Going out on a limb here - our 18 year old emergency right back is on a different level to Liverpool’s 20 year old emergency right back.
The point is I didn't get to turn off the TV before Rio started flapping his jaws (so that's very much on me) he opened with the same, 'i can't believe they didn't even review it'.
We all know it was reviewed, so why say that? why perpetuate the chaos that swirls around VAR, to the wider audience?
TBH I was still laughing at West Ham to be that bothered by a probably wrong decision that went against them.
I haven't seen it, so forgive me - how do you know it was reviewed, did they say so?
A contentious decision is the penalty area - that's VAR's job.
If it wasn't and I'm wrong then c'est la vie, apologies all round.
Mac Alister is running this game.
That looked like a red card tackle on Diaz on first viewing
Sky of course roll out the "no intent" line as if it still matters

His defensive game seems to have gone up a notch now that he has no Caicedo to rely on.
Far far worse I thought. I didn’t have sound as watching on phone while wife watching tv. That was ankle breaker.
I agree with this 100%. It was absolutely stone wall pen. Shocking from officials to miss it.
Oh well. About time parking the bus vs terrible side didn’t get the reward.

At what point do you worry about getting home? Celtic v Buckie Thistle. Celtic 5 up, 75 mins gone. 200 miles home. Anoucement trains stop shortly due to weather.

Congrats. As an occasional and ineffectual gambler, why are PP offering separate odds like that and allowing you to combine them when the bets are hardly distinct from one another? Is this the bookies offering arbitrage?

Now 0-3, definitely game over.
The eye opener to me was Moyes patently going for a draw at home to far-lower-budget little old Brighton. Seemingly treating our two games as two legs of a cup tie.
Quite. I don't know if it is a failing of VAR or the fans. It was a feature of all the articles when it was introduced, and it has been repeated many times, that VAR are constantly reveiwing things that fall in their remit (goals, penalties, red cards, mistaken identity). So fans should know. But then they also dcided that they would flash up on the screen when a review is happening, but this only happens if games are stopped and the review goes on for a long enough time for someone to say 'put it on the screen'. Which results in this mistaken belief that if it's not shown on the screen or there isn't a clear stoppage then they must have not reviewed it.
I'm inclined to believe it was reviewed and that the VAR didn't see it as a clear and obvious error. One of those 'wouldn't have overturned it if given, either' situations.
But given some of the process failures - (line on the wrong defender in ourt game v palace last year, the offside in that Liverpool game v Spurs) I wouldn't rule out them not doing their jobs properly.
Ok, so we have no idea. They should have, but sometimes they don't. Unless play stopped and then continued soon after, in which case, they probably didn't.
Absolutely.
I really should just run what I want to say on each contention decision past you and let you translate it for me.
There was enough game time remaining for the TV to show a replay - as what's her face felt it might have been given for handball against Bowen (now that would have iced the cake).
