@@GavMystro LITERALLY NONE DID! Yes we get sometimes small decisions like mid-game fouls, goal-kicks and similar. But all teams do, that's refereeing. But VAR was introduced to see the BIG stuff that decides a game, and we get that against us.

1 week after being on VAR and screwing up the Kluivert challenge against Liverpool, Tierney has been given the match as main official for Liverpool v Chelsea. It’s just unbelievable
He has been in charge of LFC games or VAR every 3 games ..someone needs to pin an excel of games Tierney is in charge of comparing LFC games v others ..
The Spurs game should have been declared void then replayed because of the awful decisions in that game. But we talk about a title race that involves Liverpool, City, Arsenal, Villa & possibly Spurs but there’s another team involved in the race and that’s the PGMOL who are robbing most of the teams except for City.
So you start off complaining about a bad decision against spurs, then go on to conclude city apparently getting no bad calls when they literally had one against spurs, try to be unbiased
@@HaydenTaylor-qs1si It wasn't a bad decision in the Spurs v LFC match... it was a failure of the entire refereeing team to perform their jobs. The Curtis Jones red, was a bad decision, but bad decisions happen. The total and complete failure to officiate the match according to the rules of the game, was a systemic error.
@@TheMercWithMouth I haven't seen the kluivert tackle I don't think, I may need a refresher. But I do agree, it is blatantly inconsistent. Far too blatant for the most watched league in the world
Spot on Mark, I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. The refs have made it about them, protecting their own best interests and helping their mate on the pitch. VAR is there for the ref to use it, to make sure the decision was made. Not for the VAR to re-ref the game. It’s infuriating what they are doing, big decisions being influenced by the current mood of the VAR.
The Diaz one is actually worse than it looks because the ball is on Diaz left leg, legs spread wide apart, and Kluivert goes studs up onto his right leg high, it's an obvious red for me.
They read the rule book out on sky sports concerning the Bowen incident. And how VAR hasn’t told the referee that he’s made a mistake is a joke. An absolute joke! referees and VAR need to give explanations for their decisions after games. Because it’s getting ridiculous
Bowen fouled the defender though, clear as day. That's why it wasn't checked. You have to look at the full phase of play and Bowen grabs the defender first, the foul already happens before they go to ground
@@MeMyselfOhare It was given for a handball, as he was being rugby tackled to the ground, whilst the defender has his back to the ball... so don't try to justify it.
Im a Liverpool fan and the thing that frustrated me the most this past weekend was when that westham player got wrestled to the ground in the box and no penalty given..now that was absolutely madness..
Just a shame that a brilliant competitive season is being overshadowed by VAR. It needs to go if the people running it are incompetent. Football viewers are more competent than these officials!!
FA swallowed the money, now they need to readdress the problem.’VAR out now, it wouldn’t be allowed in any normal workplace after so much incompetence! Joke
yep. fully agree with this one. As a LFC fan we called this out after spurs and everyone told us to stop moaning. but we told you its gonna happen to your team. we dont want special treatment we want the refs to be better and we were rediculed and mocked by almost everyone after 2 days. The only way to improve it and change it is to beat it like a drum and not go away. Make the noise so intense they can't ignore it. All fans must unite against the inadequacy of the pgmol
Let's all go all out supporting this channel! This guy is one of the most passionate die hard fan of FOOTBALL, who genuinely loves the sport and wants these changes to happen for the betterment of our beautiful sport ❤
I think they have done something very clever here because we don’t sit and complain about referees anymore. We complain about the VAR it actually deflecting away from referees and protecting the referees here because all we’re complaining these days about VAR are not about referees. I remember go down to the pub and complaining about a referee made a terrible decision and people were horrible to refs I remember decision being made and referees want to be attacked.
VAR was designed to give Man City the opportunity to win trophies with retrospective decisions and change the course of the game. It is now obvious that City are beneficiaries to all VAR decisions, whether in their games or their rivals games. Luxury watches abundant from Sheikh Mansour.
@Kojo558 they won't get punished. City are too powerful and have a thousand times more resources to throw expensive lawyers to avoid any consequences of cheating.
