You are Mike Parry and I claim my £5.

Haha!
I'm about the same age as Parry but he's better looking. ;-)

If that really is true you need to hide all the mirrors in your house for your own good

The issue for me with VAR and offsides, is where/when they freeze the playback to get the ruling; that’s the part that’s still open to human “error” (or influence) it seems to me. Is it the point the player (making the pass)’s foot first makes contact with the ball or the point when the ball leaves the foot? - they aren’t the same thing, and whoever chooses that freeze-frame point does have massive influence. At the moment, the person who does that for sky etc basically makes up minds for everyone watching, but it doesn’t affect the outcome; next year it will.

It is a joke but better than the current situation. With VAR Fabinho is booked for diving and Liverpool don't score at Newcastle. The linesman was three yards away. That was not a straight decision. The look on the Newcastle player's face tells you everything. I am sure it will initially be chaos next year but will settle down moving forward.

VAR is not going to be used for free kicks so it would still happen. I'm not that bothered because free kicks or corners incorrectly given or not given are part of every game. It is up to the defending team to defend them properly. VAR will reduce the number of incorrectly given or disallowed goals without any doubt. I think most of the outcomes to date have been correct.

I have zero sympathy for the diving cünt Salah after he got brushed by the goal keeper and went down like he had been hit by a train. It’s embarrassing. These cünts need to take a long hard look at their actions. It’s disgusting and cheating and pathetic.

Couldn't absorb it all as I would need to re-read it but it doesn't suprise me if true

Man, that is some website.

So next season a player could face retrospective action for diving but a goal that was created by cheating and possibly has huge title/relegation implications for a club would still stand. I don't understand how you could be happy with that.

Been saying this for years. This will be the variable that no one will talk about. I remember Silva scoring a dubious goal v Arsenal. One frame he is on side, the next a yard off, the first the player is playing the ball, the second it is leaving his foot. So this is the magic ingredient that will mean it is not always a factual judgement. City fans favouring VAR is like Turkeys voting for Christmas...

Henderson and Milner will have carte blanche to do whatever.will be like Texas chainsaw massacre. You can bet them 2 will start

i have a feeling that game will turn ugly and their season will have exploded, all pending on the result later.
