Liverpool have responded with strength and determination as they fight back against the VAR injustice at the weekend against Tottenham. Mark Goldbridge reacts to the latest football news
As a Liverpool fan, I have massive respect for someone like Mark who puts aside the rivalry between clubs to speak the truth and strives for the game to be fair. That's the true spirit of sportsmanship.
What integrity is there in the game when the PGMOL allows Darren England to be "working" in the UAE two days before he is to man the VAR for UAE owned Man City's biggest rivals for this year's title? How much did he get paid for this "work" and who exactly paid him? These questions need to be answered.
Our game is over but the reality is that if Liverpool demand an external investigation (my view of the statement is that is justifiably suggesting this is not plausible “human error”- to claim the entire VAR team can’t actually see what happens on the pitch, somehow believing they’d confirmed the goal etc!)- it is to the benefit of the entire league. All the other leagues in Europe have had corruption scandals and investigations, we now have our refs working in the UAE days before these fixtures. That may mean nothing; but frankly, with the insanity of these decisions it needs to be investigated. It may be that their just privately corrupted, as in the betting & fixing scandals we see with players & other leagues & sports globally. That aside, even IF our officials are clean, that would mean that they are insanely incompetent it would warrant serious consequences, but to be honest their explanation is so utterly mad it’s Epstein-esque. Whatever the outcome, the PGMOL should be made to suffer and be forced to seriously improve their standards. The whole lot of them aren’t fit for purpose.
As a Liverpool fans is good to hear other clubs are behind this as the statement is not just for Liverpool fc its for the league its been going on too long now teams week in week out getting robbed with no accountability
That’s because anytime anybody complains against the PGMOL they get a warning and a fine from the FA, the FA is the reason football sometimes feels like a joke, those incompetent fools.
This Liverpool fan applauds you. Our clubs stood together to change the top flight, and form the premier league. We should stand together again to fight this corruption.
As an LFC fan, I have loved coming to this channel to watch Mark’s reactions to the lfc man utd games, but after this weekend, I have such a deep respect for him. Thank you for fighting for football. Its not a LFC problem, its a football problem. I appreciate your integrity and love for the sport
Thank you. Ignore any Liverpool fans making digs at Spurs, because you as a team don't deserve this. The referees are the ones who must be held accountable.
@@liverbot4854I'm a Liverpool fan and I totally agree with your sentiments and also I agree with Mark on this one. VAR ruined a brilliant match and that goal being allowed would have made for a different game, hell it could have been a win for us.
They would be screwed if they didn’t do anything about it and let it carry on, something has to be said. Liverpool and bringing all fans into the conversation as well as professional pundits on Sky Sports/Talksport and social media & word off mouth. It’s huge! They can’t shut down football if we all get involved. There’s nothing more frustrating for everyone when they try to get away with it. Human error is a sh*t excuse for a governing body of the football association. Correct there error and they will be appreciated instead of hated.
As a Scouser and Liverpool season ticket holder, I have to say I have nothing but respect for you, Mark. Rivalry aside, the bigger picture is football in general and it effects all football clubs. Nice one, Mark👍🏼
Mark as a Liverpool fan I really appreciate you standard for the integrity in the game of football. Many people are starting to lose the love for the game due to the drop in standards. This is about football as a whole and I want thank you for calling it out
@@williambuckley5601 Thats up to the West Ham fans to shout about. Also we are not talking about that. What if you got the penalty and missed it? We are talking about a legitimate goal that wasn’t awarded which is unprecedented in the fact the officials have acknowledged they made a mistake.
