Football

Phenomenal stuff, even by their own extremely self-entitled standards.

It's not quite the same tho, is it? There's human error on a subjective decision, and then there's a shambolic miscommunication during which VAR clearly reached the correct decision but somehow didn't manage to convey that to the referee. You could maybe draw parallels with the goal that was disallowed a few seasons back because the goal line technology malfunctioned, but that's an electrical failure rather than human, which is harder to swallow I think.

He doesn't really ask for a replay, he acknowledges that it's not going to happen and I'd suggest is taking that line because he knows it will get headlines and apply pressure to the powers that be in ways that him just ranting won't achieve.

All of this 'self-entitled'/'always the victims'/worst fans business, I just don't get. I'm not on twitter, which I guess might explain it. It certainly doesn't chime with the experiences I've had at many live matches and countless in the pub. It does have some unpleasant echoes to me of the vile post-Hillsborough stuff that went around but I'm sure that's not how anyone intends it.
