I listen to a lot of football podcasts and the Italians and Spanish are moaning about shit var just as much if not more. Its not an English thing.
No it’s not and all nations discuss and whine about decisions before and after VAR, but many of those countries actual football coverage (various media’s) can be more than that, whereas much U.K. punditry and tv coverage is almost entirely devoted to it. BT/MOTD especially, and Sky, the exception being Monday Night Football, that actually gives us more than the usual dumbed down proper football geezer bollocks.
I’ve pretty much stopped listening to pods like the Guardian’s because all we got was divs like Barry Glendenning wasting 25 minutes of every pod whining about correct VAR offside decisions.
The only major media pod I listen to regularly any more is Gab Marcotti’s ESPN one.
