This is Michael Oliver on VAR being Michael Oliver VAR.

He’s the biggest “umm actually” ref in the league.

Look at that time he gave Martinelli two yellows from the same passage of play. He loves to enforce interpretations of the rules that are technically correct but almost never enforced.

Wish we had this ref in our last game.

So we do have a separate rule book for city…

Let AI do the var the refs are fucking morons

Erling Haaland’s success in converting the penalty underscores his status as one of the most sought-after strikers in world football. His ability to score from a variety of situations, including penalties, adds to his market value and reputation.

So the referee can stop the game even if the ball is in play to check the monitor and make a decision? Huh, funny how it benefits City to get a soft as fuck penalty, whereas a completely legitimate Liverpool goal is… “can’t do anything”

The saudis must’ve called Michael Oliver right before that

Sterling literally gets shoved to the floor by a defender nowhere near the ball: No penalty

Hojlund doesn’t defend with his hands in his pockets: Penalty?

Lol, so inconsistent, you could call 5 pens a game this way

Nice dive by Rodri, knew he wasn’t going to be anywhere near that cross

tbh I agree it’s a penalty. but they should always be called, not just sometimes. hope it doesn’t kill the game, it’s been good so far.

In before PGMOL apologizes for the Man City penalty.

The fuck was that penalty?

Literally couldn’t tell who the foul was called on during the replay

Ange is 60mins of football away from winning Manager of the Month for the third time in a row
