A still is not worth looking at in decision making ! You need to watch at normal speed
I got 5 questions right
We were all complaining before VAR about these decisions saying refs need help from technology. We will always complain when it goes against our team. Its human nature
They don't let us listen to var because it's all corrupt to help to control the game behind the scenes… Football is rigged these days
The south Africa answer was not correct 🤣
The answer to question 8 should be Uruguay. They had never competed before they hosted it in 1930.

Hello. The answer to the World Cup question is wrong. I'm from South Africa, and we played in 1998 World Cup. That was their 1st time in a World Cup
lads the quiz is wrong, South Africa competes in the 1998 and 2002 world cup 🤣🤣🤣🤣..im South African, i watched our boys. We had a song about Benny mcarthy going to france 98
The South Africa answer is wrong. They were at the 1998 World Cup.
What the hell?? Pukki plays for iceland, not finland 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've never understood the argument for getting rid of VAR, it isn't the technology's fault, it's the people in charge, this doesn't happen in any other European league, this doesn't happen in the UCL, UEL, or the UECL, it doesn't happen in internationals, only the prem.
Any chance you could cut the quiz on its own? 50 minutes of VAR every week is a bit boring at this point
VAR is ruining football. But this decision was correct for the Newcastle goal by VAR.
Cant tell if the ball went out, offside couldnt be proven to be wrong. The foul is the most contentious one, some would give it, some wouldn't, therefore its not clear and obviously wrong.
Funny mark is talking about stills, when this is exactly what we shouldnt be doing (and stuff he has been against, a walking contradiction) AND you saying they are looking for stuff, they looked for it, and couldnt find anything and went to the refs decision. Fucking hell Mark.
Bruno and Havertz should have been off. Horrendous.
Soo good!!
So much hate from these 3 on sheff utd ever week. Bad VAR decisions against a top 6 side then it's ban VAR and it should be scrapped and left to onfield ref. Sheff utd get a penalty from the onfield ref and its why haven't VAR intervened and overturned the decision. Established premier league club bias.
When a goal kick is taken up to the forward, if the forward chooses not to jump and challenge for the ball and the defender does, the defender is cautioned for 'climbing' on the attacker. On that basis, the Newcastle goal shouldn't have stood. But its consistency again.
Cama Finland! 🇫🇮
Great show, thanks guys 🙂
As a Finn I love how Finnish the ending was 😅 Also I completely misunderstood the question about the highest German scorer, I was instantly like 'Well it's got to be Per Mertesacker' 😂
Why does the VAR work in the Champions League, Prem could overtake that?
did Goldbridge basically just say you cant say its definitely not a foul and then proceed to say it definitely is a foul
Joelinton fouled him. If there is a throw in and im holding a players back with two arms its a foul
What a show, love it 🔥
VAR should not exist, it should be automatic cameras for offsides and the ball being in or out of play anywhere on the pitch
Sorry but Goldbridge shouldn't be on here. Only interested in Man Utd. Doesn't listen to what others say at all. He's miserable and negative. We'd have much better episodes with Rhino Legs Tom and Watto every week, and the occasional guest
Hi Ben, I don't know why you are raging over VAR in the Newcastle game. Say if VAR was not there, the on-field referee gave the goal and the goal stood after the VAR review. So the decision of the on-field referee would still have been a goal if there was no VAR.
Hour long episode is everything I’ve ever wanted
Doku is better than any player at man United idk why mark is laughing
Ball 100% wasnt out, hasnt this been proved already? its just a bad angle
Fantastic episode!
South Africa played in the 1998 and 2002 World Cups
Wolves fan, thanks guys.
Only sport you should have both your hands on someones back like that, is AFL. Always a foul, that's why Napoli got disallowed today.
In the A League down in Australia, you can hear the conversations between referees during VAR and it is so transparent. It makes the league so much better.
10:35 Newcastle fan and I totally agree with Mark here, sitting and waiting for 3 checks across 5 minutes was miserable, and then knowing that our victory was going to be widely discredited and criticized over something we had no control over also sucks the joy out of it
No coach should suspend any player in front of the media when in today's football players can't have the power to use the microphone and reply coach's comments against them, bc if they do they receive a sanction. It was his birthday, what happens if a player decides to celebrate of his mother, father, brother, children birthday? Does Ten Hag have the right to be angry about that? ofc no, Isn't it discipline, it's a toxic attitude form ETH. He never makes critics about himself and his poor coaching this season, he always blames the players
We are looking for a perfect decision, offside, ball out should be absolute, but other decisions are subjective and we all need to accept this… ps.. I will also moan about decisions.. I love it…
Love you Ben, but I think you're talking sh*t on that Gabriel/Joelinton incident ^^ I think it is pretty obvious both hands are in his back and it's defo a push. As a keeper, you know if doesn't take much to lose your balance when you've got your eyes on the ball! Joelinton knew what he was doing, it's a foul all day long! That being said, up the Fozcast!
If they got rid of VAR then the clubs and players have to accept whatever the ref decides without whinging or protest.
If they are going to get a call wrong. I'd rather them just quickly get it wrong and move on.
As an Arsenal fan. I can admit the probability that the ball was IN. However it was a foul and it was offsides. The fact that we delayed the game for like 10 mins, saw it a dozen times over and over. Then they still get it wrong. That's whats infuriating about it.
Be done with VAR. Let goals be properly celebrated even if they weren't actually legal goals.
Dave Watson knows nothing about Forest – the other two aren’t much better
watched Newcastle all my life through the hard times, now we are competitive i haven't been able to celebrate a goal all season due to VAR. You see the goal go in and the first thought is whether it will stand or not.
The best opening 🙌🏻
I'm glad Arteta spoke out, more managers need to stand up about how bad the officiating and VAR is in the modern game, it's turning in to VAR deciding games rather than it being decided on the pitch
I’m english and ive lived in Belgium for 2years, Doku has never been under the radar, hes quailty and has been for sometime. He just needed a big move to show the world what hes like.
South Africa competed in 2002?
One of the questions had a wrong answer. South Africa was in the world cup in 98 and 2002 😂
The South Africa question is wrong. South Africa competed in France in 1998
Although my club have mostly been on the good side of VAR decisions, there has been way too much bad VARing. You are right, It's ruining the game. It's time for THEM to address the problem rather than Ignore the obvious.
