  1. Practically begging for that with the sloppy passing from the back.

    Gym Routine

    Yeah, I’ll qualify it a little bit and say it’s probably a bit of water weight too as I’ve not been taking my creatine while I’ve been away from the gym. I’m back in light training now, though, and back on the shakes, so I’ll hopefully start regaining a bit of mass soon.

    Yep. Losing those 4kg is a bad thing, though. I was at my ideal weight and all I’ve lost is muscle mass.

    Sneakers

    New football season is fast approaching here in Norway, and I’ve got my brand new pair Originals ready. I went for a pair of black Handball Spezial, a timeless classic.
  5. Not even close to the way we’re talking about it today. Every f***ing half-contentious decision is analyzed to death.
  6. I don’t feel it’s that big of an exaggeration, to be honest. Celebrating the moment of a goal scored is the pinnacle of the football experience, it’s what the game at its core is all about. VAR takes that away from me. Before, we might discuss a refereeing decision at length if it was particularly scandalous. Now, refereeing decisions seem to be all we ever talked about. VAR has reduced the way we talk about and discuss the game to endlessly looking at lines on a screen and still-frame photos of arms in various angles. I hate it. I hate what it’s doing to my game.
  7. Refereeing mistakes will always happen as the rules are (intentionally) open to interpratation. Even then, I’d still rather have mistakes and keep the game I love, than no mistakes and a version of the game I don’t recognise.
  8. Thus far, the voting members of 6 out of 32 clubs in the top two divisions in Norway have voted to scrap VAR. 3 have voted to keep it, leaving 23 yet to vote on it at their AGMs coming up over the next couple of weeks. We might not get it done this year, and the FA is lobbying pretty hard to influence the vote in favour of VAR and they seem to control the smaller clubs with small fan scenes, but sooner or later we will get rid of it.
