En natteravn fra Kverneland som er lidenskapelig opptatt av fotball og hockey.. Og da spesielt Newcastle United og NY Rangers.. Spiller fotball for Frøyland IL.
It is frankly insane, and so ruinous to competitive balance, how much we have just normalised a small group of clubs being able to so regularly pilfer the best players from other teams *in the same division*
(I know it has been rejected, but 'opening' bid is telling)
Hver dag!
Hver eneste jævla dag!
Dommeravgjørelser, VAR-sjekk, frysbilder, armbevegelser, kuvendinger og endeløse tv-diskusjoner med «eksperter» som åpenbart ikke er eksperter på fotballreglene og deres stadig nye fortolkninger.
Vær så snill. Få det til helvete vekk.
Og på et vakkert maleri eksisterer det en stygg oljeflekk. Den heter VAR- og forsøker med alle midler å ødelegge også denne skjønnheten av en fotballkamp
Stor. seriøs undersøkelse. Som viser VARs enorme upopuaritet. Et produkt ingen kunder vil ha. Men som av uforståelige, uforklarlige grunner trykkes ned i halsen vår, og vi kan visst ikke velge det bort.
I et fungerende marked, hadde VAR blitt stående usolgt på butikkhylla.
Premier League fans deliver damning verdict on VAR. 75% of 7,946 fans polled by the Football Supporters’ Association “didn’t support the use of VAR”. Too long, too forensic, too much of a joy killer, fans say. Findings shared with Premier League and PGMO.
92% of fans surveyed “agreed” that “VAR has removed the spontaneous joy of goal celebrations” (82% of them “strongly agreed”).
85% of match-going fans “strongly disagreed” with the notion that “VAR makes watching football more enjoyable”. And 83% of those watching on TV.
85% of match-going fans “strongly disagreed” that “VAR decisions are generally resolved in a reasonable amount of time”. Echoed by 83% of those watching on TV.
Only 18% agreed that “VAR has improved the overall accuracy of refereeing decisions”.
72% are “concerned about the expansion of VAR beyond its current remit”.
79% “strongly disagreed” with the suggestion “that the match-going experience is better with VAR”.
67% “strongly agreed” that they preferred “watching games that are played without VAR to games with VAR”.
84% “strongly support” goal-line technology.
34% “strongly opposed” to the idea of a challenge system (two per game per team).
“These findings back up the FSA's previous survey in 2021, where fans expressed misgivings about the introduction of VAR,” says Thomas Concannon, @WeAreTheFSAPremier League network manager.
“The vast majority are reporting the same concerns five years on - the loss of spontaneity when celebrating goals, and an overall worsening of the match-going experience. We have shared the survey results with the Premier League and PGMO, and look forward to discussing its findings with them.” Fans surveyed of all PL clubs and all ages (Under-18 to 65+).
There are people out there that still believe the current financial rules in football aren't there to protect the elite. I look forward to Chelsea going on another spending spree this summer whilst Villa need to sell key players.
"Introduction of VAR has diluted the game!" 😳
"What's the point!" 😡
Adam Catterall insists football is worse with VAR & it needs to be abandoned! 😱
Christian Purslow who has run three Premier League clubs: CEO at Liverpool and Aston Villa, managing director at Chelsea:
‘The rules were put in place to constrain Newcastle United and it’s an unfair constraint’…

On the “Civil Wor” at Newcastle, maybe if Liverpool had acted earlier and offered a proper fee for Alexander Isak, a world-class centre-forward with three years left on his contract, Newcastle would have had time and funds to bring in a suitable replacement. £110m was disrespectful to Newcastle (and Isak). And who are Newcastle going to get at this late stage of the window with suitable targets moved elsewhere? Yoane Wissa is not like for like. Newcastle need two anyway with Callum Wilson gone. It’s very easy to see why Newcastle and their proud, tough owners who don't like losing - or losing face - are playing hard-ball and determined to keep Isak. The saga continues. #NUFC #LFC
The media have done their part in unsettling Isak
For over a year, he was “going to sign for Arsenal”, even their own fans believed he’d be going there
When that wasn’t happening, it’s all been about Liverpool
Weird times when the media can orchestrate a player’s future.
@YouMeAnd1939 I agree that clubs like Villa, Forest and Newcastle are on the wrong side of history when it comes to PSR. The rules were introduced to prevent a NEW Chelsea or City challenging the established elite. They have nothing to do with either profitability or sustainability.
