Both us and Arsenal would have to drop points in 2 games each and Liverpool win their 4. No chance

Surely they must have. Surely

Was watching that and couldn’t believe they were going to potentially disallow if that was offside. That was about 10-15 seconds before the goal and Liverpool had 4 or 5 chances to clear it after that so how can a very marginal offside be used to disallow the goal? The game’s gone mad

I’d heard that somewhere as well

Want to back that up with some cold hard cash? It won’t be a trophy parade but I’m pretty confident they’ll have a “Farewell Bingo” parade of some sort

I don’t think so. Obviously it was an absolute howler but I don’t think anyone said “they did it on purpose because the VAR is a City fan”. There’s a difference between saying that a mistake was made and saying that the officials are corrupt

It’s an absolutely cracking read. Pretty much everyone getting it, including Salah, Van Dijk, and (shock horror) the fans. Thanks for the link!

But Forest DID question the integrity of the officials (or one of them at least!

Nothing understated about BRIAC, he’s a pompous prick he’s so up himself he could be a fucking ventriloquist

They like to keep it tight

Good to hear. Wouldn’t want to see anyone denigrate the stellar achievements of those lovable cheeky scouse rogues. #thismeanstour

I hope you’re not referring to scurrilous rumours about those plucky scousers and their alleged inhaler problem. Allegedly.

Pedant alert … A vastly superior goal difference is only “worth” half a point. As you were

I thought they weren’t going to release the audio?

One of the problems with the handball rule is that the consequences of a handball decision, i.e. a penalty, are too great in most instances. If the rules were that any defensive handball in the box is a direct free-kick unless deliberate, in which case a penalty then I don’t think we’d have...

Clarkie?

That is my point! Just rule out the howlers. VAR reviews done in 30 seconds and no dodgy millimetre offsides, non-sensical handballs etc

Not my job to define a howler but surely someone can come up with something that is better than the absolute shitshow that we have. All anyone really wants is to eliminate the howlers. I made a suggestion earlier about a 30 second time limit on the review. That should be enough to eliminate the...

A time limit maybe? 30 seconds should be more than enough.

We were sold VAR as a tool to get rid of howlers - Maradona handball, Henry handball against Ireland, Milner 3 yards offside for a Liverpool goal, the non-penalty on Aguero in the 2-3 derby where we could have won the league etc etc I don’t think anyone would have a problem with that. And they...
