Thread title's all I've got. So far as I'm aware nothing actually interesting is happening or set to happen at the moment so I guess just keep bitching about VAR in here if you like.
And only one game today as well? Even the fixture list has given up.
Don't worry, they'll be frogmarching me to RAM IT DOWN MY THROAT presumably.
There’s a game on Monday and on Tuesday this week. The latter being Luton vs Burnley which has 0-0 all over it.
I'm a twit
That's this generation's West Brom vs Stoke.
West Brom/Stoke seemed to happen about 8 times a year.
This one will only be happening this year. In the top flight at least.
Resurrecting 'Wordle' was a VARy bad decision. Board AIDS.
Hard to ignore too when it always at the top.
I'm a twit
Just seen that Wissa decision Gahahahahha. Geezer truly getting fucked for not playacting and another big VAR win.
“Liverpool Football Club acknowledges PGMOL’s admission of their failures last night. It is clear that the correct application of the laws of the game did not occur, resulting in sporting integrity being undermined.
“We fully accept the pressures that match officials work under but these pressures are supposed to be alleviated, not exacerbated, by the existence and implementation of VAR.
“It is therefore unsatisfactory that sufficient time was not afforded to allow the correct decision to be made and that there was no subsequent intervention.
“That such failings have already been categorised as “significant human error” is also unacceptable. Any and all outcomes should be established only by the review and with full transparency.
“This is vital for the reliability of future decision making as it applies to all clubs with learnings being used to make improvements to processes in order to ensure this kind of situation cannot occur again.
“In the meantime, we will explore the range of options available, given the clear need for escalation and resolution.”
I expected as much
Such a mong club.
'We can't actually do anything about it but here is our moan'
Surprised they didn't beg for a replay.
This result is basically the 98th.
Getting fired in a two team league so early, lol.
A two team league?
That's a funny statement up above. Love the shade of "failures" plural.
The only interesting thing which isn't be clarified is what the error was. I can only assume that, somehow, the VAR room didn't realise the goal had been disallowed on the pitch and so gave it a cursory check complete as the alternative scenario [pressing the wrong button but just going with it] seems a lot more mental. Oh wait, I see that has been confirmed.
Random undefeated season to win the league and be nowhere for 10 years before and now after.
Also, on the lol sports lawyering front [I assume this has been rejigged in the VAR era] but didn't there used to be some sort of rule where if the game was restarted the wrong way then the result was voided? I'm pretty sure a club tried to argue that once in some context or other [obviously unsuccessfully in my mind].
Here it is:

Liverpool also appealing the Jones red card.
The league will over turn both of them because they have no spine.
Hopefully Gary Neville’s on the committee.
I'm a twit
I thought that too. It's fucked to the point they need to bin it off until it's fixed.
Boys, stick to on-the-pitch discussion please, like this useless cunt's appraisal of his team's on-the-pitch competency:
He's been watching 2008 Premier League Years on Sky Sports Gold.
I'm a twit
On that note, did Egghead watch that viral clip of Amrabat vs Mbappe at WC and think he could play a bald Berber as an EPL fullback? Get the fuck out of the league lad, I need a new face to lol at.
Are Fulham going to beast Poch's men tonight?
This surely has to be the first time in the Prem era that we've gone into a game with Chelsea as favourites, I'll be genuinely disappointed if we don't get a win tonight.
Although a quick look at the odds says the bookies still favour Chelsea, bit surprised at that.
That’s because the Champions of XG are due a win and a bit win at that. Bookies too scared to leave the odds too long.
1-0 Fulham. Willian (58’), Caicedo sent off (36’)
It's a monday night, it'll be a draw surely.
Broja and Palmer starting against the most toothless side in the 18-team league, easy Chelsea win.
Broja after an ACL. He’ll probably snap it in half again having barely played at all since December
Palmer is a ridiculously good footballer.
Enzo back playing deeper/closer to caicedo and Chelsea pissing it. No surprises
Gammons being made to bow to a muslim because of the sheer strength of his girth/football knowledge. Incredible Monday evening scenes.
Watching Gallagher’s technical ability beside Palmer/Fernandez/Caicedo is quite funny
And so at last for Chelsea, a net has rippled: and indeed, it has rippled twice in a trice.
Still can't decide if Peter Drury is horrendous or great.

Thoughts and prayers for those VAR cunts tonight who are sweating it out like Russell Brand if he'd actually have been guilty of anything.
How many of them are there in that room, two? The "should we intervene?..."-"nah" exchange in that minute or so after goal was given will take them down.
Pathetic from Liverpool. What are they going to do, sue them? Rub of the green, my friends.
Jesus, I've just turned on SS for the first time in months and that's my fucking evening ruined. The greasy cunt must be manouvering for a new gig
Goals for Chelsea on October: 2
Rest of PL teams in October: 2
Who is laughing now?
They just want it for the lolz.
You have to wonder, at what point, one of the however many people in the room they have said to another, isn't it meant to be 1-0 to Liverpool?
As pointed out on MNC, the idiotic robot code they have to talk to each other in is as much to blame as anything. I'm not really a great fan of the TMO in rugger, but the one thing they have hit upon after however many years is the clear and open dialogue, in language people can understand that you now get, rather than insane shouty mess PGMOL rolled out recently.
What recording of some disaster am I thinking of where you heard the people supposedly in charge of preventing it absolutely failing to comic levels? This may reach those pevels.
Air France plane crash. [main guy says hang on, why are you pulling back on the stick seconds before everyone dies]
Or the one where Capt Schiettino [?] was getting coated off by the Italian Coastguard.
I got on an easyjet flight with Vinicius earlier in the year, and haven't been able to take him seriously since. If he's spearheading this Fulham outfit in the absence of any goals from Raul Jimenez then they're bang in trouble.
