…for all the good it did them. I don't think there was anything tactical or time wasting about that injury. It's got to hurt a bit when you clatter into a centre forward going at speed. Cool as ice finish from MacAllister though. City extremely lucky they didn't concede another one in the dying seconds too. For me, it was a penalty all day long. It was a classic example of fouls outside the penalty area being treated differently to fouls inside the penalty area... anywhere else on the pitch, then Liverpool would've got a free kick for that, but no chance inside the area. At least it puts the current trend of Mank clubs suggesting Liverpool get all VAR decisions in their favour.

You cannot blame a referee or someone sitting in the VAR studio either to stick their necks out so much in games where a result is so important with so much money that could be decided on the result.

But isn't that what they are paid to do? If they are dodging decisions we may as well scrap VAR and go back to the interpretation of each referee. Even with VAR there isn't always consistency between decisions. I'm not convinced VAR is the solution we were expecting.

A friend and Liverpool fan asking how on Earth it's not a penalty on Facebook this morning. One of his replies suggested Liverpool should change their name to LiVARpool! 🤣

Its because human beings are involved in it therefore mistakes are bound to be made. Do we actually want football to be a game where no mistakes are made from any player, match official or VAR. Think the authorities thought VAR would illiminate them which has not been the case. We would end up having nothing to talk about and witness more goaless draws if all this happens.

Pre-VAR there were not too many blatant errors. Shame they will never get rid of it excluding goal line technology which is good.

Forest docked four points, putting them in the relegation zone. Not that that makes City’s reckoning any more likely to happen…

Not that that makes City’s reckoning any more likely to happen… What seems completely unfair is that Everton and forest have fully cooperated with the league investigation and yet find themselves punished. Whilst city have continually refused to cooperate and have hindered it. Yet they are just allowed to continue as normal,hooveringup prize money. As soon as they refused to give the required info,they should surely have been suspended or punished from the league,which wouldhave forcedthem to comply withthe investigation?.

The City one will be a whitewash. A fine which will mean nothing to their owners or a token points deduction of say three points if they won the league by four. The FA / PL will be too scared demoting them would just mean City would look to start up a European Super League again.

Not just city but the other top clubs would get the same treatment because its easier to make examples of the evertons and notts forests of the game to just show they are on top of things.