The problem with VAR, is that the officials in England have their “unique” way of officiating, but when you introduce VAR and technology, they have to mix it up or come with a new way of officiating, and, because they’re either inconsistent or incompetent, it creates what we have today in the Premier League
Maybe managers could get away with saying "Ask Mark Goldbridge" when questioned about decisions that might get them into trouble during a press conference.
Sadly, the people who have the most influence in changing this - the players and managers - will get fined heavily when they speak up against it. The PGMOL is a corrupt mafia of ineptitude.
For anyone who might have missed it check out Forest’s Willy Boly getting sent off against Bournemouth. It kind of went under the radar but it’s one of the most bizarre and almost hilariously bad decisions you’ll ever see if you watch football forever. I don’t believe it’s corruption - it’s just incompetence from people who’ve never played football and don’t really know how it works.
Still waiting for Artetas rant at VAR allowing Arsenals second goal to stand, Ben White is clearly backing into the keeper stopping him moving forward but VAR the same people who dissalowed a United goal when a player is standing next to the keeper but allows a goal when a player is touching the keeper.
Thanks for discussing the Forest incident. It is a disgrace that so many in mainstream media are blaming Forest. It's NOT their job to referee the game. Shocker incoming, it's the referee's job to referee the game. Victim blaming in football terms
The product they give us is football, the consumers are the fans. If the product is not okay us as consumers need a say to take things back to standard.
It happens to every team bro. When it's man city, everyone celebrates and when it's another top 6 team it's the end of football because of the corruption. 😂 Sad fans, sad reality. Jealousy of man city 😂
'Can't believe that you didn't mention the Luis Diaz wrongfully disallowed goal when discussing teams directly affected by VAR idiocy...Liverpool might have won that game instead of losing it - If they lose the title by 2 or 3 points, it will be down to that one decision.
Don’t forget VAR cost Liverpool title before but nobody remembers that… City escaped a penalty against Everton …. I did not forget but nobody talks about it … Liverpool lost the title by a point
Great stuff as usual Mark. Im a Liverpool fan. Paul Tierney is a real issue. If that tackle was a Liverpool player on Kluivert it would have been red. No question. Have a look at the Tomkins report on Paul Tierneys history with LFC, it is astonishing 😱
Arsenal v Liverpool, Odegaard was absolutely raving at the official the whole game, no card, MacAllister throws his hands up once, carded. Officials are a fkn joke in the league atm.
"How is that a red? It's so unfair." "They've stopped giving that as a red? That's so unfair." Honestly, have a word with yourself. I'd agree that Premier League refs aren't good enough, but you just want to be a contrarian for some reason...
Do you trust PGMOL or VAR?.. I guarantee someone gets red again for this kind of tackle, most probably Liverpool again.. It's the inconsistency.. They have to put a standard.. They cannot keep apologizing..
@trapeziumm yh for some reason we have a fetish for only having British refs for some reason... we have the best players and coaches from around the world no idea why we can't do the same with refs.
Again mark i agree with you on everything except for switching VAR off, that solvess nothing and just regresses the progress we've made. Thats like banning all cars because of reckless driving, do you punish the driver or punish the car. The PGMOL and referees should face consequences not the technology thats being misused
Mark, Kompany had his chance to speak up about VAR during the Liverpool disallowed goal at Spurs. Instead he chose to go tribal with the “refs are human they make mistakes”. He wasn’t so philosophical when it was his own team on the wrong end of a decision.

Hi Mark, I agree with you over not changing referee guidelines mid season. We should hear all of the referee and var conversations as they occur, as in Rugby. We should also make var make a definitive decision themselves. The ref can then either then agree or disagree as he/she is the final arbitar during the game. Fans would then know exactly what var thought and what the ref thought, and we would deny them the opportunity to hide behind the 'clear an obvious' debacle.
Make it like Cricket... The Captain or manager gets 4 appeals. has 15 secs to appeal. If he right then the decision is overturned and still has the same number of appeals. If its wrong losses one of the 4 appeals. then its down to a skill...
