Brilliant stuff

I thought the style looked familiar! Their stuff is fantastic - great job all round from them and the club with that.

If your job is to spot marginal errors, then you’re going to find them. It’s not much more complicated than that. VAR was supposed to take the pressure off refs who were taking heat for not making the right decision in the heat of the moment 100% of the time. Seems like we forgot that things...

Blame today’s VAR operator all you like, it won’t make the situation better in the future. VAR itself is the problem - that’s where my anger is focused.

Dasilva was brilliant when he came on

No human being in the moment would call it offside A guy watching on a monitor whose job it is to slow down every play and analyse it in case someone moans about refereeing consistency may well come to a different conclusion - that’s what it comes down to. It’s not about individual bias, it’s...

If it was my livelihood then I’d be pretty fucking stupid to blatantly fix games in some team’s favour because it might make my friends/family happy for a weekend It’s the kind of irrelevant thing that fans love to fume about while huge systemic fuck-ups like VAR render the whole game pointless

I’ve been critical of him for a long time and I’m still unsure if he’s good enough for us long term, but he did himself proud today and was exactly what we needed when he came on.

No it isn’t - they’re professionals trying to do a job. Ellis Simms is from Oldham and I thought he did pretty well against Man Utd today. The problem isn’t individuals being biased, it’s a system that’s desperately trying to impose objectivity on a game of nuance, for fear of offending...

If you look hard enough, it was offside - end of story If the most important thing isn’t the flow of the game, or the drama of human error/success, but instead it’s making sure refs are consistent and never make a mistake, it’s totally understandable to want to slow the game down to the point...

Who is it benefiting? Are the games more fair? Are the fans more entertained? Are the refs more respected?

If you’re fretting about where the VAR ref from is etc you’re focusing on the wrong thing The goal was offside if you look hard enough for it - that’s almost indisputable The problem is a system that demands refs don’t make any mistakes, ever, even if it means the game itself is less entertaining

Kitching horrendous today, Binks and Thomas very good.

It’s killing the game. I refuse to take anyone seriously who’s ever defended it.

Just wanted to say bravo to the refereeing team today As we all know, consistency is the most important thing about refereeing, and indeed football itself At the end of the game, we thought we’d scored a dramatic late goal - obviously it was an instantly iconic moment, we celebrated harder...

This song will always remind me of the Luton penalty shootout, hate when they play it at the CBS.

Heard this as well last night from a well known face in Ramallah

England are pretty fucked if Chilwell is their starting LB this summer

Don’t really understand the criticism of Man City - they have players in Doku, Foden and De Bruyne who are brilliantly entertaining to watch.

There you go
