So you get wrong calls like the foul given in TOT-ARS, not given in FUL-TOT, and the multiple penalties not given today in ARS-CHE that materially affect the outcomes of games and league standings. Keep automated offside, bin everything else 2/2

VAR is useless in a sport with no objectively correct reffing decisions. The problem has long been that some clubs get the subjective calls on the field in their favour. The system as it is provides no way to change those decisions. 1/2

Over €700m spent (gross) since the summer of 2023 and the technical quality of this team is disgusting. Fucking disgusting.

We bought Gallagher for his running and the guy simply does not run forward with the ball when he gets for us. Awful signing. #COYS #THFC