Excellent video as usual. "Clear and obvious error" is used to judge whether the referee made a mistake given the constraints of his position and view of the action. It is not used to make the objectively correct decision. Despite the criticism this has received from fans, the PGMOL has refused to change this critical aspect of VAR. VAR is a system that was implemented with the express purpose of preventing referee gaffs having a great influence on the match result yet has utterly failed to produce such an effect from week to week. The PGMOL cannot make any reasonable excuse that explains why a system where slow motion, multi-angle replay can be used but cannot prevent the officials making objectively incorrect decisions. Solution: the referee must look at the incidents and/or what the VAR sees must be on the stadium screens for all to see. No one cares that a referee might make a mistake; they're only human and have a largely impossible job. But everyone other than the PGMOL cares about the correct decision being made. It's beyond mystifying.
Let’s now quote Mr Goldbridge “Studs up, gone over the ball… that’s reckless and dangerous and that is a red card every day of the week” ONLY that’s exactly what happened when Curtis Jones nearly broke the leg of Bissouma earlier this season after which Mark said that decision was a travesty of justice and was only worthy of a yellow card. Mark is just as inconsistent as the referee’s.
I've always said the spurs game was a disgrace yes...for the offside. But NOT for the Jones red card, it's a leg breaker and unnecessarily lunges in. I'm obviously in the minority with this one but it's an opinion
CLARIFICATION!!! VAR it is technology it's the PGMOL operating it that are the numptys messing it up on the field and in the operations room . Please clarify this point
As far as I know with regards to the studs up tackle FIFA & UEFA stipulate it's a Red Card offence in both European games and World Cup games, VAR whilst a good idea and it was needed and we were all calling for something before it came in as turned into a joke but only in this country !!!!!! in Europe they rarely have a problem with it. Last year whilst on holiday in Pulgia I went to watch Lecce play AC Milan at home VAR no problem. Why is it so difficult in this country to implement properly ??????? Excellent Video Mark.
I'm surprised that anyone expected that putting technology in the hands of the same officials who were incompetent before it was introduced would lead to anything other than where we are now. VAR should be operated by people who know the rules of football, but are not refereeing games themselves, so there is no 'protecting my mate' aspect to it. The other thing that needs to change is the assumption that the ref's original decision was right, as this is what is causing the inconsistency.
In an offside situation they can go to the tape, draw a fkn line, catch a player being an inch or less offside (or on) and then call it a “clear and obvious” error. How tf is that clear and obvious?! They’re not even consistent with what that terminology means.
Thanks Mark, i thought it was just me that thought Tony was cheating, i understand moving the ball to miss the foam, but to move the ball then the foam then the ball again, that was CHEATING!. Then ref watch condones it & say it's innovative. At least you call it as is. Keep up the good work!

VAR did notice that Toney moved the ball and the spray but they're saying they can't interfere in yellow card offenses and it was the sideline or 4th referee's job to catch that, it's pitiful really.
1 week after being on VAR and screwing up the Kluivert challenge against Liverpool, Tierney has been given the match as main official for Liverpool v Chelsea. It’s just unbelievable
He has been in charge of LFC games or VAR every 3 games ..someone needs to pin an excel of games Tierney is in charge of comparing LFC games v others ..
The Spurs game should have been declared void then replayed because of the awful decisions in that game. But we talk about a title race that involves Liverpool, City, Arsenal, Villa & possibly Spurs but there’s another team involved in the race and that’s the PGMOL who are robbing most of the teams except for City.
So you start off complaining about a bad decision against spurs, then go on to conclude city apparently getting no bad calls when they literally had one against spurs, try to be unbiased
@@HaydenTaylor-qs1si It wasn't a bad decision in the Spurs v LFC match... it was a failure of the entire refereeing team to perform their jobs.
The Curtis Jones red, was a bad decision, but bad decisions happen. The total and complete failure to officiate the match according to the rules of the game, was a systemic error.
Liverpool main problem ( enemy) is Var , Ref & PGMOL !!!
Because they don't benefit from it right?
@@Chr15Paynethe problem is the blatant inconsistencies from pgmol.
You believe kluivert tackle was ok?
@@TheMercWithMouth I haven't seen the kluivert tackle I don't think, I may need a refresher. But I do agree, it is blatantly inconsistent. Far too blatant for the most watched league in the world
Spot on Mark, I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. The refs have made it about them, protecting their own best interests and helping their mate on the pitch.