If West Ham had that goal (which isn't even a guarantee) the point tally would not have changed whereas, Liverpool were denied a factual goal that would have more likely than not gave them a point and taken 2 from spurs.@@williambuckley5601
Perhaps we have no lines men, it's all laser lines with robots. Everything would need to be checked and the ''human'' should check. If the lines men never flagged it offside then the goal would not of been dis allowed. Get rid of lines men! VAR works BT the ''human element'' does not! :)
Love this, Mark. Massive respect to you for consistently putting aside rivalries in order to provide a level-headed and rational response to all the nonsense we are seeing on a weekly basis. I already see folks claiming that Liverpool just loves to play the victim, or that they just love to whine and complain. Utter BS. They are a massive club, and they have an influence. Why on earth would someone, if they TRULY love the game of football, be against them leveraging their status in order to challenge an authority that has clearly lost the plot? Is this not a win for all supporters?
I’m a Liverpool season ticket holder and have family who are Man. Utd fans. However, I totally respect your view on the whole VAR issue after the weekend diabolical decision. Fair play to you Mark.
As an Arsenal fan who thought my massive respect for Liverpool couldn't possibly increase, I've been proven wrong 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Last season the PGMOL quite frankly bullied and had different standards for us on too many occasions and it's even carried over to this season with some of the bookings we get. That made us cower and opt not to make a fuss when the Brentford incident occurred You could even add their apology for wrongfully disallowing Martinelli's goal at Old Trafford, as well as the 4 clear penalties ignored against Soton at St Mary's, Gabriel not getting a pen in the dying minutes vs Newcastle at home and Enciso's goal at the Emirates after Kiwior had been CLEARLY FOULED to mishaps we should have taken further action against. Additionally many such incidents went in City's favor last season when they should've lost to Palace at the Etihad,and Coutinho's winner at Villa Park was also wrongfully disallowed,though admittedly they were also robbed of a win at Old Trafford. Liverpool know better than anyone how league titles, champions league spots and Premier league survival can be lost by a single point or GD. Good on them for standing up to the incompetent establishment
Liverpool will be robbed many more times within the course of the season since they are challenging Mancity just like Arsenal last season. Arsenal has been robbed like 6 times last season....PGMOL made apology 2 times. There's something suspicious going on. These guys dont want someone to compete with Mancity. Liverpool should be cautious and dont accept these unnecessary apologies
As a Chelsea fan, massive respect to you Mark. Also massive respect for Liverpool FC who have really questioned how football games are conducted. I feel more clubs need to put out statements echoing this sentiment. Hopefully Gusto’s red card or ban could be overturned.
@@BeobachterofTruth If Gusto red card can't be overturn, what are the chances of complains you going have regardless of which incident you going pull out of that Spurs/Pool game? All of them are lesser incidents which I'm not sure what people are b!tching about. And that lawsuit thing, LOL! That's a mighty big can of worms that Pool is opening...... Every team is going to look at this now for their advantage. There is no good end to this unless English FA dismiss this soon.
@@catlurver7296the issue is that VAR thought they were making one decision when it was actually the other. This is unprecedented. It’s not clear whether that actually legal by the rules of football
The majority of what you’ve said is spot on. However, it needs to be highlighted that PGMOL have not apologised. They’ve merely released an explanatory statement that tries to give excuses for the mess they made. Also, Liverpool might miss out on stuff from the points lost out on through this ridiculous officiating. But, so could other teams. Before any United fans get all tribal and shrug their shoulders, what if Spurs beat United to a top four place by a point or two, the points that they got in this game via the same incompetent refereeing?
For real Saturdays reffing was the final straw imo something needs to happen whether Liverpool press the issue or united or arsenal but it’s bound to happen and if it’s frequent in such big games like the Liverpool and Tottenham then teams can literally lose out on top 4 or titles because of their incompetence
exactly, some disgusting Tottenham fans were entertained the shambolic decision by the Var because we won the game. The truth is that we might get benfited from the var today, but god know what will happen to us tomorow... And I'm not even saying this to twerking for rival's fans but this is for the sake of my club, no one want to play in a league of corruption.
