@British_Airways Flight was delayed into the next day and still couldn’t get a stand at LHR. Had to wait 30 mins for buses and missed connection by 5 mins 👍

[Matthew Cross @crossy16]

Easily the worst flying experience I’ve had - @British_Airways how to compound mistakes with more mistakes 🤦🏻‍♂️🤯

[Matthew Cross @crossy16]

@British_Airways What’s the point? Already missed a connecting flight and over 24 hour delay getting home. Sat in Bahamas airport for 3 hours with no access to food or water. Couldn’t hold my connecting flight 5 minutes - what you going to do now?

Liverpool gonna end up with more PGMOL apologies than Man City have FFP charges 😂😂

[Sky Sports Premier League @SkySportsPL]

PGMOL chief Howard Webb talks through VAR's decision to not award Liverpool a penalty for a possible handball against Arsenal's Martin Odegaard 👇

[Neil @BurpleMan]

Liverpool 3pts clear after 20 games, only lost once this season due to a VAR error, have the least goals conceded with the most red cards received but your Da thinks they’re only top because Jota dived when they were 3-2 up in a game they had 34 shots & the highest xG on record.

[Matthew Cross @crossy16]

@markwatt123 Cheers Watty 👍

[Watch LFC @Watch_LFC]

To summarise:

1) Curtis Jones sent off for a harsh red card. Still image makes it look worse.

2) Minutes later Liverpool take the lead but it’s wrongly disallowed for offside. VAR quickly rules it out, doesn’t use lines to check.

3) Salah flagged for a foul on Bissouma for basically nothing. If the ref doesn’t blow Salah is in the box and could create a big goal scoring opportunity.

4) Spurs get a corner when the ball clearly comes off Kulusevski.

5) Jota booked because Udogie trips himself. He then (stupidly) makes a rash challenge which gets him a second yellow.

6) Before Jota’s second yellow Udogie asks the ref to give Jota a second yellow for a minor foul. He doesn’t get booked even though asking for a yellow is now a bookable offence.

7) Robertson and Peter Krawietz booked for complaining about a foul on Robertson.

8) Bissouma gets a yellow for putting a hand in Wataru’s face. A hand in the face should be a red card.

9) In general, Simon Hooper made a number of decisions which went against Liverpool’s flow in the game. Not being given advantage when we should have, pulling up players for fouls which were incredibly soft.

Make that another week of talking about VAR not football 😂
