@JacobsBen Via the Pep Guardiola flyover on the Pep Guardiola mosaic that leads to the Pep Guardiola £6 drop off area

Bad enough to leave him out, but to cut him like a fish and then electrocute him too

The card everyone's after

Said this before - Put 3 to 5 individuals (ex-refs & ex-players) in separate VAR rooms and let them decide the outcome. They have 40 secs to decide the outcome of said act. Majority vote. Always going to be human error but this would be a better solution than Referee Club #VAR

[Rory Jennings ⭐ ⭐ @Chelsearory]

Clear as day how desperate they were to overturn it. 10 minutes and 100 angles to find something that is apparently ‘clear and obvious.’

Anyone who still backs the idea of VAR in football is an enemy of the game.

Cost of sacking Liam Rosenior: £24m

Cost of buying Sheffield Wednesday: £20m

When sacking a manager costs more than a club in the Championship, it's probably time to start addressing those financial oblivion questions in football.

Dermot Gallagher is a perfect illustration of the problem with VAR. Once a referee is sent to the monitor it’s immediately suggestive and completely prejudices the decision. That referee will immediately feel pressure to agree with his colleagues who sent him there. A human being in that situation is far more likely to agree with his colleagues even if they’re wrong than to disagree with them and risk being the only one wrong. Every week we hear Dermot Gallagher absurdly contradict himself because he’s not interested in what’s right, he’s interested in who’s right.

💥BREAKING: The StGeorge Illawarra Dragons board have taken the extraordinary step of asking the players if any of their dads could help out as coach this weekend.

Who’s bringing the oranges will be announced after a scheduled board meeting later this week.

[Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove @RepKamlagerDove]

So far, FIFA has:

- Overcharged fans for tickets with sky-high prices driven by dynamic pricing;
- Allegedly gave fans tickets in worse seats than what they paid for; and
- Refused to help host cities and states with transit and security costs, causing NJ Transit to charge fans more than $100 for a train from NYC to MetLife that is normally $12.90

If FIFA can give Trump a made-up peace prize, they can make the World Cup successful and accessible. The festivities should be about the fans and the beautiful game—not FIFA's profits.

[Pauly Kwestel @pkwestel]

United starting two guys who offer you nothing on the ball and on top of that are questionable defensively
Starting another who offers nothing outside of one small area on the pitch

Goals coming from individual mistakes but this team was never going to be able to attack

A magnificent "Rabona goal" in the Moroccan League. 🇲🇦

He will undoubtedly be a strong candidate for the Puskas Award. 🏆

[Danny Baker @prodnose]

VAR is no good. It's just not.
It doesn't need tweaking or resetting - it's just no good for football.
Referees make bad errors every now and but so does this billion pound tech overlord bullshit.
What have we gained? Nothing.
What have we lost? Live football.

[Kaustubh Pandey @Kaus_Pandey17]

That United performance is all their issues in a nutshell.

No natural width, no one can who dictate deep in midfield, failure to break down the lock block and overreliance on Bruno. So much work to do in the summer and issues are obvious.
