Pro Ref chief refereeing officer Howard Webb says VAR Matt Donohue suffered from “tunnel vision” when allowing Erling Haaland’s goal to stand in Manchester City’s 1-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday.

“He gets focused on Haaland, and it’s down to the rest of his team to pull him out of that tunnel, and unfortunately, that didn’t happen on this occasion.”

Of course on-field officials are fallible.

But errors are so much harder to accept from those in the VAR suite.

To spend two-and-a-half minutes studying Erling Haaland's Manchester derby winner so forensically, and then to incorrectly overturn the on-field decision, is embarrassing and alarming for the Premier League.

This is diabolical.

@mattkandela If Arsenal rate Kroupi I am not sure they should resist signing him now just because he is injured, unless it has the hallmarks of a repetitive injury.

[Mark Goldbridge @markgoldbridge]

Come one lads! This is just broad daylight dodgy at this stage. Premier League they are taking the piss. What next? Kalvin Phillips for 150 mil

[Darren @DarrenArsenal1]

Allowed to happen in plain sight.

[GeoffArsenal @GeoffArsenal]

It’s happening again 😂

[Jon @Twenny]

@LeGrove Disagree. Have lost respect for him now. Basically freeloading. Needs to leave.

[Jon @Twenny]

@LeGrove This table also cannot show what would have happened had a team not committed 115 serious financial contraventions, or had payed back their £1.5 billion in debt.

[Darren @DarrenArsenal1]

Same for Chelsea who spent thier previous owners £1b+ of cash which was written off never to be paid back, using illegal funds, loaned to the club. But its ok people they have new owners now, and yet more charges that never seem to get resolved by the authorities

[Darren @DarrenArsenal1]

Guehi will take thier spending to over £500m in 12 months. Nothing really to see here, over £2b since he took charge, which the 115 charges (which they will get off) which wont be resolved for years & years.

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has revealed a bigger-than-expected £20bn hole in public finances, declaring “This is due entirely to the financial incompetence of the last 14 months … sorry, I mean years”

If you hadn’t seen the decision at the time

Which 1 do you think Michael Oliver thought was a straight red and the other just a free kick

Answer on a post card

Funny the #ftse100 is at record highs and we hear that in passing .

If it was at record lows we would hear about it endlessly via #msm

We live on a staple diet served up media of catastrophe and doom , not interested in positive stuff .

[The Athletic @TheAthletic]

West Ham boss David Moyes believes the decision to overturn Maxwel Cornet’s goal in the defeat to Chelsea was “scandalous.”

"Absolutely rotten from one of the supposedly elite referees – it doesn’t say much about whoever sent him over from VAR as well."

@iJohnnyCochrane Have you heard any more on his contract extension Johnny? Some of the red-tops (pinch of salt I know) are saying he has indicated he won’t extend.

[Jon @Twenny]

Not really. It’s always easy to console when you have won. Class is congratulating when you have lost.

[Matt Law @Matt_Law_DT]

Just watched the penalties again...didn't spot it at the time but touch of class from Jordan Henderson to break off from Liverpool celebrations and console Mason Mount.

@BurgerKing74 @HKnumberplates Gotta be the tour bus.

@BurgerKing74 @MrsEdmunds07 @frankieboyle Also on the subject of show interruptions; the Kevin Bridges gig in Reading when a policeman walked in mid-show to arrest someone, and we all thought it was part of the act…nope.
