Arsenal at home Sunday 31st August 430pm

[vlahka]

I'm just happy this is at home. If it was away I'd be dreading it so early in the season.

Michael Salisbury is removed as VAR for Liverpool vs. Arsenal.

Salisbury was the VAR for Chelsea vs. Fulham who disallowed Josh King's goal.

PGMO acknowledges it was an incorrect VAR intervention.

Will they be stricter or more lenient. I’m not sure what to expect but he will be under pressure if anything comes his way.

Refs should be like players. Import the best from around europe. Why should we have to suffer the english ones who are thickos. They can go work in a different league. 'Best' league in the world should have the best refs too.

Strange cos I thought it was correctly called a foul. Not deliberate but he was not in full control of the action of his movement therefore he was likely to come down heavy on someone's foot. Which he did.

What about the ref? He was sent to the monitor and then changed his decision.

Either he is equally to blame for the mistake or PGMOL are effectively admitting the referees ‘final say’ is a farce and that VAR IS being used to re-ref games.

This has been obvious to everyone else for some time but PGMOL have refused to admit it.

Hopefully he is held accountable too. We might have heard about the VAR because he’s in for this game but the ref wouldn’t be in charge again until the next round of games.

Nah - it was a coming together, no malice no intent. It’s a contact sport there was no foul play. He’s turning there is literally nowhere else for his foot to go.

He wasn’t even looking at the Chelsea player who went down, stayed down and milked it.

If this sort of thing is penalised we are going to be left with an empty shell of a game no passion, no skill. It will soon barely be worth celebrating a goal as we instead wait for the forensic analysis of what went on before.

I genuinely think of that goal was allowed we aren’t even talking about the ‘foul’ this morning.

Yeah go to the screen and disagree? I don’t understand why they never challenge back when referred to the screen.

These 4.30 kick offs really make Sundays crawl by.
I've read the while of the Sunday Indo and the Times and there's still over an hour to go.

Go watch a replay of Old Firm. Was a classic.

Thought we might see Szobo RB again. Good to have Mac back.
