He's looking straight at him and sets a pick like it's basketball. If it was against anyone else but Chelsea it wouldn't be an issue on here.
If he was onside would they have given the goal? Because it happends at most set pieces and they never give a foul for it.

Media influence is absolutely a thing and managers play the media to get exactly outcomes like these. Liverpool have got pretty much everything their way since the game at ours, and now someone's called it out they suddenly get two disaster decisions against them in the game immediately afterwards. That's too coincidental.
Ridiculous bollocks. The idea that it’s actually not VAR or the officials, but decisions are made because someone moaned is just tin foil hat.


But if you genuinely think that then you crack on. La-La land is that way ——-> 😜

And there’s the problem in a nutshell. These guys have been ruining the game for years.
IFAB have ever since the idea of VAR was first floated been obsessed with micromanaging every little detail of the game to suit them, not the spectacle or the players.

Poch should be sacked tonight if he doesn’t win this final.

They’re basically playing Liverpool U21’s.

Good decision there, Nicolas Jackson trotting off the pitch as Poch has realised they’ve got more chance of winning this playing with 11.

Can you ever make a point without being so condescending? Does my fucking head in.

I think it's the nature of video review in sports where most of the decisions aren't factual (e.g. tennis). The scope of video review always expands. It could be like a law of nature.

The idea of "clear and obvious" sounds great when moments like the Henry handball. But creating a video review system that only addresses 0.1% or 1% of errors while you see error after error uncorrected each week was never going to be sustained.
