the first argument should have been agreed. The question says characters. There were so many characters in the early 2000s than now

Embarrassing saying there are more characters now than in the 2000s 😂😂😂😂😂

10:05 there was two west ham players pulling rayas arms down in a desperate attempt to snatch a point. thinking that was a decision favoured for arsenal is ridiculous

These people who disagreed with the 1st question do not even understand the question.

There were far more characters in the 2000s, far bigger as well.

Nigel Martin would walk into most of todays Premier league clubs as the No1 goalkeeper. So giving a yellow card was out of order and I bet the referee most probably hasn't seen much of him playing.

the question wasn’t var is good or it’s the problem, the question inherently says that the way it has been implemented, the current iteration of it, has made the game experience better. if you can say yes to that, you’re wrong

VAR is good for the game. These people are arguing decisions that went against them. What if your player tackled another player and gets wrongfully sent off? After the VAR decision correcting it, you’d be cheering and thankful for VAR. how is that bad experience then?
