Premier League have just announced the shocking VAR Error By referees of Chelsea vs Totheham Huspor- PGMOL under scrutiny over surprising VAR mistake made by The Referee during the Chelsea vs Totheham match after awarding to Red card to Totheham Huspor players
We can all learn a lot from the complex emotional tapestry of football. How many emotions do you experience on a daily basis? When I was trying to trap a spider with a hairspray lid and a Boots Christmas voucher last night, I originally answered with two things: terror and a tiny bit of pride that I was taking this on.
A new range was unleashed when the lid proved to be too small and the spider scurried down the entrance and onto my jeans. This time it was akin to revulsion mixed with the pins-and-needles feeling of an impending horror. What would happen if I reached haphazardly for the spider-home jeans in the morning, forgetting this?
Researchers now estimate that humans may feel anywhere from 27 to 34,000 distinct emotions, however most individuals can only recognise about three of them at any given time. These are joy, sorrow, and rage.
I witnessed all 34,000 during Tottenham vs. Chelsea 4 last week, although due to page constraints, I am unable to list them all here.
This provides additional proof that football viewing need to have a dedicated place on the national curriculum. Early emotional awareness is beneficial for children, right? Before the first break, give them a pencil and an emotion wheel while they watch Chelsea 4 Man City 4.
The extremes you can feel in a single game are unmatched since a goal in football represents such a huge shift in fortunes for both sides – in contrast, for example, to a three-pointer in basketball or even a try in rugby.
With wide eyes, I turned to my friend Lars in the pub after Heung-min Son scored Tottenham’s second (later disallowed) goal against Chelsea. I whispered in disbelief, “We’re winning this EIGHT-nil” (joy, amazement).
It was the same story last Friday at the Parc des Princes. The mid-air chip from Kylian Mbappe that set up PSG’s fourth goal against Montpellier but was disallowed was my favourite play of the entire match. It’s lost and has no meaning.
In the suggested Emotions VAR would definitely prompt the teacher to discuss patience, the value of controlling our emotions, and deference to authority when we were watching football in class. Noble subjects. However, not at the price of the more enjoyable ones.
For many of us, football serves as our primary source of enjoyment. The highs cannot last without a break; without the ball being out of play and the occasional lull, we would faint after the first five minutes. However, the trade-off of mysterious geometry lessons after every crucial moment is too great in the pursuit of accuracy.
Football exists to amaze you. To let you know that Cole Palmer is once again on the ball and that you have been holding your breath in amazement for the past ninety seconds.
It concerns the spirit of the law, not its text. Making you feel things is the goal. 33,999 items. Not boredom, though.
