Maybe there’d be less criticising of the referees if they were doing a much better job than currently are, and not having massive fuck-ups every week.

VAR decides to draw another line, which is offside.

And it’s the correct decision, as you can clearly see that the Burnley player is over the green line (thus offside) in the bottom image.

I mean the video evidence does seeming confirm it was a Hamas rocket failure that caused it.

I’m not a Newcastle fan, but it’s actually quite interesting how other fans opinions of Longstaff are similar to the ones Jordan Henderson got, especially as they do/did a similar role for their teams.

###Liverpool Football Club acknowledges PGMOL’s admission of their failures last night. It is clear that the correct application of the laws of the game did not occur, resulting in sporting integrity being undermined.

We fully accept the pressures that match officials work under but these pressures are supposed to be alleviated, not exacerbated, by the existence and implementation of VAR.

It is therefore unsatisfactory that sufficient time was not afforded to allow the correct decision to be made and that there was no subsequent intervention.

That such failings have already been categorised as “significant human error” is also unacceptable. Any and all outcomes should be established only by the review and with full transparency.

This is vital for the reliability of future decision-making as it applies to all clubs with learnings being used to make improvements to processes in order to ensure this kind of situation cannot occur again.

In the meantime, we will explore the range of options available, given the clear need for escalation and resolution.
