Because by the letter of the law, they did everything right.

Yet people are coming out, even our own Mark Ogden has come out and said, ridiculous far decision, just let the goal stand, two fouls and the ball ends up in the back of the net.

A bunch of journalists in the UK, not just Oggy.

People that I thought would have a lot more sense.

Now, that's...

At that point, does Haaland go and put it in without fouling?

It's fine.

So that's the red card offence, if there's not another offence, which there was.

Now, he fouls him here, so the goal can't stand.

The goal cannot stand.

And for those that say... When I was watching it, I said, he's got to pull that back for the red card on Sabozlai and give a free kick, because you can't foul somebody that's potentially going to clear the ball.

And the other point is for those that say, no, this is the spirit of the game and the VR and whatnot.

You can't just give a goal because at that point, the game was 2-1.

And even if there was 15 or 20 seconds left, which there was, had Ryan Cherky, who blasted the ball over the bar with a free kick, had he turned round,

with a free kick and tried to play Sam Smart back the way and giving it away, within five or 10 seconds Liverpool could have scored an equaliser.

So you can't just go, oh, I'll allow the goal because that's the spirit of the game when the game technically was still in the balance.

So they were absolutely spot on.

And I just don't understand the killing of the game.

And they're blaming VAR for this, most people.

Pep and Slot both said the goal should have stood.