I salute you, Sue! The thing is. this is not Spurs mistake that this happened to be honest, and I am saying this as a Liverpool fan saying this. It is the PGMOL, FA and the refs who ruined a great evening between Spurs and Liverpool for all Football fans who were waiting to see how these two good teams would've played. There got to be a change moving forward or it might happen to other teams especially relegation battle teams or people fighting for a Euro spot who can have their whole season ruined.
Liverpool need to take this as far as possible. They have lost 2 EPL titles by 1 point and if both season has some very controversial decisions go against them in both seasons and every point can and does matter.
Thank you Mark for leaving rivalries aside. This situation has surpassed everything. The consistency of decisions and that lack of explanation from the referees are embarrassing. They should get rid of VAR or learn to use it properly. Spot on Mark!
As a Golden State Warriors fan, I have massive respect for someone like Mark who puts aside the rivalry between clubs to speak the truth and strives for the game to be fair. That's the true spirit of sportsmanship.
As a Vegas Knights fan I have massive respect for golden state warriors fans for having massive respect for someone like Mark who is helping bring us all together 👍
As a Liverpool fan of over 45 years, I have massive respect for Mark for speaking up about this and getting behind what Liverpool are trying to do here, because like most of us genuine fans, we absolutely love the Beautiful Game, and these kinds of disastrous errors are simply destroying our favourite sport and the integrity of the Premier League. This goes above and beyond historical rivalries and individual loyalty, because there is much more at stake here and something serious has to be done. Thanks, mate, for your support.
Arsenal was at the beginning of the terrible decisions , Liverpool can point to all the mistakes including that one as a history of ineptitude so have a stronger position to sue them .
@@user-tm6qx8oc8o why should they care what other fans say? Not an Arsenal fan, but I would have supported that. I think there is corruption in this league and it needs to be investigated. This will only happen if investigative journalists do something or clubs start asking legal questions.
Totally respect you Mark, and agree with all that you say. I'm a Liverpool fan and feel that now that they have set the bench mark to fight, ALL teams should support them. As for Gary Neville, he shouts and shouts, but when the team actually bites back, he can't follow through with support. And to add to this, they are now fining Liverpool £25000 for too many cards! It's a joke.
Great to see football fans putting tribal rivalry to one side here and getting together to challenge the incompetence of the PGMOL. Thanks Mark - top man.
Mark as a Liverpool fan it kind of pains me to say this, but you're one of the best people in the football world. I wish the world was more like you. YNWA
massive respect mark for backing us in this battle, sad to see fans of other clubs not care simply because it's liverpool. if we win this every team will benefit
Mark, as an LFC fan and a fan of football, I thank you for addressing this and reacting from a place that is for the good of football. Top respect to you.
I am certainly into what Liverpool are going to do the PGMOL. I agree that they had to do something, because we can’t afford any other referee/VAR mistakes.
@@MarkSmith-er7feeveryone on the planet makes mistakes but the only people who don't face consequences are football officials and politicians. Players get fined, get suspended or even banned if they make a bad mistake, same with the managers. No reason the PGMOL shouldn't be held to the same standards
@@Uygkuyfkutfkytfkutfvso so why Man United whinning about players injuries....... We talking about obvious ONside Luis Diaz goal...... that was ruled out. Imao
@@pricedrops9472What makes this one special is it quite literally cost a game and was extremely egregious. Also Liverpool is speaking up, more clubs should join in because it's not just Liverpool. If a player or manager criticizes a decision by a ref they get fined, if a player makes a mistake and commits a foul they get booked, why do refs face zero consequences for their mistakes?
Thanks Mark for fighting on the side of football - as a Liverpool fan, I'd love to see more clubs come together with us to challenge the blatant incompetence that is happening every game and ruining the sport that we love.
we’ve lost the bloody title by 1 point before, can you imagine if this happened during the last month of the season? Much respect to Mark for being this enraged about the situation bc it’s destroying the integrity of the league above all else. As much as this hurt as an LFC supporter, it means a lot to have supporters of others clubs (especially a rival) back us for the sake of the keeping integrity in the game.
