Such a welcome goal from Brighton.

Hopefully Liverpool Brighton stays 2-2

What a miss by Pedro!

 

[richie_spur]

I'd love to see Brighton get a last minute, bit dodgy, debatable goal!

 

[Grays_1890]

Diaz is overrated jank

 

[Rorschach]

Kudos to that man.

Likely to be calls for a replay anyway, as there was a critical incident exactly 7 minutes 45 seconds before the equaliser, when a Brighton player placed his hand on a Liverpool player’s shoulder as they waited for a throw-in to be taken.

hahaha you know someone somewhere is actually saying that in the Liverpool camp

 

[nelto]

That’ll do

 

[Mikey10]

That’ll do! Sky winding up again on the anti-Liverpool conspiracy theories ffs.

Would be willing to sacrifice being top of the league over the international break to see Arsenal getting a serious hiding.

A bunch of very welcome draws....too much to ask for just one more?

 

[Jordinho]

I'd take a draw to complete the set.

Just cut the cord with SkySports, nauseating.

Its one of those games where every outcome has a positive to us

Arsenal win (as long as its 2-1 or 1-0) - We Stay Top. Only not sure I like this outcome
Draw - The perfect outcome
City Win - We gain 3pts on Arsenal, with, as you say hopefully a good hiding

 

[paxtonwolf]

Oh er, get Sky Sports, with their new camera angle, Game Mode....

 

[Aldo]

That Woolwich bench is pure toss.

OK, so in which instances should this "common sense" be used? There has to be some protocol for it! A penalty not given? Should that count? What about a save on the goal line with hands, and the penalty missed. It should have been a goal. The just thing would be award a goal, but it would also be utterly ridiculous!

VAR is there to spot all of the issues you''ve mentioned but if it catastrophically fails, sort it out at the next stop of play, I've said this quite clearly throughout.

The rules for a handball to save a goal is a red card and a penalty so following the rules correctly would be the best approach, I don't understand your point on that one, I agree with that rule.

If something is a goal, give it as one and remove a procedure that allows an incorrect decision being made consequently set in stone despite it being an evidently incorrect decision.

*Edited to make the response less prickly as there's no point.

Raya went on a road trip there

 

[Rorschach]

City should be ahead.
