The conspiracy and corruption calls do make me laugh, hope our fanbase doesn’t become like Everton and Forest fans. It’s not that, it’s just that they’re all shît. |  |

Of course it's the fact they're rubbish, rather than corrupt. I don't know what the PGMOL expected really when introducing VAR? It was ALWAYS going to result in the de-skilling of refs. They don't even need to spot every incident now, since VAR can pick it up for them - except they've now raised the bar for VAR interference, so de-skilled refs are now missing more than they used to! Make it make sense. |  | |  |

Can't disagree with "significant human error" if even PGMOL admit that. But it's worth noting that without VAR, the decision would not have been any better, because the real-life, real-time lino was the one who ruled out the goal for offside. |  | |  |

Illuminati plot to get us relegated so that we can keep Leeds in the Championship for another season, innit. We're not the target, were the collateral. |  |

Following that the PGMOL introduced further safety measures which meant that the referee and VAR had to confirm the actual decision than making any assumption. I was more concerned with the rather uncertain decision making made by England during the away match at Watford. |  | |  |