VAR is there for the ref to use it, to make sure the decision was made. Not for the VAR to re-ref the game. It’s infuriating what they are doing, big decisions being influenced by the current mood of the VAR.
We have the best league but arguably the worst officials
Its not evan arguably though is it we definitely do have the worse officials

In a world where African football dosent exist I’m sure we do have the worst officials in the world🤣
@@loveisdevine11 Does it really? I wouldn't know don't watch it
The Diaz one is actually worse than it looks because the ball is on Diaz left leg, legs spread wide apart, and Kluivert goes studs up onto his right leg high, it's an obvious red for me.
Mark your description about PGMOL taking our (the fan's) power from the equation is absolutely bang on. Well put.
They read the rule book out on sky sports concerning the Bowen incident. And how VAR hasn’t told the referee that he’s made a mistake is a joke. An absolute joke! referees and VAR need to give explanations for their decisions after games. Because it’s getting ridiculous
The worst thing about that one is that it didn’t even get checked . Really really pissed me off
Bowen fouled the defender though, clear as day. That's why it wasn't checked. You have to look at the full phase of play and Bowen grabs the defender first, the foul already happens before they go to ground
@@MeMyselfOhare he didn’t give a foul, he gave handball. It wasn’t a foul
@@jlockers52 potentially, but if there was a foul it was committed by Bowen before Anel
@@MeMyselfOhare It was given for a handball, as he was being rugby tackled to the ground, whilst the defender has his back to the ball... so don't try to justify it.
Everyone running VAR hasn't 'played the game'
It's amazing that, after Curtis Jones having been sent off (after a VAR check), the Kluivert tackle wasn't treated the same.
Paul Tierney that why

THANK YOU MARK! I WISH THIS WOULD BE SPOKEN ABOUT OFFICIALLY
Im a Liverpool fan and the thing that frustrated me the most this past weekend was when that westham player got wrestled to the ground in the box and no penalty given..now that was absolutely madness..
Just a shame that a brilliant competitive season is being overshadowed by VAR. It needs to go if the people running it are incompetent. Football viewers are more competent than these officials!!
League table:
1. PGMOL
2. Man City
3. Liverpool
4. Arsenal

yep. fully agree with this one. As a LFC fan we called this out after spurs and everyone told us to stop moaning. but we told you its gonna happen to your team. we dont want special treatment we want the refs to be better and we were rediculed and mocked by almost everyone after 2 days. The only way to improve it and change it is to beat it like a drum and not go away. Make the noise so intense they can't ignore it. All fans must unite against the inadequacy of the pgmol
Thank you for speaking up for the clubs who aren’t in the top 6 dealing with this issue

I listen to every podcast episode during my breaks at college, they are the highlight of Tuesdays and Fridays for me. Love all your work mark
I think they have done something very clever here because we don’t sit and complain about referees anymore. We complain about the VAR it actually deflecting away from referees and protecting the referees here because all we’re complaining these days about VAR are not about referees. I remember go down to the pub and complaining about a referee made a terrible decision and people were horrible to refs I remember decision being made and referees want to be attacked.
VAR was designed to give Man City the opportunity to win trophies with retrospective decisions and change the course of the game. It is now obvious that City are beneficiaries to all VAR decisions, whether in their games or their rivals games. Luxury watches abundant from Sheikh Mansour.
Really the same league that want city relegated. Which one is it😅
@Kojo558 they won't get punished. City are too powerful and have a thousand times more resources to throw expensive lawyers to avoid any consequences of cheating.
@@neilfitzsimmons1800100% we have Paul Tierney every single game
I thought the league wants city out as well 😂 why give them more titles
@@sduduzogcaba5086 rivals want punishment not Manchester refs they support city
The problem with VAR, is that the officials in England have their “unique” way of officiating, but when you introduce VAR and technology, they have to mix it up or come with a new way of officiating, and, because they’re either inconsistent or incompetent, it creates what we have today in the Premier League
I know people don't like City but they have lost two players injured, because they won't put the offside flag up....
Exactly
Maybe managers could get away with saying "Ask Mark Goldbridge" when questioned about decisions that might get them into trouble during a press conference.
