All true. But they would have won anyway.

Is that because you care less about the football over there though and are not emotionally invested? I don’t believe there’s any bias in our refereeing at all.

I see what you mean. Yes I agree, I think one of the biggest issues with referees decisions at the highest level is not the decisions themselves but wider communication of them. This is definitely something that could be improved upon for the referees benefit as well as everyone else.

Oh absolutely. It’s pointless for the reasons I’ve said above. If this many fans can disagree on a forum for a club who the decision was given against, what chance has VAR got and what is the point in it?! Keep it for cases of mistaken identity and genuinely violent off the ball stuff and bin...

Where in the rules does it say it’s not a foul if you make contact with the ball?

Agreed, it’s really boring. You can add injuries to that this season too. Always blame something else. To be fair, it’s the same with every club though. Every club’s fans says refs/VAR are corrupt, which pretty much proves that it isn’t!
