As a player myself who's had two ACL's, i wouldn't wish it on anyone, with a hint of what @Shak said thrown in, for anyone who's done anything horrendous on purpose.

Just like the old days pre-VAR. I can remember how favoured by refs ManU were, just how many controversial 'goals' they scored late in games. That's why VAR is necessary and just improved application.

Or perhaps VAR should only be used when ManU are playing?

Classic Old Trafford decision. One of the few times you’re grateful for VAR when you see the officials reverting back to the 90s/00s norm at Old Trafford and Anfield.

I mean VAR shouldn’t even come into the equation - that’s just absolutely dogshit refereeing.  The linesman must be blind.  I’m convinced that VAR is making them worse.

Tbf there were some really shocking offside decisions before VAR, and they still get it right most of the time without intervention. We have to accept that some horror calls like this will happen without VAR, like that used to happen way more often before. They just get more attention now that they have lots of replays to correct them, so our expectations are understandably much higher.

 

I agree that the favourite six gets these decisions way more often than other teams.

It’s from a free kick anarl, not some rapid counter attack when the lino and ref might be struggling to keep up with a fast moving situation at the end of a match

 

They’re both stood stationary in a perfect position waiting for a dead ball to be crossed in and neither of them sees 4/5 red shirts all stood offside ?

 

Aye right. Fucking loaded dice man

The two Alnwick lads I know are Sunderland and Liverpool fans, must be something about that town. Mind Rothbury are my local team and I go to watch Alnwick so I'm just as bad

I bet so many of the Ashington ones say its because of Bobby Charlton and definitely not glory-hunting back when they were good. :lol:

No doubt, as filmsy as that is. The town has a lot more love for Jack as opposed to Bobby for obvious reasons.