As football fans, this issue transcends rivalry as it affects every club, so to see the stance you've taken in the name of what is fair (as an LFC fan) is refreshing and greatly appreciated.
THANK YOU for this video! Everything you've said is how so many of us feel. The apology but the lack of changes is why no one should be OK with this. They want us just to be quiet but it's taking away from the game when we have VAR and it's not actually being executed properly.
Gotta praise Mark for being a good sport. As an Arsenal supporter, I enjoy and appreciate his videos. He keeps his morals high unlike most other fan channels.
I'm a Liverpool fan and i respect you so much for coming out with this. We need more people like you in football. Fair play lad and you now have another subscriber 👍🏻
As a lfc fan, I have so much respect for your unbiased, professional views on all things football. Truly enjoy your content and views in general. Keep it up Mark!
Mark, you're one of the most unbiased football youtubers around. Whenever there's Liverpool news, I gravitate towards your channel. Because I know you'll cut out all of the bullshit, but you'll also not let the rivalry get between you and putting out good and honest content. Much love ❤
As a Liverpool supporter, I've been a fan for years. But my respect for you is immense. You are right. This isn't about Liverpool. This is about the integrity of the league, and how important this match could be in terms of the title chase or qualification for UCL. I have respect for your club, and many clubs in the EPL. I don't want to see what happened Saturday happen to any club. No reason for it at this point. The technology is too good. But the human element was embarrassing this weekend.
Well said Mark. With your following, unbiased and honest agenda, you are well placed to become a voice of reason and one that carries authority ! Keep fighting the good fight
@@dannjp75 mate he’s being honest as he can be he hates Liverpool I respect that I hate United but when hoijlunds goal was dissalowed when it shouldn’t of been I was fuming, happy it didn’t count but fuming at the ref because they keep making mistakes we need new referees there ruining the game
I love your unbiased opinion mark it’s refreshing. Liverpool are absolutely bang on and in their right to stand up for their club and football in general they are not taking this laying down and I don’t necessarily think it’s about the result the chances of that being changed are very slim but they do not want this to happen again. They stood up for their club and football in the horrendous champions league final in France and they won that battle. That issue with fans will never happen again They are standing up for their club and football again it’s nice to see a club having a back bone Awesome content as always looking forward to the post cast tomorrow 🔥
You have earned my full respect for objectively treating this subject for what it truly is. It's not about Liverpool or Manu, it's about the integrity of the game. The PGMOL do act as a dictatorship, they can't keep getting away with these decisions with an apology that means nothing, it's like a typical toxic relationship. Great video, great explanation of the situation, for that my friend you've earned a lifetime sub of your channel.
As a Liverpool fan I'm so utterly disgusted in the VAR decisions over the weekend game. We faced two teams not just one. Thanks Mark for siding on Liverpool on this one and for the truth. This very well could have an impact on all the teams. Also I believe they lied when they mentioned the lines were drawn.
I'm not even a Liverpool fan and I say it is bullshit that they lost in relation to shitty refs and a broken BAR system. Stop going round looking for attention with your stupid comments, it is sad
If he didn’t list his team you’d just say “oh I bet you’re a Liverpool fan aren’t you?” He’s getting it out of the way because it’s something people like to bring up but simpletons like you just can’t understand what a preemptive statement is.
Credit to you Mark. You know exactly when to be objective and unbiased when discussing topics and when it's just good banter. Slowly becoming one of my favorite football media personalities, and this coming from a Liverpool fan.
Neville changed his opinion in fear of his job because he spouted out that while commentating in the gallery that they as commentators get to hear the VAR decisions immediately but Neville stated he heard nothing after the ball crossed the line and found it very strange and unusual ..In my opinion i reckon he was threatened with his job for saying what he said .
He's a corporate weasel who uses his so-called pro 'working class' political views to appear as a man of the people. If he was truly threatened or coerced into changing his tone, then he should say so and make it public, then come out all guns blazing against the corporate footballing world. But like most of these big talkers, they aren't much when it comes to doing anything about it, especially when their own necks are on the line. There's a term other than weasel for these types of people, it's called being a sellout.
