If he wasn't interfering with play Brian Clough would have substituted him immediately

VAR has made what used to be straightforward decisions into subjective ones

VAR is not there to make correct decisions, it’s there to protect the referee from criticism.

Still two teams that have scored in every Prem game so far...

A Tale of Two Cities - is it just coincidence that it's the rwo clubs to have pulled a moonie in the face of FFP and PSR?

Gooners away next for us should be fun.

He's right and the same thing used to happen with Man Utd when Fergie was there.

It's not outright favouritism, but there's definitely a subconscious tendency to favour these teams.

exactly the point i made at the time and it seems the norm to only show the ref the clip which most supports the var officials decision instead of the 2 main ones

You're also one of 'these teams', you do realise that?

Excellent video that.

I like it because for me it says when does gamemanship become cheating.

Suppose it depends on what the ref was shown by var, and what the rules say.

I love the way he goes down because he knew his tactics would see a ball incoming, but the officials all had chance to overturn the decision. Sorry I mustn't laugh.

Was gonna say we get more red cards because we've had a poor disciplinary record, so the leaning is to punish us because of this 'record'

Or you get more red cards cos you're cheating ****s?

No, that can't be it mate.

You reckon you're down?

 

[Solid Air]

You reckon you're down?

well he's hardly likely to be particularly happy about throwing away a 2 goal lead is he

Let's not forget the blatant foul not given just before city went up the other end and scored an offside goal.

By the way, I don't give a ****te in the Kane debate, play him, don't play him, makes not difference to me. The only thing I do think sometimes and not just with Kane, what about trying something different, what about giving some up and coming kid a chance, some teams do it with older players. Pele was 17 when he won the world cup, Maradona 25....at 31 will this be Kane's last chance or will he get another and deprive some English Pele kid 20 years his junior a chance. Questions, questions, I don't know the answers, only fate does.

Yamal for Spain also .
People go on about our players saying they are only kids .
Had Yamal even left school when he won the Euros in July ?
