Yeah, so we're definitely not going to talk about the nailed on red in the 6th second of the game.

But yeah, every OTHER team gets Refs and VAR decisions in their favour.

So it goes ... , honestly, I don't know why they bother with VAR, it is worthless.

Job's for mates?

I honestly think the amateurish way they handle it that it is jobs for mates. Everyone gets a turn, and now a double turn at "officiating". I know they get paid nowhere close to footballers, but 70k -200k GBP is decent money!

Definitely, I know, I would not mind at all. For a few hours a week, and free footie - why not.

My conscience would bother me too much though at every Friday morning ref zoom meeting where we decide to screw over a team and give no cards in the first half and then come back and hand out 6 so they can't say you're biased. Or not giving a nailed on penalty because you don't like the look of a certain player.

Deany what you got this week? Dodgy pen ... dodgy no pen .. or a dodgy offside??

Refs (incl Video Assistant Ref) are simply not held accountable - imagine having a job where you're not held accountable for your performance - no wonder they're so kuk

On the Mane red, I'll take it thank you - didn't see people complaining when Kane didn't get sent off or Rudiger for his two footed slider in the previous game.

Both Mane and Mount should have seen red

It’s actually crazy how poor the standards of refereeing are. Inconsistencies bordering on incompetence

At least there’s a bit of consistency.

Liverpool looking to get the CC 1st leg postponed due to covid….

Bet they won’t look to get their FAC game against Shrewsbury postponed…..
