might sound like a bit of a conspiracy theorist admittedly but something tells me that the team managed by former doping cheat pep guardiola, largely staffed by barcelona alumni involved in paying off neigrera, with hundreds of financial charges against them, who's owners also just paid the referees half their yearly salary for a game two days earlier in the league they own in the middle east might not be entirely above board

It's funny if the argument is it must be rigged because there's no way the refs could be so incompetent, as if we haven't seen them be that incompetent for years

The underlying assumptions that Liverpool are the only team that Man City would need to sabotage and that rigging games to help Spurs wouldn't potentially be a risk at all are fun ones.

with a time sensitive system like VAR you need a protocol, a process and a standard for everything. they didn’t have a clear way to hand off decisions to var and vice versa. they didn’t have a process for rescinding var calls in the event of a miscommunication, even if play has restarted. they thought through the broad strokes but didn’t think through the implementation details, the edge cases.

you can bench a ref for a week — sack them, even — and send them for more training but humans make mistakes no matter what. the system should be accounting for that possibility in ways other than making a very public apology

Stating from the outset what they are checking for and then reading out the decision in full would seem like a really simple change

Liverpool were robbed by that offside decision but this was absolutely a red card.

This is all starting to feel like that time Liverpool fans were going to call the police because Virgil was on the wrong end of a heavy tackle.
