This is why it’s so hard to get fans onboard with putting pressure on refs. You get pissed when it happens to you and laugh when it’s someone else. It’s what happened with Liverpool. It’s what happened with us. And it’s what you’re doing with Newcastle right now. Things aren’t going to change if the pressure isn’t coming from all sides for the same decision. Like it or not public opinion plays a huge role in how the PGMOL responds to certain decisions. That’s why they responded the way they did against us.

This is honestly one of the things I dislike most about VAR controversies. It can never stick to just criticizing the people that made the error. It always turns into so and so teams have bought the refs.
