@British_Airways hello, is your site down? I have been trying to manage my booking for about 2 days now but can’t get the website or app to work, when will it be fixed?
Gary’s hands are tied so he’s spouting corporate nonsense here and minimising a major incident.
I was at #CFCWHU Sept last year what would have been a good last min West Ham equaliser was chalked off for a supposed foul by Jarrod Bowen on CFC keeper Mendy in the build up. The decision was scandalous and the referee’s body PGMOL have since apologised for the decision. But judging a foul is NOT as clear cut as judging offside. This is the first time a goal has been wrongly chalked off on an offside decision. Football fans have reacted because you’re either offside or you’re not.
As lovers of the game, we have every right to know exactly what went wrong. That it doesn’t happen again is also how the game evolves.
As an extreme example, if airlines said after every air crash “it’s a f@@k up! we’ve all done it” there would be no airline industry. The first phase of an investigation (yes the analogy fits as chalking off a good goal for offside is metaphorically a ‘crash’) is to obtain the data relevant to the mistake. For planes, it’s the black box flight recorder. For Premier league football it’s the conversation between VAR & the referee. This needs to be released into the public domain. The fact that they haven’t means something very wrong has taken place.
@LFC had a good goal wrongly chalked off against a close rival when down to 10 men which could have a massive impact on the season. As a club they have every right to ask for transparency - as in find out exactly what went wrong - and take it from there.
In a post VAR world we are in uncharted territory. Any outcome after such a mistake is on the table, even replaying the game, who knows?
But an apology for “human error” - which is precisely why VAR was introduced to guard against - now being used to draw a line under the incident?
Not a chance in hell.
The “for you” section is filled with horrific videos showing actual death. Can’t believe it auto plays under an unassuming title and then before you know what’s happening you’ve seen it. Why on earth is this allowed? @Twitter
Hi All, I’ve got 3 tickets to Australia v India World Test Championship Final at the Oval going for this Friday 9th June. £70pp Should be a great day for it ☀️please feel free to share with interested parties - thanks
@mrdanwalker Completely agree! It’s embarrassing/horrible how much betting stuff is yelled at you around a game via most media coverage. Thoughts on the length of ban? Seems very harsh but then after doing the maths it’s only a little over 1 day per breach of rules. #ivantoney
Not really having that “Arsenal pushed City all the way” .. come back to me when they take it down to the last few minutes of the season and lose by a point. Yes I’m #LFC, show me I’m wrong! #mancity#arsenal
Honestly looks like it’s one of those where you are dared to squeeze a certain word into an interview. From the reactions too 😂 hard to fathom he meant it and ignored the level of irony!
Permit me an observation on the controversy surrounding @GaryLineker's view on immigration and asylum as expressed in his now notorious tweet. I worked in the BBC's Editorial Complaints Unit for around a decade, adjudicating on complaints that there had been breaches
@JasonLFC1979 I’m sure no one watching the league would still call him a flop. What’s exciting is that he’s new to the league, didn’t speak English and seems to have bonded well with the team (even if they have to watch his temper) so next season promises even more🙌🏼 #lfc