Sadly, the people who have the most influence in changing this - the players and managers - will get fined heavily when they speak up against it. The PGMOL is a corrupt mafia of ineptitude.
For anyone who might have missed it check out Forest’s Willy Boly getting sent off against Bournemouth. It kind of went under the radar but it’s one of the most bizarre and almost hilariously bad decisions you’ll ever see if you watch football forever. I don’t believe it’s corruption - it’s just incompetence from people who’ve never played football and don’t really know how it works.
Still waiting for Artetas rant at VAR allowing Arsenals second goal to stand, Ben White is clearly backing into the keeper stopping him moving forward but VAR the same people who dissalowed a United goal when a player is standing next to the keeper but allows a goal when a player is touching the keeper.
I think every decision should be the referee's. VAR should refer the ref to the screen to analyze incidents and it should be he's decision alone.
Thanks for discussing the Forest incident. It is a disgrace that so many in mainstream media are blaming Forest. It's NOT their job to referee the game. Shocker incoming, it's the referee's job to referee the game. Victim blaming in football terms
We looked into ourselves and determined we didnt do anything wrong. Also our people are great and your own eyes are wrong.

If Liverpool lose the league by a point again the PGMOL will be catching a lawsuit I imagine.
'Can't believe that you didn't mention the Luis Diaz wrongfully disallowed goal when discussing teams directly affected by VAR idiocy...Liverpool might have won that game instead of losing it - If they lose the title by 2 or 3 points, it will be down to that one decision.
No one will remember this or care about circumstances unfortunately. They'll only remember the winner.

Great stuff as usual Mark. Im a Liverpool fan. Paul Tierney is a real issue. If that tackle was a Liverpool player on Kluivert it would have been red. No question. Have a look at the Tomkins report on Paul Tierneys history with LFC, it is astonishing 😱
If Alan partridge joined the police got married, had a few kids, quit the police force and started a UA-cam channel😅
~Mark goldbridge~
Arsenal v Liverpool, Odegaard was absolutely raving at the official the whole game, no card, MacAllister throws his hands up once, carded. Officials are a fkn joke in the league atm.
var must go
The refs have to go....
Var going will not improve anything, it will even make things worse. But we need the refs to actually do their job
We have to hear the conversation
"How is that a red? It's so unfair."
"They've stopped giving that as a red? That's so unfair."
Honestly, have a word with yourself. I'd agree that Premier League refs aren't good enough, but you just want to be a contrarian for some reason...
How about the refs just do their jobs properly? In any other job you if you do it poorly, you get the sack pretty obvious.
All we want is consistency with the refereeing
@@dylanwyatt-brown3624nah it's brits doing VAR poorly, they should replace the premier league referee to another league, they're doing fine.
Do you trust PGMOL or VAR?.. I guarantee someone gets red again for this kind of tackle, most probably Liverpool again.. It's the inconsistency.. They have to put a standard..
They cannot keep apologizing..
@trapeziumm yh for some reason we have a fetish for only having British refs for some reason... we have the best players and coaches from around the world no idea why we can't do the same with refs.
Again mark i agree with you on everything except for switching VAR off, that solvess nothing and just regresses the progress we've made. Thats like banning all cars because of reckless driving, do you punish the driver or punish the car. The PGMOL and referees should face consequences not the technology thats being misused
As an American I only watch your videos for how you say the word 'World'. LOVE IT!
Maybe as an American you should apply for a "PASSPORT" (Google it) and go instead of trying to invade the 'World' go out to visit and explore it...
I love how mark is calling out everything,Even for Every club.
Paul Tomkins has a new article out since yesterday. Excellent read.
Mark, Kompany had his chance to speak up about VAR during the Liverpool disallowed goal at Spurs. Instead he chose to go tribal with the “refs are human they make mistakes”. He wasn’t so philosophical when it was his own team on the wrong end of a decision.

Made with HARPA AI
Hi Mark, I agree with you over not changing referee guidelines mid season.
