….they’d have dropped to 7th had that ‘goal’ been allowed.

Once again VAR providing a case for its complete abolishment.

Absolutely pathetic call, and possibly ruined what would have been one of the biggest / most celebrated talking points for years.
Now that goal will be resigned to history never to be discussed or enjoyed again.

Am I allowed to blame the ref for not seeing/calling either foul live? Because it was fairly obvious that they both had massive tugs at each other's shirts live and last I checked that isn't legal.

Yep Lose

Well just topped my weekend, get in!

Liverpool and Brighton losing in the same weekend. You love to see it. @Moomin @MikeH72

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Last time we won away after conceding first and LFC lost at home after scoring first on the same weekend..

Any takers?

 

[PITA]

They need a goal if Liverpool score

City will chase and therye crap at that

Good shout. Not shocked that @Toffeepot liked your post.

Haaland fouled him as he was going for it. There’s no advantage from that.

The first foul from Slob doesn’t negate a foul by haaland.

It’s ridiculous but fairly clear why it’s given. But I’d rather a red and a loss for them then just the loss.

Agreed and quite honestly I find the way it played out more amusing .

That doesn’t take anything away from the horror of the implementation of VAR .

Just apply some common sense la. Denial of a goal scoring opportunity when it went in. Just so silly.

Whilst I agree, Slob claimed a foul against him so is asking the ref to look at it and make a decision.

Also, he quite clearly tried to prevent the goal by cheating and would have done had haaland not reciprocated. Why should he then get away with that.

You know what happens when we always get a chance like that mate…

We're all to long in the tooth and riddled with everton based ptsd to have any hope

 

[heatmeiser]

Craig Pawson is an utter moron. My mind is blown....

Tbf he gave the goal, people must realise VAR tell referees what to do by now

File under Don Hutchinsons backside goal.....
Wonder which team got off the hook that day too.

For me the ref used his common sense, let it play out, and that's that. Attempted denial of goalscoring opportunity ended up not mattering. For VAR to then stick their oar in is just another demo of their overreach.

To be fair, the ref originally gave it. But it’s funnier by the fact the followed the rules to the letter. How can they play advantage for haaland fouling him back, it’s a separate foul.

Without the first foul the second would not have happened unbelievable decision not to give the goal, in my mind the game finished 3-1 City and Liverpool are seventh in the league. Sometimes a defeat for Liverpool is not enough for me..Good evening lads.
