I agree, if it can be contained and used within reason I have no issues with it for certain situations but it's like a game that was being played in Italy last week I believe, there was a questionable decision just outside of the goal but the ref let it go on which made the other team counter attack and score a goal a few minutes later, after their goal was scored and celebrated ref gets the VAR Call and gives the other team (that just conceded a goal) a penalty from the previous situation, this cancelling out the newly scored goal.

Sorry if it is confusing but man that pissed me off so much that I can't even type it out with a straight face, lol.

Don't forget your picks for tonight's games.


VAR on the whole is good, but it needs tweaking as it's not working efficiently. It's really annoying now seeing players wait in limbo before they celebrate to see if it's a goal or not. I think the offside rule needs changing as well. It was implemented to stop strikers goal-hanging and players just oofing the ball up to them, but should we be disallowing goals because a player was a milometer off side? Who gives a shit. And then we have to wait for the ref to watch the replay 5 times to see whether it should be allowed or not. Great goals are sometimes disallowed because of this and it's silly. Let them play football rather than worrying about having to deal with an offside trap and being an inch offside. VAR should be used similarly as it is in Tennis. Give them three appeals and that's it. The ref should probably just take the opinion of the VAR officials as well rather than having to trot on over to the sideline. There's already too much stoppages in football. This is an interesting video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB70iAqk-9I&t=28s

In some games you only get about 40 minutes of actual football and the rest is waiting for players to take throw ins and goal kicks. The clock should be stopped when it's not in play and then there'd be no injury time or time wasting which is pretty much common practice for teams that are in front now.

I'm not feeling too good about my Juve bet but we'll see.. Incredible how shite Real has turned out, remember when Ronaldo left and they were all like "Nobody is bigger than the club"? Lol.

Ramos lools like an asshole now doesn’t he - Picks up a ‘tactical’ booking in the 1st leg so he doesn’t miss the 1st leg of what he thought was a probable 1/4 final.

What an idiot.

I think Real will get even worse next season - Bals, Ramos, Modric, Benzema all 30+

Edit - I wouldn’t rule Juve out Hhampuz. Only got to win 2-0 in 90 mins to take it to ET

Well, I don't feel too bad about since I entered the contest when my first 4 choices were already taken. Real was just a way to be part of our side bet. I never really hoped i could win this, or said in a different way that Real can lift the trophy 4 times in a row. Granted my second a third choice (Juve & LFC) could also be out in this stage. Just shows how hard it is too predict CL.

Too continue in the same tone I am glad you all got duckies. I was a bit concerned for my top spot in the pool

I met a guy yesterday who put almost 2000 EUR on Ajax to win with odds of 5.9. We were playing football and missing one guy and he stepped in. And showed us a ticket at begging of the match. I don't know if that is serious money for him or peanuts but anyway you have to have balls to play a bet like that.

LOL I completely forgot about this topic. Good to see PSG is still here however today we will decide PSG's fate. I hope they will get an easy win against Man Utd and there will be no disaster like yesterday that happened with Real.

Half an hour left until matches. Looking forward to PSG - MAN Utd one. I believe we will see some good football and nice goals in this one.

I wanted to play nice CL double today but I really don't know what to play in Porto-Roma game. .

I actually ended playing Porto to win and PSG over 2.5 goals but for low stake. After yesterday's results and terrible weekend I have no confidence in my predictions. Will have to wait a few days to recover a bit.

I had Porto & ManU 1st half, what a stupid penalty to give away, hah.. United was the risky bet in that double btw, lol. Let's see what happens in the 2nd though, I too believe Porto will make it and unless united somehow fix their backline and play some of the best defense they've ever done this could get tricky.