I'm totally for this! If the managers or clubs can be fined for condemning bad officiating or speaking up against the FA, then what's good for the goose is good for the gander!
Thankyou mark for having a brain and living football. This isn't about Liverpool crying this is about Liverpool wanting better for everyone in the league. This is about referees getting better and being held accountable with actual change and progression. It cannot get swept under the rug any more.
You can’t honestly believe what you’ve just written. Do you really think Liverpool would have put out a statement like this if there was an obviously incorrect offside in a game that didn’t affect Liverpool? This is only about Liverpool moaning. It’s got nothing to do with the greater good.
@@j24ishdid you see Tottenham “raise a stink” about that game too? It’s not about that every single team in the prem has had that bs and inconsistent calls or red cards againest them what liverpool are doing is good for everyone because it has happened to every single team
Mark you are an absolute legend and I just want to say that you should never change!! Keep fighting for what is right for the game, and not just aligning yourself to an agenda that fits the broadcasters narrative. Keep up the good work!! VAR is so flawed it's untrue.
This goes beyond club loyalty, Liverpool were robbed and to those who say they should accept the apology. How long will it take until it's your club? If people sit down and don't fight, this situation will be a norm
The problem is that Liverpool have been happy to stay silent when they are one of the teams that have benefitted most from these bad VAR calls. So no, Liverpool don't deserve respect.
@@hermityt1663 This game was worse than any other I've ever seen, that's what makes the difference. Sure there was another VAR howler yesterday when Brentford had a stonewall penalty (and arguably another penalty) not given and yet no one is talking about it because it still wasn't nearly as bad as this game
@@jackkelly6251 Doesn't refute my point at all. If this was Liverpool benefitting, then they would say nothing, if anything, they would defend the refs. If you only speak up when it's against your own team, then it just sounds like sour grapes.
@@jackkelly6251 Nobody is saying being outraged, but they could atleast acknowledge the mistake, you know, like you see in other sports. But no, that doesn't happen, they would either ignore it or say the ref was right.
I appreciate and wonder, how transparent you are with your things. In most of the video I watch I have a feeling you can be a good parent to all the negatives that happens in football world.. The one who can bring a change..
Rivals fight to get the win in the football way and thats totally fine.But,if you get cheated then that goes beyond it and they must unite to fight against it.Massive respect,Mark.
Spot on Mark, if Liverpool affect a change it will be for the good of football not just the good of Liverpool. To anyone who thinks these mistakes should go unpunished, I say wait until it happens to your club.
Mark Goldbridge has earned my respect over this weekend! I'm a LFC it's great to see a Man U fan speak on our behalf. This isn't about rivalry, it's about the game we all love being refereed fairly & competently! Something needs to be done about these refs! I'm tired of terrible decisions affecting games week after week no matter what team it is & no consequence for the officials!
The truth is, it should not be Liverpool alone taking this as far as possible, all teams have a vested interest in this, im a spurs fan and like you said Mark all teams have been on the end of very questionable decisions, i felt the match at the weekend with the superb Liverpool side was spoiled by amateurs. As a Spurs fan i stand with Liverpool and hope Spurs as a club will stand with Liverpool for change and consistency
Thanks for being a level headed spurs fan. I perused the spurs subreddit after the game and it was full of spurs fans telling ppl/Liverpool to suck it, and saying this is justified based on previous decisions in past games vs Liverpool. What they fail to comprehend clearly is that this is about an issue of football integrity, not about one team getting the upper hand on the other. If this isn’t addressed and dealt with, it sets a precedent that bad decisions are acceptable because everyone will eventually be affected by one
@@blazer7731 they claim to be fans but they are not football fans, real football fans want to see great football and fair play, the fair play includes the officials..... I have a good memory also sir and it is with fondness and great respect I remember these words from one of Liverpools finest " football is not a matter of life and death, its more important than that " officials should remember fans of every team live by this, fans weekends can be ruined by officials decisions. Last weekends match between Spurs and Liverpool really had the makings of an epic battle, sadly ruined by the poor officials. Young man, good luck for the rest of the season, see you In the final of the FA CUP 😃
man you just made my day and restored my faith on football with that statement thank you for cheering me up after that horrendous refreeing @@rolandparfitt1400
Agree mate, all clubs need to come together. Especially the smaller teams in the league that tend to get screwed more than the high profile clubs. The game is being decided b match officials.
