. And then to make things even better they’re being even more strict on dissent leading to less idiots inspiring and influencing lower levels of the game abusing officials like they currently do. So outta all these new things they’re tidying up, footballs needed for a long time. And even then all these injury time totals will only get smaller and smaller as players realise there’s no point in time wasting anymore As it’ll just get added back on, and therefore when they stop wasting as much time the injury time will be reduced back to the more typical totals we’re used to. | ![](/images/avatars/29913.gif) |

Yeah well they’re adding on time now to the injury time total, for anything where the ball is out of play for more than a few seconds (so goal celebrations, disciplinary action, injuries, subs, any set pieces that aren’t taken basically straight away etc…) whistle previously all they added them on for were the major delays that held up the game by something like 30 seconds onwards, which weren’t exactly that often and made up very little of the time lost (hence the reduced injury times previously), whilst now they’re also adding on all the little extra ones which made up the majorly of the time lost in a game. | ![](/images/avatars/29913.gif) |

Fa cup game it took 4and a half minutes to decide that the ball took a feint touch on lyancos arm after nobody saw it .. so would have been no pen there .. the goal by adam Armstrong again bounced off him awkwardly then shaved his arm . He didnt control it with his arm ... so it would have been a goal . As for their other pen the bloke went down like he was shot with a 9mm he exaggerated. Then got up and celebrated like he won the cup already .he cheated..yes it was given for the retaliation slight push but you could argue if about what came before . Could have booked both players and gave us a free kick and it would have been less controversial. As it was he gave a penalty. The other goals chalked off for offside during the season we had a number of goals ruled out for less than a piss stain off which no linesman could possibly have seen and they would have stood ... Goals breed confidence and momentum,we would have won more games so yes if no var we would have had more points . And progressed in cup That being said im glad we are in the championship ...no bullshit var hold uos of hair breath offside nonsense | ![](/images/avatars/8588.gif) |

JWPs goal against villa that after a long VAR check got ridiculously ruled out. I think that was a turning point in the season. Dominated the game should have won and ended up losing 1-0. | ![](/images/avatars/7061.gif) |

It’s the time the ball was out of play. Goalkeepers taking a minute to take a kick or players taking an age for a throw in alongside fake injuries was driving me mad. Football watching is expensive. Fans are being cheated by time wasting antics. | ![](/images/avatars/10359.gif) |

I’m family certain the A.Armstrong incident was in the EFL cup, not the FA Cup, and yeah well it may have been harsh but it’s still correct under the LOTG. And with the pen, well the ref did give that one and sent CC off, as that had nothing to do with VAR other than double checking everything, as he may of gone down easily but it was still so stupid of CC to do what he did in the first place, as only 1 restart and card we’re gonna be shown after he did it. And yeah we did have many goals we scored, chalked off by VAR… but so did every other team, as well as all of us having many goals disallowed against us and VAR red card reviews gaining in our favour throughout the season. As we went down because we were shite, nothing to do with VAR whatsoever, and would’ve been the exact same even if last season had occurred like 6 years ago before VAR was introduced | ![](/images/avatars/29913.gif) |

Ref, here's a thought. If the norm seems to be about 9 minutes added in the second half of most games this weekend, next week in the PL, with VAR taking forever to sort offside and penalties, we could be looking at 15 added on in some PL games. What do you think? Also yellow cards will be an all time high this season | ![](/images/avatars/11016.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Yeah well they probably will be, but still if it means that we all get more value for money, see a lot less time wasting and issues around it all, then I don’t see what the issue is. As the idea behind it is that players will learn from this so will speed up, and therefore there’ll be less delays and the total injury times will get m9re and more reduced as time goes on | ![](/images/avatars/29913.gif) |
