The People's Forum: There are some genuinely hilarious reenactments of the Celtic peno on Twitter

Da's in their front room/gardens, using all their science nous to get a ball bounced off them and showing how the trajectory could only have been caused by a hand/head. Some of these are ironic, some are not. Some of the comments are ironic, some are not. Five minutes into reading the unironic ones and you lose the will to live.

Does anyone else remember what it was like before VAR? i fucking do

VAR technology should be the best thing that's happened to the game. Just need competent people using it

I'm probably no different to most, I'd keep some minimally-invasive version of VAR that doesn't suck the life out of the immediacy of the game, if it's possible. If it's not, bin it.

But either way, the broadcasters will keep analysing every on-field decision within an inch of its life, farming anger for clicks. And fans will lap it all up while they lose their tiny minds on social media. The only difference will be whether a man in a box with a desktop and a headset is included in the paranoid ranting.

Honestly, fans these days are far fucking worse than anything officials are doing on the pitch or their monitors. There is less and less decent discourse about football now outside of endless, pointless, and mostly ill-informed jibberish about match decisions.