This is about being a football fan wanting fairness in the game, emotion aside. This is now about holding the integrity of the game, and stopping these decisions from happening again in the future. Well articulated Mark
Got to admire Mark for taking the side of football.. It's not just about bias.. Liverpool & Utd are goliaths of the game and would make positive changes in our game if we worked together with the help of more channels like this 🤷♂️
The point people seem to be missing (biased by the love of their own club perhaps) is that Liverpool are not asking for any special treatment here.. They simply want consistency in the sport.. As anyone that watches/plays football should want.. We all deserve the right to have our clubs judged and officiated to the same level week in week out.. If in week 1 a player receives a yellow card for going to the ref and waving to get another player a card then for the next 38 weeks we expect that any other player that does it will receive yellow as well.. Consistency is what makes competitive sport fair .. it is not for officials to judge on a whim or their feelings how a game should be won or lost.. This fight back from LFC isnt just about getting what is fair for them its about protecting what is fair to all clubs...no matter what team you support you should all back them in this so that we can avoid future f**K ups like this !!
Arsenal should have done this last year as well. Honestly hope all the teams band together and do something about this rivalry aside. The quality of officiating in the UK is bordering criminal.
It might be a bit of a blessing that this happened to Liverpool. They’re a big team who would actually fight back for the integrity of football. And we need this now more than ever in light of the Barca allegations that came out recently.
1. Liverpool missed out on a league title by a point...TWICE. 2. If apologies are enough, we wouldn't need the police or a legal system. 3. This isn't just a Liverpool thing. All the other clubs need to band together and file a class action suit against the PGMOL. Enough is enough. Cheers Mark. Absolutely spot on.
Well done to you sir.. As a Liverpool fan i have always watched your show as i have always respected you as a football fan.keep up the good work as clarity regardless of club is sadly very much missing.We are patrons of the clubs we support but need focused unbiased opinions too.
I am neither a Man U fan or Liverpool fan , but a massive fan of football in general. Mark you are a breath of fresh air and completely right when you say that the integrity of football in general is at stake. This VAR situation cannot continue ....as I understand it , it's there to make sure the ref makes correct decisions not to back him when he gets them wrong. Keep up the good work.
Massive respect to u sir 👏 The problem is not with VAR, it's with the people running it . That's it If we get rid of VAR, we will definitely get more horrible decisions like what happened with the Diaz goal more regularly. VAR is working fine in other leagues
VAR can work. The FA and Premier League need to examine exactly how the video refs interface with rugby matches. It's not perfect, but still the decision accuracy is vastly superior and the system is used in an efficient manner that doesn't bring the viewing experience to a complete standstill. In my opinion rugby pretty much already had the system football needed and this VAR has been pretty much a reinvention of the wheel.
I've always said Mark is an absolute legend and his stance on this matter only strengthens my opinion of him. He clearly has his own mind and speaks with logical consideration, which is something you rarely find in people. particularly football fans. He's a voice for the football community in my opinion.
I absolutely respect Mark Goldbridge for taking a stand for what happened to Liverpool on Saturday. I am a Liverpool fan and I watch every videos of Mark Goldbridge, Mark you are doing great job 👏 and thank you for sharing your love for football ⚽️
VAR have gone along and against all teams almost equally. The difference between all those cases and this one is that this one can be debated as corrupt, while plenty of the previous decisions may/may not be very subjective. Mark makes a brilliant point at 6:10 As a Liverpool fan, this match was probably one of the most hurtful games ive watched, even the 7-2 lost to Aston Villa didnt feel this bad.
it's not even about being equal at the end. losing a game you should win and then winning a game you should lose doesn't even out. it just makes the whole sport a parody.
