I don’t think anyone else has mentioned it but did you notice Richarlison rush over to Matip, at the final whiske, to console him for the og. Nice touch by him- a good guy.

Nah, I was too busy laughing at him and Liverpool. Sorry, not sorry.

It feels like they are threatening PGMOL and putting out inflamitory statements to essentially cause a massive uproar that in the future, refs/VAR will be scared to intervene anything negative to em going forward. If this happened the other way around, you really think their supporters would be screaming for a rematch, they would be mocking us online relentlessly calling it "spursy".

Also another great note made by the Robbies on their podcast was that this feels like a new squad with new outcomes and that under Mourinho or Conte we wouldn't of gotten that winner, the luck would've been the other way around.

Think they reckon by challenging the red card decision they will get that overturned because of the offside call. They really are different breed.

Hope the FA add an extra game suspension for challenging the decision as it's a clear red.

With regards to the red card, if Jones caught the top 1/2 inch of the ball then his foot was 8 inches off the ground when he went in for the tackle. That is high enough to be deemed a red in itself irrespective of intent.

Breaking News on BBC. Pool have formally requested the VAR audio recording of the game 🙄

According to the BBC, they have released VAR audio on six other occasions already this season so this is hardly an earth shattering development. But that statement of theirs leaves them open to all sorts. I'm wondering if they are making so much noise for effect, so that things don't get swept under the carpet any more but it's clear that at some point they simply have to let it go. I think this is almost becoming as damaging to them as it already is to VAR.

Interesting to know what their end game is here. There's obviously not some conspiracy against them. Some humans made a big cock up. It happens, humans do that sometimes...they always have and always will.
Are they going to demand that humans don't make mistakes anymore?

They're just looking ridiculous to the entire football world, minus their loony fans who are lapping it up.

They should send them a recording of some vaguely Saudi sounding, scooby doo villain voices, lots of crackling and whispers with the only clear words being “Now say check complete” and “City must prosper”.

The 6 audios were released as part of the Match Officials Mi'cd Up show with M Owen and Howard Webb. AFAIK they have never been released following a club request.

This may already have been covered, but I missed it if so. But it seems the referee, from his facial reaction, was aware that a mistake had been made by VAR almost immediately after the restart of play. Presumably the VAR people were saying to him that they meant it was a goal, but he considered he could not do anything as he had already restarted play.

But was he right? Could he not have acknowledged immediately that a mistake had been made and award the goal, albeit a few seconds belatedly? Obviously, a replay is impossible, but it would be no injustice to stop play and make the correct decision a few seconds late. If the law currently says this cannot happen, then surely a simple law change could resolve the problem.

That is the current state of the laws - and you are right, it should be changed to give the officials more discretion here.

What did their latest statement say? Why does it leave them open?

They bloody love to kick up a stink. Such an annoying club.
