What the hell is going on right now? You have Liverpool threatening to sue, clips of people talking about it on Good Morning Britain, comedians like Omid Djalili calling for a replay. So many opinions on this as if something catastrophic has taken place. Referees are human. They make mistakes. VAR is managed by humans, who make mistakes. Big feckin' deal. So many fans are coming forward with conspiracy ideas yet from what I can see, the ref himself had an impeccable game. Every single decision HE made was correct. It WAS a red in both instances. I don't care what anyone says. The only real talking point is the offside but big feckin' deal. They've chalked off a perfectly good goal. What about the countless penalties given and not given on the strength of poor decision making? What about the fall out from those? What about the 'goal' that was chalked off between Palace and Villa a couple of years back that had clearly crossed the line? Did anyone call for an inquiry then?
Humans make mistakes. The VAR thought a goal had been given so said "yep, we're all good". The game kicked off and only then did he realise it was chalked off. It happens. Big feckin' deal. Maybe we should think about replaying the CL final given the whole game swung on that contentious Sissoko 'handball'. Or maybe we should replay the famous game between Leeds and West Brom in 1971. Pizz off!!!!
Is the offside such a scandal?

The only two decisions that the ref got wrong at the weekend were the offside goal being disallowed when the player was onside, and the ref giving Liverpool a freekick, which lead to the Liverpool goal, when it clearly was not a foul.
So taking both those decisions into account if the correct decision by the ref had been made then the score would have been Spurs 2 Liverpool 1.

Yep, amazing how all these Saltypudlians conveniently ignore the ridiculous free kick awarded just before Gakpo scored, and the yellow card Jota should of had before he was booked for the first time and the second yellow that MacAllister was let off with.
Their fans are all the same, they have a victim complex and can not process the fact that just as many incorrect decisions went their way as ours on the day, which is not always the case as usually all the decisions will go Varpool`s way.
They are so used to being dragged to results through `benefit of doubt officiating` that on the extremely rare occasions the officials don`t bend over for them, they all cry like a spoiled child who can`t get its own way.
Varpool are a pathetic football club with an obnoxious zoon of a manager.

Sandy's arithmetic may be one way to look at the "offside goal" problem.
Actually it might not have been a bad decision anyway because it all depends upon WHEN the ball was kicked. The Video replays don't show that with any accuracy at all. You have to judge when that pass to Diaz was actually kicked and when Romero's leg stuck out. Did Romero stick his leg out AFTER the ball was kicked?
Obviously the linesman thought not.
So the on-field call of the linesman may well have been correct.
Anyways, all these clowns from Liverpool should just stop their whining. All clubs get bad calls, IF it was a bad call!!

I don't understand the reactants from some Spurs fans. It's not like the 3 points will be taken from them. They did nothing wrong by taking the 3 points. Not their fault at all but the way they're inventing excuses ad engaging in whataboutery is very pathetic.
Doesn't matter when the ball was kicked, what matters is what VAR actually based their decision on, which was nothing.

Of course it matters when the ball was kicked.
Read the off-side rule!

The game is done and dusted. Can't change the result or rewrite history.
Just like you can't rewrite the fact that since 2010, Wigan, Swansea and Birmingham have all been more successful. One of those things I guess 🤷♂️

It doesn't matter now because that's not why the goal wasn't given. The check was apparently completed and the goal was good according to VAR, it's the mix up that they claim facked them.

You really don't understand the off-side rule do you?
If VAR checked and said the goal was good, then they took the timing of when the ball was kicked to Diaz into that judgement.

Exactly. So for Spurs fans to go back and start arguing otherwise is pathetic excuses and whataboutery. Fact is VAR thought it was onside.
