Thought this was at the start of that sentence, soz!

no worries.

Good save Adrian

[Fuzzy]

Doesn't mean it's not true.

That doesn't make any ****in sense though, why would VAR overruling it be an embarrassment or whatever for the ref, it's exactly why it's there, because we've all seen refs are human and can't do it all perfectly so VAR is there to help.

If anything it now makes her looks worse because she's responsible for a wrong result.

What ****in bull****

[Irishnev]

This is infuriating on so many levels

Adrian > Mignolet

He's pretty impressive so far for a freebie. He's done well.

[Kenneth]

It wasn't a clear and obvious error though. Within the confines of VAR, it did its job.

Shouldn't have been given initially though. Adrian was a bit rash also.

Which is a big issue with the rule. Just let the VAR ref the game and intervene as they wish, they have the best view.

A penalty given for no contact doesn’t fall under clear and obvious error?

Not really, because most people watching won't give a ****.

[Buzzo]

****ing pelanties written all over this now...

Absolutely agree. The lead ref should be in the studio with the pitch ref just making the simple decisions and relaying the big ones. There's too much money at stake for it not to be like that now.

Salah
Firmino
Trent
Origi
Virgil

That’s my 5

[BobTheCharmer]

Anyone fancy us on pens? Honestly?

I couldn't be 100% from all the replays I saw.

[Exiled_red]

No, I feel like we lack decent penalty takers, Milner is really the only one who is any good and he's not on the pitch

[Kenneth]

Not really.
