9 minutes?! That's all because VAR are idiots and just stared at a video screen.

The only explanation for this is that these people would disprove the administration’s narrative about the identity of the people we are murdering. I’m a little surprised they didn’t just straight-up murder these two in custody. That’s who the government is now.

Breaking News: The Trump administration has decided to repatriate two survivors of a deadly U.S. strike this week on suspected drug runners in the Caribbean Sea rather than prosecute them or hold them in military detention, people with knowledge of the matter said on Saturday.

U.S. to Repatriate Survivors of Its Strike on Suspected Drug Vessel

The U.S. military rescued the two men in the Caribbean Sea after Special Operations forces fired on a semi-submersible that was assessed to be smuggling drugs.

VAR should exist, basically, to protect the referee from people watching *live* at home. It should not exist to protect the referee from “we have rewound and slowed it down five times on Match of the Day”.

The take I’m gradually progressing towards is:

Video review bad

Automated calling of goals in association football/marking the ball in American football/balls and strikes in baseball good

"defender makes a challenge and plays the ball, therefore no foul"

HOW THE FUCK DO THE FUCKING REFEREES NOT KNOW THE LAWS OF THE GAME?

THERE IS NO FUCKING LAW THAT SAYS YOU CANNOT COMMIT A FOUL IF YOU TOUCH THE BALL.

This is why people hate the refs and PGMOL this season. If getting the ball nullifies contact then that should be the rule across the board, through the season. But it hasn't been.

I was told it doesn't matter if the defender gets the ball. So which is it???

When you're playing pretty rubbish football, it really helps no end to be able to just drop a corner on the head of the best dead ball attacker in the league

Watch the replay again and look for how fired up Gabriel was about getting the flick that led to the goal.

Dude was AMPED, as he should be.

That's a penalty. The only reason it isn't is because Gyokeres tried to stay on his feet.

And that's why players don't.

Started early on the bourbon. Please do something Arsenal. Something good! A goal! For us, not them. (Felt like I had to clarify or else I'd monkey paw this thing)

I put the NWSL game in multiview with the Arsenal men's game and Orlando immediately scored on the Spirit. I'm so sorry. I did this. 😬

Ooh, Spirit goal! Yay!
