And then it gets ruled out

they got there in the end in Klopp time

keep the whistle in the mouth in case their opponents look as though they might break away and nick it, then keep playing until Liverpool score and blow the whistle as quick as possible

While the endless injury time when they need a goal is one concerning constant thing, of more acute concern with regards to this match was the fact that Liverpools winner was the clearest offside I think I have seen all season, but mysteriously when the real image of the position of players taken from the moment the free kick is taken shows the player miles offside, bizarrely the computer image used to rule it onside was visibly and noticeably different.

Where the hell did VAR conjure up this image from? Because it is nothing like the reality. And once again this bizarre exception just so happens to favour the behemoth side over the smaller one. Weirdly VAR never seems to **** up the other way round. Almost like its corruption in plain site. Oh well, if Forest go down by 1 point I am sure PGMOL's incoming apology will heal the 150 million in revenue they lose.

I'd actually like to see teams start to sue PGMOL for these errors. I am not convinced these are actual errors, so it might persuade them to stop giving top 4 teams free points.

toe nail, seemingly played him on according to the technology

a couple of weeks ago Joe Willock had a lovely goal ruled out because of the shape of his forehead

Indeed, but the problem was the picture was not the same as in reality. The position of the players was wrong.

[Durhamfootman]

I read that there's a tolerance built into the VAR system where, when two players are on exactly the same line, the line gets moved to favour the attacker, because when it's as close as that they don't want VAR to rule out the goal.

Lineker wants VAR scrapped and a team review system introduced in its place. each team gets 2 reviews, if wrong the review is lost.

Collina wants VAR use expanded to include more incidents, even though from the outset everyone was told that VAR was only ever going to be there to eliminate howlers and would not be used to re-referee the game. Now, it seems, they want it to

I'm beginning to think they might go down. Wolves and Burnley look gone but who goes with them?

[Durhamfootman]

Spurs and W Ham both doing the things they need to do for relegation and survival

I'm convinced Tottenham are gonna go down! We (west ham) are showing fight and scoring goals as are forest...spurs are just on a downward spiral and look horrendous in every aspect of the game they are in freefall

Port Vale, take a bow

bottom of league one and now in the last 8 of the FA cup against PL opposition

odd decision for Sunderland to only bring Xhaka on with 5 mins left in the game

Sunderland's first real blip in an otherwise hugely impressive season

Newcastle take an early lead away to Chelsea through Anthony Gordon

Huge point for the mighty irons last night!! For once we defended brilliantly! Huge day ahead now especially if forest and spurs drop points again!
