City has been winning fair and square, forget those dumb 115 charges memes. They've been ahead as the outright best. Inconsistencies in their off the pitch activities does nothing to dampen or change that.
@giooo_6 I don't see this as a controversial take at all. A controversial take would be asking for the removal of VAR due to the inconsistencies and go back to the days of Ovrebo.
@giooo_6 Ok now this is a take I'd call controversial. Wonder what @Graham has to say about this.
Penalties should be taken by the winner of the penalty and dedicated penalty takers should be scrapped. Would make the game more interesting.
Get rid of extra time, go straight to pens...
@lewisw 😀 Those penalties were something else man. Although i feel those style of penalties where against the spirit of the game in a way. Penalties are meant to penalize, giving the offended party a cheap opporrtunity at making the other pay for messing up, basically a cheap opportunity at goal, but those mls penalties made it so kafkaesque man. They sure where fun though and i wouldn't mind seeing them in pre season and friendlies.
@lewisw They already do this in some competitions. Think it was done in the just concluded copa america and i think the league cup as well. Didn't really like it, preferred the tension of extra time. We wouldn't have gotten games like the atletico v madrid final.
@facebook-prashantsharma everybody knows that Serie A teams defends far better than pl, la liga or whatever leagues..... it's not a hot take
@lewisw You are right, the exciting ones are most times the exception and not the norm. Funny thing is most times during the extra time, i still want the scores to remain level so i get to see penalties.
@ishtar Hi sorry I have not responded sooner but the SSD (hard drive) failed in my computer on Friday and it has taken me two days to get back up and running. Most of the controversy in the football world surrounds the controversy around VAR decisions IMO. I don't think that VAR is a bad thing but the officials that use it need to be more consistent in their decisions.
This is not easy to achieve of course. No matter how much training a VAR official receives there is always going to be the subjective element in the decisions. What would be good is for the VAR officials to be more accountable and explain themselves to the public when they get it wrong. I guess this is probably asking too much. As long as the officials can share the wrong decision information between them that would be a good start!
@graham Hard drive issues are never fun, glad u got it fixed, experienced a boot loop that ended in a BSOD abt a month back, took me 2weeks to fix. Totally agree with your take on VAR, i share same opinion. Was referring to his comment where he said Rooney was a more important or bigger signing than Ronaldo for United.
