Agree @J4MES OX4D, the referees standard has took a massive downturn partly because some will start to rely on it and then others are made to look stupid when they don't give clear cut decisions. Even linesman now can't flag a clear offside to allow VAR to call it. Thats when you know its not working when their job is virtually redundant. I suppose we will have to go through the pain of using it for a whole season but unless they reign some of the use of it in, I think all we're going to be talking about this season is VAR rather than the Football itself. Shame football is now about money and this is why Owners and Shareholders alike want it so their team doesn't lose out to millions on small decision.

I think now we've had one given on 'our' side rather than the one against the Netherlands I think this is even more justification to why VAR isn't needed. Like the Holland game, its not that its factually offside based on the rules - its how the concept unravels from that moment - and in both instances the referees and players went with the initial goal decision. I do not want to see the great game of football turn into that one across the seas that tries to call it the same name. With the subjectiveness happening in such a fast-flowing, dynamic sport such as Football I cannot see what they need it for. No other sport has this much hindrance from technology right now. Even the current Cricket World Cup and upcoming Wimbledon has a small amount of 'referrals' on the on-pitch decisions.

Cameroon Women have just had a perfectly good goal ruled out for offside against England. Probably the worst decision ever made on a football pitch. The footage was shown on the big screen and I think everyone in the ground including Phil Neville knows that was a goal. How the hell that's been given offside I don't know. The scorer was in tears and everyone else was in shock. This is nitpicky at its finest Also Cameroon should have been reduced to 10 men...I mean women after a few minutes after blatant elbow to the face. How was a yellow given for that? Should've been two other blatant reds after VAR referrals. This game should be used as the number one example of how fucking flawed VAR is and how fucking useless the officials are at following the rules from incidents that they have been able to watch. What a ridiculous game of football that was.

Arma 3 and it's mods has no equal. Can't wait to play this. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Sweet, I like the look of that one. It’s the one with the tower blocks at the start isn’t it??

Watching women cleaning horse cock lol oh and the whole " can you help me in the barn please with these bales" while wearing skin tight jodhpurs 😉

I liked the idea of VAR but the way it has been implemented and used is utterly appalling and it really hasn't improved. The concept itself is flawed, it is slow, nit-picky and adds a level of anxiety for very small things. I saw one game recently where a penalty was awarded but then the ref brought it back for a penalty to the other team from 2 minutes before. It's just ridiculous and now even more farcical as in the womens world cup, goalkeepers literally have to now stand behind the line in fear they encroach merely a centimeter and give the ref an excuse to have it retaken. The biggest flaw in VAR so far is how it's made referees forget the basic rules. They see a handball in slow motion and give a penalty on the basis it's hit the hand rather than deliberate handball or ball to hand. Incorrect decisions of this nature have been rife with mistakes made (IMO) in the World Cup Final, Champions League 2nd round, Quater Finals, Semi Finals and Final where penalties for handball (ball hit hand) were given without any consideration of the rules and a decision based off of whether any part of the ball hit the hand in 25% speed. Refs should not be allowed to watch slow-mo close ups to form a decision and it's like they suddenly under pressure forget the rules to formulate their verdict. The amount of referrals is daft and any made should see the ref watch the incident in real time speed from an angle that represented his position (or near enough) on the field at that time. The definition of handball should also appear on the screen to remind them of the rules. Slow mo should only apply in cases of dubious tackles to determine whether the player or ball was taken first, NOT handballs. The next flaw is the ref itself. I don't believe the on pitch ref should be be consulted and have the final say on any incidents. A panel of 3 watching the footage should have the final decision and must be unanimously agreed without the game stopping. This decision would then be relayed to the pitch and the match ref would then take the necessary action based off the decision. With refs getting decisions wrong even after watching video evidence, a larger jury is needed. This will cost the governing body of each match more but it's fairer. Lastly, the amount of times VAR is used should be reduced to just goal-related aspects. Too many incidents are getting referred and it's getting awfully anal. Potential red cards, yellow cards, offsides, handballs and all the other bullshit. It's just too much and spoils the experience now, made even worse by how they handle it and the level of trust in decisions made even with it right in front of them.

Great stuff 👏

Ye sounds about right to be fair. I opened all the chests earlier on the barge as I completed the last bounty and got one blue out of them all. My chalice is set up now to get the Epicurean with reload masterwork. Hopefully I’ll get more in time ready for reset. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So to carry on the recent fun and awesome Feel Good rewards we did have a few more for some lovely people.... @techno Gary hasn't ever had something from us and he is truly a gent being around for everyone, therefore we couldn't let him miss out on an FG gaming night so he now owns Call of Duty Black Ops 4 for our fun nights getting killed by noobs 😄 Also, as @Capn_Underpants has busted a nut for her mum and family and its been ace to see her push on with her own personal life and own it, good ol' @phil bottle managed to find some game codes for her PC and she'll also no longer have to pay for Cyberpunk 2077 when it comes out as its already on pre-order direct to her address! Finally, @Misneach_ has been wanting a reason to get back on with the FG crowd after a busy year with his newborn and a job promotion, so he now has the Destiny 2 Annual Pass to join in on the Menagerie fun with all of us once again 😎 Please don't forget, because I write these comments mostly (if not always), this is from all of FG and we also can't do these things without your awesome donations that you give. We're always wanting to do more when we've had enough donations and ideas so please keep them coming whenever you have the chance. Cheers for looking after your FG family. GGFG

Chris little tip on the forges, if you’ve unlocked the first one you will also have unlocked the last one (also in the EDZ) . The good thing about the last one is you can forge any BA weapon in it, so you don’t actually have to unlock the Nessus forges at all (except for Triumphs). That’s good as the quests to unlock them are pretty grindy.

Can't deny that I laughed for quite a while at that too! 😂
