But VAR (correctly) ruled that goal out whilst not intervening on a number of other similar goals (many for Arsenal) throughout the season.

VAR has not solved the inconsistency issue. (I actually like inconsistency in football - referees should be encouraged to officiate games depending on the tone of the game and the behaviour of the players)
CW, I dislike VAR with a passion. I so preferred the days where fans could argue that the decision was right or wrong, that applied right down to grassroots. You could say the ref was crooked and for evermore debate the decision. The great thing for me is that the EFL currently have that model and the debates continue. Fans celebrate, or berate officials in real-time moments of agony or jubilation and the game goes on. You win some and lose some, but I'm so glad a finger or toenail decides our matches and don't have to wait minutes to celebrate again, or hear that song, "you thought you had scored, you were wrong, you were wrong"

Bottom line is there has to be an implied notion that the officials are honest, they are human, make mistakes and sometimes are just pure brilliant at sometimes getting a decision right that on a TV screen at 10pm you see the incident and think wow, great reffing.
I’m not a fan of VAR but clearly the ref didn’t see the big incident at the end of the Westham game so without that the title would be heading to Man City

Just seen that in an amazing and unexpected career change Jedward now play in goal for Bristol Rovers.

Agreed CW & OI that was the point I was making saying that VAR has solved nothing and just added more problems - watching Wimbledon back in the 90s involved so many dodgy decisions going against us particularly against the big clubs/expected champions. Those things still happen but now we get to watch and listen to them happen in the VAR booth as well and every goal is forensically dissected to see if it can be disallowed.
Of course it was never a penalty in the 1988 Cup Final.

They always used to say back in the day that Juventus would get a dodgy penalty to win the vital game, remember Liam Brady scoring a late penalty one year to do just this

Trig - the commentators celebrate them as they're getting a bit nervy that Celtic and Citeh won't win their respective leagues

Football is broken. I’m gonna stop watching Sky Sports because these decisions keep happening and the commentators celebrate them. VAR has destroyed the integrity of the top flight. It hasn’t solved a problem that didn’t need solving and has introduced a new problem of people miles away from the stadium pouring over every incident to see if they can change the outcome.

Independent football regulator already conflicted so will be as much use as expected.
Trigg - exactly, but they really don’t want anyone else to win the title other than the usual pair 🙄

So as things stand (hearts have scored a 3rd goal but I don’t think it changes anything) Celtic will need to win by 3 clear goals on Saturday to snatch the title.

Reading the BBC report on Southampton and Middlesborough it is going to end up costing us money because the EFL will get taken to court and settle before trial using the money of the 72 clubs whatever their decision. I'd leave Southampton in as the settlement with them would be much higher.

Looks like you’re getting your way Aideen. Celtic certainly hitting form at the right time.
