Last night proved just how much VAR is taking all the joy out of celebrating a goal now with both the first two decisions being over-turned long after Richarlison and his team-mates had finished celebrating scoring. So much so that I think the celebrations for his third goal were a bit muted as most in the ground nervously eyed the screens for trouble.
By way of a protest (and a bit of a pisstake), I think the team should all do one of those big choreographed goal celebrations next time we score. Instead of running to the crowd and jumping over each other to show their joy, they should all try to suppress their emotions, run as a team up to the VAR video screen at the side of the pitch and then stand around it, arms folded awaiting confirmation that the goal is OK.
