Fitting reward for BDB for all his effort this season - and what a night to do it!

Thought he was a mile offside.
Didn't celebrate, just waited for the inevitable VAR review, which never came.

Just loved his Charlie George celebration - no one deserved it more than him for the season he has had and the often unfair criticism he has faced.
I thought the same. Refused to celebrate, and even spoiled it for those around me “calm down. He’s miles off”
Perversely though - there’s perhaps a chance the lino might have flagged it, without the VAR safety net?

yeah good point.
In all seriousness I don't want to get rid of VAR, for precisely the reason you state.
Absolutely massive chance that the Lino would bottle it without VAR.
Big six bias is an absolute fact (Bobby Sanchez yellow card anyone?
)

My favourite player.
Totally under rated because he often looks like a giraffe on ice, but extremely skilful and a brilliant crosser of the ball.
And always give 100%.

That yellow was disgusting but who cares Attwell has a history with us and was of no surprise really.yeah good point.

Don't agree.
Well, ok I do, he may well have done.
But if he gets that sort of call wrong hew shouldn't be officiating at the top level. If you're in line it's pretty clear.
It's not a reason to keep the abomination of VAR.
The fact that I and others didn't celebrate one of the best moments at the Amex and was unaware of the outcome until they started playing again is a way bigger loss to the game than a few marginal calls being made wrong.
Football is about those sort of glorious moments we saw last night.
Just rewatching at work.
Loving BDB throwing his arms out after the second scuff into the pitch then net!
Classic.

Exactly. When people whine about VAR, they often forget the COUNTLESS times we used to put up with this shit. It used to happen ALL the time.

Especiallygiven how much stick he has taken
Hang on. Your not suggesting using technology to reduce the risk of wrong decisions in critical moments might be a good thing, are you?
There were a few around me who were quite happy with the way the game was going but, once VAR went to check something that might go against our favour, started singing **** VAR. Pathetic.
Like everyone else, I'm really really pleased for him.
He has such a tremendous work ethic, always puts an incredible shift in and so often plays with a smile on his face.
I find it particularly amusing that after the numerous "he's got good feet for a big man" cliches, he scored the all-important goal when he was actually slightly clumsy with the ball, although it was a great effort to get the first shot away as he did.
Love that guy.

The moment Burn scored I thought he might be offside but watching the replay he was clearly onside ( just )
VAR is now just the proxy for the way the ref was treated in the pre-VAR days. When he gives your side something it's "great ref, brilliant decision". Five minutes later when they give something against you it's "You don't know what you're doing!".
Personally I think the only real problem with VAR is how long it takes. Should be a rule that if it takes more than 30 seconds it's not obvious so move on. That's probably about the length of time we've seen for (e.g.) a goal ruled out by a late flag in non-VAR games.
Ha ha! One of the funniest posts I have read for ages. You'd rather have the BDB goal wrongly chalked off immediately (thus quashing your celebrations) than suffer the indignity of waiting for the VAR decision? Jesus!
Drink driving laws, breathylisers, speed limits save lives, discuss:
"Don't agree.
Well OK they may do.
But if you can't handle a drink and drive a car you shouldn't be on the road. Providing driving conditions are not inclement it's pretty clear.
It's not a reason to keep the abomination of (etc etc)
Driving is about the sort of glorious moments you get when flooring it on an open road after a few shandies"
