Glad to see your willingness to learn! OK, let me put this a different way. Either:
a) As you initially claimed, you genuinely think the over-analysis we see in the media is the fault of VAR, in which case it's 100% fair to point out that's an incorrect remembering of how football was pre-VAR.
b) You don't think the above at all, in which case you've chosen to disrupt a thread on a specific decision that was going along perfectly well in order to have the same boring moan about the "state of modern football" that you've already had 16 thousand times on here. Yes they're "wed" in the sense that they're both about football, but that doesn't justify derailing yet another thread with the same boring non-constructive complaining. My thoughts on Newcastle's kit design is similarly "wed" to this discussion that was going on previously - that wouldn't make it any less of a tangent to suddenly interrupt with.
I accept that I may have been patronising initially, but that's because I chose to take the good-faith assumption that you'd simply misunderstood what the thread was about. The less good faith assumption is that you're being deliberately disruptive and trying to deliberately move off on a tangent - I tried to steer away from that, but your responses haven't left me with much choice.
