I thought it was just us that got shit refs/VAR?

I haven't figured it out yet but there must be some secret plan to this decision.

Just the one, I believe.

Only one for DOGSO so misses the Sunderland match midweek. He does seem to be their best attacking player though so.....

Maybe it’s more for a professional foul on City115

Can't ever remember a match ending like that, but the result is what we wanted.

I didn't watch the game. Did the Kop applaud the winning team off the pitch at the end?

There was no shit ref/VAR. Correct decision was given, and people who think they should have just ignored the rules because "reasons" are unhappy about it.

Yes.

technically all correct - but it spoils the entertainment.

 Entertainment is a byproduct of the game of football which is played to specific rules. Had Haaland not reciprocated with shirt pulling the same outcome would have been arrived at.

I watched the 1-2 win for us in 93 from the Kop.

They clapped Spink when he came to the Kop first half.

Then we outplayed them and won. Spink clapped them from half way line at the end and they booed!

Everyone moans about VAR but I can guarantee if they got rid of it, everyone would be moaning even harder every time the officials got something wrong, and people would be opining "but VAR would have corrected that awful decision!"

We'd be calling for its return within a week.

Well I’m glad he’s suspended but I don’t think Haaland needed to pull his shirt there. It would have gone in anyway.
