But when a 12 year old is (rightly) saying VAR has ****ed up again, I do worry about the game. I accept I'm not the target audience but presumably he is.

No i'm the same, i've not given up yet.
But you just get a sense- the cheating, the way it's becoming non-contact, VAR...it won't happen right now, but how long can a lot of us take it for?
Yes, yes it will. I got side tracked by other hobbies, after slipping into a coma at an home game when Magoo was in charge, then house, family etc . . . I never 'left' but gave up my season ticket in 2005 . . . . I'd never buy one now, and my son is a bit 'Meh'

Look on the bright side - at least we will have all been vaccinated against coronavirus and not missed a single Premier League home win when we return! Every cloud.......

And that is our hope really, that the kids turn on VAR (and this culture of cheating) too. The worry is, do they turn on VAR or do they start diving in the playground?

What was corrupt? We didn’t deserve anything tonight as the tactics were wrong and the players turgid. It happens, we move on after a couple of decent results and a good run of games coming up. Nothing more, nothing less.

But Burn would give us better balance and White or Veltman have a better weaker foot

The contact which brought him down was on the line. But that’s besides the point; why would the refs, the Prem or the FA favour Southampton over Brighton? Were they corrupt against Liverpool or Villa? Engage brain
Having watched U12/13/14 in recent years, cheating is rife. Kids watch TV.

I feel your pain and we all know there is no chance of getting rid of VAR meaning most matches will be re-reffed by incompetent muppets at Stockley park for the foreseeable. Players exploiting the system too It's all just a bit meh

Thing is March didn’t need to foul him but did. We had a player tracking back to cover.
VAR then does its thing. It’s helped us last two games so we can’t complain too much. However it did look like first contact was outside the box and second contact was just a coming together. Four minutes from the incident to Ings taking the penalty. Three subs and lots of time wasting and we get four minutes injury time. How ridiculous is that compared to lines that give an offside or not by an inch or a stray arm.
The goal before half time was the turning point. Up TIL then we looked comfortable although our goal was a bit of a gift. We need to defend set pieces better. We also need to find a way to win home games and quick as if we don’t, starting against Sheffield United, we are in real trouble.

We can't have a worse finish as well?
Unless we get a cup run
And a blue kit
