we were robbed, not just of a win, but possibly one last big goodison grandstand of a last minute winner against the mancs
could have had the stadium in absolute pandemonium and then harmony singing all the songs in the sunshine
but no, we get VAR pulling apart reasons not to reward the opportunity to score a goal
it’s unequivocally made the game worse, less fun, less enjoyable, less live, hasn’t made it fairer, it creates fouls and offsides that were never there before, it gives opportunity to choose what the officials want, when it should be a snapshot decision without bias
the ref gives a foul because its a foul, he can’t in that moment think of what a united loss might mean, or if theres doubt. he just has to make a decision and thats what football should be
i feel sick at what could have been. may have been my last ever visit to goodison and me and thousands of others have been robbed the memory of a lifetime there
