The Footie Thread

You reckon Ally McCoist goes home in-between matches to see his family or just goes from ground to ground?

Nomad!

Just a great goal

Just watching the highlights of the Villa v Newcastle game.

It highlights my point re officials and VAR. VAR was brought in because of inept officials.

1, the Villa goal was offside.
2, the keeper sending off was correct.
3, Digne should have been sent off.
4, Digne handled in the box. Should of been a penalty.

Am sure there was more. But that was the worst officiating I have seen for an age. And yet now these officials will be on the pitch next week and they will be let loose in a VAR booth. Shocking.

Brighton played some nice footy but never really looked like scoring.
Thought they would put the strongest side out.

Some good performances from Liverpool players ,thought Kirkez deserved MOM for me.
But Mcoist just gives it to a goal scorer.
Should have give it to the guy in the seagull mask.

Do you think there are better, more qualified officials waiting to be called in to replace them?

Possibly proves that VAR or not, fans will not accept mistakes.

The non-penalty for handball was a bad one, but pre VAR there were many howlers made from time to time.

P.S. It wasn't called in for inept officials. It was called in to try and resolve human error, which is unavoidable. Looks like Liverpool had a perfectly good 4th goal disallowed as well, never offside.
