Any Liverpool fan who wants to relieve the horrors of their worst night at 23:10 ITV are showing extended highlights on the final game of the 88/89 season against Arsenal!

OMG thats a "I remember where I was" moment when I saw that game. Only "Aguerrrrrrrrooooooo" tops that

Until I saw it again last night I never realised just how unenthusiastic the commentator was considering what had just happened and the way it finished.
From a neutrals perspective it must of felt like 'meh' moment

Certainly nothing like the Aguero goal a few years ago

Oh no I forgot to watch it

Iirc it was 0-0 at half time and then Alan Smith scored. Not many games have their own wiki page but I've just discovered that one has.

Who was the commentator Brian Moore? Although he was ITV. Motson on BBC with Moore and Tyler being ITV I think iirc

Just gone onto YT and watched brief highlights and it was Brian Moore but OMG that dribble from John Barnes in the final minute when he should have taken it to the corner flag was almost like watching the David Ginola moment when he did the same for France in a final WC qualifier in 1993.

They only needed a draw at home to Bulgaria to qualify for the 94 WC and he gave possession away needlessly and they broke away and scored and France hated him after that. Worth going onto YT to see the comparison

Three early goals in the playoff have wiped out most of my profit for the day.

I love 0-0 draws. Wish every match ended 0-0.

I see VAR is even ruining the Hong Kong Premier League.

VAR is a pandemic in itself......a disease, a virus that has spread across the world

Really fancy having a flutter on Brentford today! Despite losing the first leg away from home infront of 10k away fans they dominated the game. Now they're at home infront of just their fans & hold the extra incentive to score (imo).

I should stay away from football

There's no easy solution to the problem but I believe a large dose of common sense needs to be administered. Clearly there was a need for something because people were talking more about referring decisions than games. Players are diving more and the game is faster and fitness levels of refs have not matched it.

But VAR needs to be addressed. You can't even properly cheer most goals anymore and stunning goals are being disallowed because someone was mms offside in some cases but that's down to game laws. For example years ago there has to be daylight between a striker and the defender to be offside. But a lot of clubs started exploiting that and game dynamics altered. Then just when you need informed decisions like when you get a handball in the box then you still have the same flaws... Namely officials who gave never played football.

VAR like any other technology needs to be assisted by human intelligence and common sense

You could be forgiven for not expecting that to happen. Bizarre given the context.

I've only got it on through the Flashscore radio thingy... I'm sure he just said that there is 4k away fans? I thought only home fans were allowed. My conclusion is I have no idea whats going on
