Bullshit, shirley?

He’s from Ashton-under-Lyne

From and supports Wigan apparently. But yes he was VAR.

Nor I.

Would you put it past them to manipulate us out of the top 4?

It looks like that’s what they are currently doing

I hear what you're saying but I also feel it would have been very harsh to give a penalty. If Trent's is handball then it (the pen) is a chance created by the Silva handball - which means that it City's pen shouldn't be given. For me the ref has two options he either gives nothing (as he did) or he gives a freekick for the Silva handball.

If it's a penalty then it's created by Alexander-Arnold, not Bernardo. Bernardo's handball doesn't create a goalscoring opportunity, it's that simple.

Bernardo couldn't have done a thing to get his arm out of the way, Alexander Arnold could've, simple as that. Doesn't matter now anyway, the result stands.

well it clearly did, because Liverpool scored from it.

Ex ref Bobby Madley

"Point of law... as Silva handled (albeit accidental) before TAA did this would have been penalised even if a penalty had been awarded. Attacking handball doesn't have to be deliberate. So, a penalty would never have been possible due to it touching Silva's hand in build up"

You can add that when he was on VAR the other week for our game ignored a stonewall penalty

Sky sports have now said that VAR called the pen but Michael Oliver overruled it.
As he was on the onfield ref he gets the decision.

who knows what the fuck happened, and isnt that just what pgmol/PL want so they can install whoever they want as champions to sell the PL brand around the globe.