@@raduungureanu2080 yup the main focus should be on the point you made, but you'll find alot of morons saying that VAR has helped Liverpool in the past too, so this is acceptable.
The one thing we all want is the right decision & consistency with decisions. If a team or a player does something wrong, there’s a price to pay or punishment. The same should go for the officiating to make sure standards are met & maintained
Absolutely spot on Mark. Liverpool have to pursue this case for themselves and hopefully the outcome will benefit all teams. Given the money in premier league football the lack of professionalism in VAR is totally unacceptable. In Rugby fans get VAR commentary in realtime, why not football? You’re correct to call-out the PGMOL dictatorship as there is no contractual process in place for clubs to address material loss, therefore no accountability.
Mark, 37 year deep Liverpool fan here. As you say, rivalries aside when it comes to good of the game. Enjoy your videos generally despite your shade of Red but this one was epic. 99% in absolute agreement. You’re wishing Utd would do what we did here, I’ve wished our fans would do what yours did and stand up against the owners.
Damn Mark… I agree with every single word! Respect for this take. Devastated with what happened as a Liverpool fan, I wish something will come of this!

What integrity is there in the game when the PGMOL allows Darren England to be "working" in the UAE two days before he is to man the VAR for UAE owned Man City's biggest rivals for this year's title? How much did he get paid for this "work" and who exactly paid him? These questions need to be answered.

@@user-vr3lo4kx7hthe most by far for 30 plus years
As Man Utd fan I am totally behind Liverpool. Its a shame that other clubs did not do anything like this.
Our game is over but the reality is that if Liverpool demand an external investigation (my view of the statement is that is justifiably suggesting this is not plausible “human error”- to claim the entire VAR team can’t actually see what happens on the pitch, somehow believing they’d confirmed the goal etc!)- it is to the benefit of the entire league.
All the other leagues in Europe have had corruption scandals and investigations, we now have our refs working in the UAE days before these fixtures. That may mean nothing; but frankly, with the insanity of these decisions it needs to be investigated.
It may be that their just privately corrupted, as in the betting & fixing scandals we see with players & other leagues & sports globally.
That aside, even IF our officials are clean, that would mean that they are insanely incompetent it would warrant serious consequences, but to be honest their explanation is so utterly mad it’s Epstein-esque. Whatever the outcome, the PGMOL should be made to suffer and be forced to seriously improve their standards. The whole lot of them aren’t fit for purpose.
As a Liverpool fans is good to hear other clubs are behind this as the statement is not just for Liverpool fc its for the league its been going on too long now teams week in week out getting robbed with no accountability
Fixed to the max even the way the way the image on the screen as he walks over is telling to send him off 😂
That’s because anytime anybody complains against the PGMOL they get a warning and a fine from the FA, the FA is the reason football sometimes feels like a joke, those incompetent fools.
This Liverpool fan applauds you. Our clubs stood together to change the top flight, and form the premier league. We should stand together again to fight this corruption.

They would be screwed if they didn’t do anything about it and let it carry on, something has to be said. Liverpool and bringing all fans into the conversation as well as professional pundits on Sky Sports/Talksport and social media & word off mouth. It’s huge! They can’t shut down football if we all get involved. There’s nothing more frustrating for everyone when they try to get away with it. Human error is a sh*t excuse for a governing body of the football association. Correct there error and they will be appreciated instead of hated.
As a Liverpool fan, this take is greatly appreciated. And he’s right; this isn’t about Liverpool, it’s about the sport itself.
To see fans of so many clubs, including spurs, agreeing with this days it all.
Massive respect and thanks Mark.
