VAR Again

[monmouth]

Yep, I was there, 2 dodgy pens 100%

First one dodgy? How many pints had you had?

I was at that game. Terry McDermott scored them both. That was the game where Tosh wore his Liverpool #9 shirt because Shankley had died a few days earlier. We were packed in so tight, I couldn't move or barely breathe.

Number 10. Shanks had died in the week and some arsehole started singing ‘Shankly’s dead’ during the minute of silence. Walking back through the park was bloody scary. I also remember being squeezed but not realising the danger.

First one was fair enough, second one was a massive dive. I was there too, quite an experience, almost surreal considering where we'd been just two or three years previously.

My recollection of the minute's silence was someone shouting "burn the bastard" Aye, we had some nice fans in those days. being squashed in that densely was scary, you can see now how a Hillsborough could easily happen in those days.

When a goal was scored, the whole crowd used to rush forward about twenty feet in one solid masse. You had no choice, you just went. If you were unlucky, you'd leave your shoes behind.

I heard the VAR crew are on an open bus tour around Stockley Park. Their first league title, but they expect to win many more.

Like I said in another thread, get rid of this ‘ball to hand’ bollocks. Takes away a huge grey area. I doubt people will start to aim for hands and even if they did, defenders would start to put their hands behind their back as they already do anyway.

Luis Suarez often used the tactic of chipping a ball into a player's hands at his sides and claiming for penalties
