Salah's second goal yesterday should probably win goal of the season.  Simply breathtaking.

West Ham corner to Liverpool goal in under 15 seconds?

Love 'em or hate 'em, you have to admit that was top quality counter-attacking.

That's the assistant VAR's job

That VAR decision that ruled out Saints goal was appalling. Got to be given that makes it a farce. and Mike Dean is an utter cunt he really does think its all about him cant fucking stand him. and hes a shit referee.

Probably earliest in a game but how long was Stevie Gerrard on the pitch as a sub before getting sent off?  I don't think he even touched the ball.

After a quick Google the fastest was Keith Gillespie at 12 seconds. 

Gerrard is 3rd or 4th on 38 seconds.

The penalty rules seem to be matching the offside ones for being increasingly bizarre.  Add those to how VAR is being used and I'm beginning to think football needs a complete reset at the moment.

 These var decisions for offside; I don't have a problem with. The technology is consistent, harsh at times but it is applied equitably, with software. Managers and fans were asking for consistency because linesmen were getting decisions wrong.

The use of var on penalties, and the application of the sending off rules becomes subjective though. A couple of red cards last night were ridiculous. Give the penalty by all means but the rules are bollocks.

Need to have a roll call to make sure some of our posters didn't actually wank themselves to death last night.

They should have a pink text name on here

VAR is not fit for purpose.

It was introduced to eliminate/over-rule clear and obvious errors.
It wasn't introduced to referee games to the minutest degree that cannot be seen by the human eye.
