People make mistakes. I'd be happy for each official who makes a mistake to be fired if we can be sure that they'll always be replaced by someone better, but I think we'd soon run out of experienced officials if we fired them all after one mistake. Missing a few games (ideally with a fine) to...

I think we accept that decisions won't be perfect, but where we're at right now it seems they're completely crap. The offsides, although irritatingly pedantic (what?) did seem correct previously, but yesterday there were two absolute howlers. The red cards we're discussing - the pundits and...

Fair enough. I didn't think it was, but maybe I didn't see it right. I didn't realise he was grimacing on his way in.

Ok. I really didn't think Mac's was a red card - he clearly tried to get the ball and his foot seemed to bounce up, causing the collision. Fabinho never had a chance of winning the ball and was simply trying to take Ferguson out, it was a horror challenge.

Mac's tackle and Faninho's were completely different.

That's not a bad idea, but you'd obviously end up with players surrounding the ref and hassling them to go to the monitor.

Ah yes, they hadn't turned it on or something

My concern with this approach is that when we go back and analyse which goals they cancel and which they don't, we'll no doubt find there's no consistency, with Utd goals standing unless they're 2 yards offside, and the rest of us seeing goals cancelled for being 2 foot offside. There were a...

I'm having a mind blank, what happened? Prior to goal line technology Arsenal were awarded a goal when they completely missed the goal, and one of their players tried to stop it going out for a goal kick - wasn't that against Sheffield Unt?

Yeah I haven't watched a single part of a race since 'that race'. Football has been nowhere near as bad though. They are messing up the game, but at least goal line technology is working, and VAR does fix some bad decisions.

I cannot believe they pay someone money to put that line on the last defender, and they put it on the wrong person. AFAIK that's the first time it's ever happened - and it happens to stop us scoring against Palace - what a f***ing surprise.

I'm not so sure. I agree. Mess up like that and you should be out.

Ok, so the idiots drew it from the wrong defender - but we need to know whether it would be offside had it been drawn from the correct defender.
