This is the dangerous ground we are going if a referee says he is "Letting the game flow" as it's a cheats charter. As Bernardo said he let lots of similar tussles and challenges go, but when we score it's disallowed for a foul. They can't have it both ways.

The sooner football is stripped back to basics,the better.The game is losing support and passion because of the unnecessary bullshit that now governs it.
But waa it a clear and obvious mistake.....I think it was a foul, yes.
Or just one of the many fouls he had allowed all game ?

That's it, it was a tussle and he's told both managers he's allowing such. Bernardo's tussle with Salah later was more violent but nothing given. We are no better off with var if it's still open to interpretation. Stick to what it was originally brought in for. Clear offsides, handballs, penalty claims and sly elbows the ref has missed. Not taking five minutes to disallow a goal as someone's nose or big toe is offside.
To be fair, I think AHT just likes to be contrary.So you agree with the Var decision Alan ?
You believe that Taylor looked at the screen and said ah yes I missed that it was a clear and obvious mistake by me it was foul and it was far worse than the 442 fouls I had previously allowed so I will cancel out the goal.

It staggers me how the narrative is that Taylor had a good game at weekend? Letting fouls go unpunished is not good refereeing, it culminates in exactly what happened on Sunday. That "foul" from Haaland happened throughout the game yet VAR didn't operate the same high bar that Taylor did. If that's the case you simply cannot referee a game in that manner.

It is because it gets looked at by VAR when a goal is scored. If that same offence is committed by the defender VAR won't even bother checking it. It disadvantages the attacking team.This is the dangerous ground we are going if a referee says he is "Letting the game flow" as it's a cheats charter.

That is why using var is wrong. They have changed so many rules to try and make football attractive rather than boring, stopping a keeper picking up a back pass was the first, the defenders being allowed in the area at goal kicks is one of the latest, but now we are penalising attackers and therefore stopping the one thing fans love, goals. What a farce.It is because it gets looked at by VAR when a goal is scored. If that same offence is committed by the defender VAR won't even bother checking it. It disadvantages the attacking team.

”The point of his shoulder was offside”
”When he pointed to where he wanted the pass, that made his arm offside”
”His hard on was offside”

Why should a foul before a goal be judged anymore harshly than the 442 other similar fouls that Taylor let go ?
Var was for clear and obvious mistakes, not to forensically analyse the 15 minutes before a goal is scored. Var looked several times at the Alison/Haaland contact and because they couldn't find a reason to disallow it, went further back in play. Haaland and the scouse twat were competing for the ball knowing that was the kind of challenge Taylor was allowing. To then punish him is wrong and it means Taylor had referred the entire game incorrectly.
If that was Salah and Diaz do you think they would have said it was a foul ? No chance.
The ref could have decided I’ve let enough go throughout the game, I’ll let Haaland off - it’s his call , not VAR. He saw it on monitor, it was a foul, it was the correct decision
Also, are you honestly in agreement Salah made a handball in the turn for the goal ?

there's more goals this season on average per game than at any time in Prem history
