@HACKETTREF Quite right. Most importantly however, it ruins (I do not use the word lightly) the match day experience of the paying fans. We cannot celebrate a goal anymore. I say this as a fan whose team has actually benefited from VAR this season but I still dislike it intensely

@KellySotherton They are correct

[Simon Posner @SiPosner]

@AdamCrafton_ @FansAgainstVAR_ I think clear and obvious (wrongly) went out of the window ages ago

[Simon Posner @SiPosner]

@cmfc1885 @FansAgainstVAR_ I detest VAR but, of course, every now and then it will get something right. This is clearly one of those occasions

[Simon Posner @SiPosner]

@KellySotherton Marvellous isn’t it? I always find jealousy such a petty emotion

The Green Party has complained about this cartoon of Zack Polanski by the The Times.

They’re deeply unhappy with it. Whatever you do, do not repost!

[Simon Posner @SiPosner]

@johncrossmirror And yet so many fans left at 83 minutes. What is wrong with these people?

@LilianGreenwood A very happy birthday

@HACKETTREF My 17 year old daughter and fellow season ticket holder still cannot understand why I prefer the FA Cup and trips to Mansfield over the manufactured Champions League

[Simon Posner @SiPosner]

@HACKETTREF Keith. I am not making a point. This is a genuine question. The ref who sent the West Ham player off yesterday initially had a yellow card in his hand. He seemed to change this to red once he had seen the extent of the injury. Could you explain please?

[Simon Posner @SiPosner]

@johncrossmirror Every commentator and reporter has said how much better things were without VAR. I must have heard that 20 times in the Arsenal end yesterday. What does this tell you?

[Simon Posner @SiPosner]

@FansAgainstVAR_ Did anyone notice that every commentator on every game that was broadcast this weekend started by saying “and the great thing is there is no VAR in today’s game”

[Simon Posner @SiPosner]

@Guymowbray As soon as you have to start drawing lines – don’t do it. Go with the on field decision. umpire’s call works perfectly well in cricket.

@emvbaker @CSPScheme I telephoned as it opened at 8 am this morning. Just told I was number six in the queue but immediately went to number seven and then number eight! 50 minutes later I spoke to someone who was terribly nice but could not sort out my query and has had to pass it on.

[Simon Posner @SiPosner]

What on earth do you have to do to get through to the civil service pension scheme @CSPScheme and actually speak to a human? Do not tell me to use the portal as that is the problem and has been for weeks. Two hours is the most I have had on before giving up so far.

@WinterJeff Jeff, I was a non league ref - nowhere near your standard. I am a passionate supporter of my team home and away. I do try to be objective but seem to be surrounded by normally rational people who honestly believe that we never commit a foul any stage in the game. Always amazed.