We should hear all of the referee and var conversations as they occur, as in Rugby. We should also make var make a definitive decision themselves. The ref can then either then agree or disagree as he/she is the final arbitar during the game. Fans would then know exactly what var thought and what the ref thought, and we would deny them the opportunity to hide behind the 'clear an obvious' debacle.
Make it like Cricket... The Captain or manager gets 4 appeals. has 15 secs to appeal. If he right then the decision is overturned and still has the same number of appeals. If its wrong losses one of the 4 appeals. then its down to a skill...
Excellent video as usual. "Clear and obvious error" is used to judge whether the referee made a mistake given the constraints of his position and view of the action. It is not used to make the objectively correct decision. Despite the criticism this has received from fans, the PGMOL has refused to change this critical aspect of VAR. VAR is a system that was implemented with the express purpose of preventing referee gaffs having a great influence on the match result yet has utterly failed to produce such an effect from week to week. The PGMOL cannot make any reasonable excuse that explains why a system where slow motion, multi-angle replay can be used but cannot prevent the officials making objectively incorrect decisions. Solution: the referee must look at the incidents and/or what the VAR sees must be on the stadium screens for all to see. No one cares that a referee might make a mistake; they're only human and have a largely impossible job. But everyone other than the PGMOL cares about the correct decision being made. It's beyond mystifying.
Let’s now quote Mr Goldbridge “Studs up, gone over the ball… that’s reckless and dangerous and that is a red card every day of the week” ONLY that’s exactly what happened when Curtis Jones nearly broke the leg of Bissouma earlier this season after which Mark said that decision was a travesty of justice and was only worthy of a yellow card. Mark is just as inconsistent as the referee’s.
I've always said the spurs game was a disgrace yes...for the offside. But NOT for the Jones red card, it's a leg breaker and unnecessarily lunges in. I'm obviously in the minority with this one but it's an opinion
CLARIFICATION!!! VAR it is technology it's the PGMOL operating it that are the numptys messing it up on the field and in the operations room . Please clarify this point
Problem is that there are so much these bad decisions that effected end results and points that enirety of PL INTEGRITY IS QUESTIONABLE
Good video they need to get rid of the corrupt referees and VAR
That's actually very true I have no idea what is and what isn't a penalty these days!
As far as I know with regards to the studs up tackle FIFA & UEFA stipulate it's a Red Card offence in both European games and World Cup games, VAR whilst a good idea and it was needed and we were all calling for something before it came in as turned into a joke but only in this country !!!!!! in Europe they rarely have a problem with it. Last year whilst on holiday in Pulgia I went to watch Lecce play AC Milan at home VAR no problem. Why is it so difficult in this country to implement properly ??????? Excellent Video Mark.
Just 5th video about VAR this week. Keep it up Mark great content!
Well said at the end. Var should fix the referees errors instead of covering them. We can deal with live mistakes but not a var team ignoring them
Thanks for the detailed analysis. I still think some of the officials are corrupted and you know who they are....
Well said Mark. The corruption now in are game is frightening. How did refs get so much power?
I’m actually now just fed up hearing about Refs and VAR now.
Goldbridge vs Gary
In the gold corner we have goldbridge the man for the fans.
In the ref corner we have Gary the man of the PGMOL
I'm surprised that anyone expected that putting technology in the hands of the same officials who were incompetent before it was introduced would lead to anything other than where we are now. VAR should be operated by people who know the rules of football, but are not refereeing games themselves, so there is no 'protecting my mate' aspect to it. The other thing that needs to change is the assumption that the ref's original decision was right, as this is what is causing the inconsistency.
NFL says “hold my beer”!,
NFL is scripted
In an offside situation they can go to the tape, draw a fkn line, catch a player being an inch or less offside (or on) and then call it a “clear and obvious” error. How tf is that clear and obvious?! They’re not even consistent with what that terminology means.
Thanks Mark, i thought it was just me that thought Tony was cheating, i understand moving the ball to miss the foam, but to move the ball then the foam then the ball again, that was CHEATING!. Then ref watch condones it & say it's innovative. At least you call it as is. Keep up the good work!
Totally agree with everything said by Mark.
Its a common problem, keep it up man!! Bst rgrds form Norway
And yet again Paul Tierney is ref for LFC match. They are just pissing with everybody apart of City. :D
