Respect from a Red to a Blue, your comments are very much appreciated. In a city where the family rivalry has somewhat changed to one where there is anger and distaste, it is nice to know there are some fans out there that can see through the corruption and offer a fair and unbiased point of view. We saw a horrendous decision last year in the City v EFC game. Their lies and corruption are affecting the majority of teams in the PL (it seems one team gets away with everything though). Brown envelopes are being pushed about, slid under doors and people are being bought all over the place. I hate to say it but these FPP charges against City and Everton, I reckon City will walk with a minor fine but Everton, they'll throw the book at because there's a very strange agenda and it has to be manipulated to benefit the objective. It's wrong and unjust. Something has to change because this whole league is a disaster snowballing out of control.

Liverpool fans have no right to complain about red cards/fouls/penalties as they've been on the benefiting end of many of those decisions, in my opinion they shouldn't have been awarded a penalty in the first minute of the champions league final. But again, that's subjective. The disallowed goal, however, is not. That goal should have stood. And the fact that it didn't because play had started and its against protocol to go back and fix things is absurd. As a fan of the game it just doesn't sit right.

It seems there's way more fury and reaction here than any previous instances of VAR controversy. For the record, I totally understand their anger at the decisions, I've been annoyed myself as a fan, but I just don't see what else they want. They aren't going to void the result and/or rescind the cards, so unless there's an overhaul of VAR, we'll be facing similar situations in the near future!

As a Spurs fan I feel for Liverpool here. I was sitting there watching at home and thinking this is surely going to be overturned and the goal awarded, as everyone and their dog and gran could see Romero's leg playing Diaz onside, with the pitch lines helping in addition. A serious reveiw needs to happen. I will even say I thought the red card and 1st Jota yellow were harsh. I have always been a fan of VAR to ensure fairness and the right calls are made that would normally slip through and have massive consequences, but if VAR is then incorrectly overturning decisions, or not intervening correctly, then get rid and go back to trust in just the officials on the pitch. Personally I want to know that my team has won fairly, and not just for draws and loses.

[@NoxiousRob]

Apparently the VAR thought the goal had been given, so when they checked and saw the player was onside and said check complete, they thought they were confirming that it was a legitimate goal whereas they were confirming the actual on-field decision that it was offside. This explains why the check was completed so quickly as it was pretty obvious even without drawing lines that the player was onside. It still beggars belief that the VAR didn't know that the goal had been called offside, there's clearly a communication breakdown or the VAR wasn't paying proper attention to the game or got confused somehow. And why just say check complete, why not clearly state the outcome of the check. If they'd said the player was onside, or the goal stands, then the on-field ref would have reversed the offside decision.

@@anipal029 I watched the game, but I'm sure there were a couple that went Liverpool's way. I'm sorry, but we've had this for years now in football, with home teams getting favourable decisions. It shouldn't take this match for something to happen with VAR. Like I said, the trouble now is that they'll be expected to apologise after every game where there are wrong calls. I've watched United games over the past couple of years where we've also been robbed, but I've not been on here demanding apologies or replays. Why? Because it's a bit rich coming from a fan of a big club. I just wish they'd never bothered with VAR. Football was far more free-flowing and exciting before.

[@NankerPhelge65]

The wolves / city game was fixed. millions changed hands, prem took its cut and City demanded that liverpool not win. Case Closed.

[@Nightopian1982]

@@NankerPhelge65 Wow, I mean if only every case was so easy to reach a verdict on, eh? You come up with a theory, and that's it, no evidence required, it's precisely what you say happened. You seriously think Liverpool aren't at the forefront of the football establishment's minds in this country? Believe me, I hate what City have transformed into, and what's happened to top flight football as a result, but 'case closed'? Please.

[@riverbluesky]

It’s absolutely disgraceful. It’s so bad I don’t think it’s incompetence. Which leads me to believe it was something worse

[@watkinsrory]

I totally agree with yoh here.

[@neumaticabyss920]

I just don't understand how every average viewer at home can see it's onside, but professionals who get paid to do this and have the support of all this different technology manage to make a mistake. It really makes you think there is some form of bias or other unspoken issue with the staff working VAR on particular games sometimes.

[@johnnyhock]

You’ve answered your own question… It’s no mistake This is blatant corruption going on

[@9dicko]

Stopped watching due to this watching lower league now and really enjoying it and it's not a rip off.

[@aldenpadilla1773]

Var didn't fail to intervene. Even VAR knew it was onside but they relayed the information as "stick to your decision". Unfortunately the on field decision was offisde so the VAR in big screen showed it's offside even though the VAR knew it's onside.

[@smelfungus]

Funny how these mistakes keep happening to teams that could be challenging City for the title.

mate, city were robbed at old trafford last season. Lay off it

City were robbed at ot its nit a case of city getting the decisions is incompetence but in the other hand how many times have spurs been getting all theses decisions

[@gojoverse1460]

So you're saying city paid the refs to help tottenham😹

[@magedhamed9577]

Pathetic Sterling pen the 2021 2022 season, rodri obvious pen,arsenal vs city debacle the same season,arsenal getting robbed against Brendford for the SAME freaking reason as today,Ws i an convinced city is involved

[@Molvolio]

I was fuming last year with some decisions against Arsenal. They did Liverpool dirty here. I saw during the game that this could never have been offside.

[@joachimfigga5995]

When things like this used to happen to Arsenal all the time no one cared lol. Now suddenly Pool and manure Fans crying

[@yahyyahatchia5432]

This referee should step down a real shame.shame for epl.english referees are bad in decision making but today is worst.

[@thetopfootycoach]

Brentford game changed the title race. Has happened to Liverpool when competing with City before too (Kompany knee high tackle on Salah, Jota penalty+Kane red at Spurs, Rodri handball). If you get too close to City, suddenly you get decisions against you and for them.
