I don’t even have the heart to say “cmon Leicester” as I just don’t care anymore. And that’s the most damning assessment of how far United have fallen.
07 Feb 2025 21:44:41
Nah, I’m still shouting Leicester home - they can’t fall far enough for me.
07 Feb 2025 21:45:02
This is a dreadful watch. Love to get them back to Anfield in the next round to right the wrong of last month. How on earth.

And that's why VAR should never go away, just used better. Maguire was miles offside!
07 Feb 2025 21:58:27
And that ladies and gentleman is why we now have VAR. Maguire is about a mile and half offside and the lino looking right at it either bottled it or suddenly became Stevie Wonder. Absolute shocker.
07 Feb 2025 22:03:56
Linos will make mistakes. So will refs, players and managers. I'd still rather not have VAR and automated offsides.
Ruins the game and we just end up speaking about VAR rather than the football.
07 Feb 2025 22:55:22
We’d still be taking about the mistakes the refs and linos make rather than the football even with out VAR Brommers. That’s why VAR was brought in in the first place.
VAR needs to improve massively, but with it it should only be a matter of time until it’s all about the football rather than officials.
07 Feb 2025 22:56:32
Couldnt disagree more Brommers. offside goals should never be allowed!
07 Feb 2025 23:32:22
Instead we just talking about the bad lino. VAR not too bad, its the peeps that use and apply it.
08 Feb 2025 00:10:12
Better a mistake to be made periodically than a title to be lost to a goal which never should count, because it’s not against the rules of the game.
If ref mishaps like Tottenham last year for example are the price to pay for some more fairness in the long run, then so be it.

There is a parallel universe where we hired Ruben Amorim and we’re currently say in mid table about to watch us play 5 at the back against Plymouth. Midfield pivot of Orkun Kökçü and Endo finally getting a rest after spending the first half of the season chasing Victor Gyokores’ first touch.

All the talk about VAR - this wasn't an offside that was only millimetres in it. It was clear, there were about 4 of them all about half a metre or more in front of the linesman - he should have seen this, absolutely clear and obvious.
{Ed025's Note - the linesman will either get a big brown envelope Bill....or a white stick and a labrador mate..
08 Feb 2025 14:07:25
I could never ever say"Comon Leicester"especially with some of the disgusting stuff their fan's sing about Liverpool.
08 Feb 2025 13:41:23
@ed25
Either means he’s unfit to be a professional lino
The offside was so clear and obvious that is both options you offered were untrue, then the only other possible reason was that he was so sick of the briefest that he couldn’t beat to ref it for another 30mins.
{Ed025's Note - it really was an awful game SG..
08 Feb 2025 15:36:16
It was from a free kick, as well.
The game had stopped, everyone was near enough stood still and he still got it wrong!
