I wonder whether they will now fully support majority decisions … I can think of one they seem to misunderstand/ignore for many years…

CAS

But then again who am I kidding. It’s ‘against’ them, so clearly still wrong

Nearly as embarrassing as the BBC giving licence payers money to to him as a professional pundit. They might as well get David icke as a political correspondent while they are at it

He's employed because he'll make stupid, rage-bait comments and people unfortunately give him the attention he wants. Why this benefits the BBC I don't know but I guess with the increased engagement he brings in the more they can justify the licence fee etc.

Not just him, it's throughout football. Less and less considered analysis and commentary and more ragebait, hot takes.

Actually, not just throughout football, it's throughout social media and traditional media too on most topics.

The fact that it's still an ongoing issue for them,and that it's even still being debated on the BBC is fucking hilarious and if you don't see that I don't know what to say to you, do you think if it was the other way round it would still be being talked about ? They never let anything go,read the comments on the article then get back to me !

Always wondered what it must have been like on the other side of that outcome in May 2012. I do remember being sat in the third tier of Colin Bell when we were 2-1 down and feeling like it was slipping away. Absolutely crazy day, and seeing their pain is glorious, they’ve never recovered from it.

Says all you need to know that they've gone with that headline:

"Panel split over disallowed Liverpool goal at Man City"

Yet in the body:

"Liverpool's controversial disallowed goal at Manchester City was correctly not overturned by a video assistant review (VAR), an expert panel has ruled."
 
Last week it was reported widely that the panel had backed the claims the Liverpool should have stood. But apparently the vote was 3-2 in favour of disallowing the goal. The BBC headline says panel split on decision. Total distortion as usual.

They’re saying that VAR correctly didn’t interfere because it wasn’t clear and obvious.

However, the panel was split 3-2 in favour of giving the goal in the first instance (before VAR intervention).