As a Scouser and Liverpool season ticket holder, I have to say I have nothing but respect for you, Mark. Rivalry aside, the bigger picture is football in general and it effects all football clubs.
Nice one, Mark👍🏼
Mark as a Liverpool fan I really appreciate you standard for the integrity in the game of football. Many people are starting to lose the love for the game due to the drop in standards. This is about football as a whole and I want thank you for calling it out
Well said 👏🏻
Where were the Liverpool fans when VAR didn't spot the clear penalty denied to West Ham a week ago?
@@williambuckley5601 Thats up to the West Ham fans to shout about. Also we are not talking about that. What if you got the penalty and missed it? We are talking about a legitimate goal that wasn’t awarded which is unprecedented in the fact the officials have acknowledged they made a mistake.
If West Ham had that goal (which isn't even a guarantee) the point tally would not have changed whereas, Liverpool were denied a factual goal that would have more likely than not gave them a point and taken 2 from spurs.@@williambuckley5601
Perhaps we have no lines men, it's all laser lines with robots. Everything would need to be checked and the ''human'' should check. If the lines men never flagged it offside then the goal would not of been dis allowed. Get rid of lines men! VAR works BT the ''human element'' does not! :)
Love this, Mark. Massive respect to you for consistently putting aside rivalries in order to provide a level-headed and rational response to all the nonsense we are seeing on a weekly basis. I already see folks claiming that Liverpool just loves to play the victim, or that they just love to whine and complain. Utter BS. They are a massive club, and they have an influence. Why on earth would someone, if they TRULY love the game of football, be against them leveraging their status in order to challenge an authority that has clearly lost the plot? Is this not a win for all supporters?
up the dosage, they are not working
lmao liverpool fans are moaners--victims
@@MarkSmith-er7fe Lmao united fans are homicidal
I’m a Liverpool season ticket holder and have family who are Man. Utd fans. However, I totally respect your view on the whole VAR issue after the weekend diabolical decision. Fair play to you Mark.
As an Arsenal fan who thought my massive respect for Liverpool couldn't possibly increase, I've been proven wrong 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Last season the PGMOL quite frankly bullied and had different standards for us on too many occasions and it's even carried over to this season with some of the bookings we get. That made us cower and opt not to make a fuss when the Brentford incident occurred
You could even add their apology for wrongfully disallowing Martinelli's goal at Old Trafford, as well as the 4 clear penalties ignored against Soton at St Mary's, Gabriel not getting a pen in the dying minutes vs Newcastle at home and Enciso's goal at the Emirates after Kiwior had been CLEARLY FOULED to mishaps we should have taken further action against.
Additionally many such incidents went in City's favor last season when they should've lost to Palace at the Etihad,and Coutinho's winner at Villa Park was also wrongfully disallowed,though admittedly they were also robbed of a win at Old Trafford.
Liverpool know better than anyone how league titles, champions league spots and Premier league survival can be lost by a single point or GD. Good on them for standing up to the incompetent establishment
couldn't agree more. the officiating is starting to look like a mafia in the PL
As a Liverpool fan I think you were robbed of the title because of this lot the games the important one hear not individual clubs
@@denis9450facts, our clubs should collaborate on this matter
because it is now abundantly clear that City's owners have truly bought the PL, and the match fixing is there all to see.
Liverpool will be robbed many more times within the course of the season since they are challenging Mancity just like Arsenal last season. Arsenal has been robbed like 6 times last season....PGMOL made apology 2 times. There's something suspicious going on. These guys dont want someone to compete with Mancity. Liverpool should be cautious and dont accept these unnecessary apologies
As a Chelsea fan, massive respect to you Mark. Also massive respect for Liverpool FC who have really questioned how football games are conducted. I feel more clubs need to put out statements echoing this sentiment. Hopefully Gusto’s red card or ban could be overturned.
Dream on. It is all you have left.
@@BeobachterofTruth If Gusto red card can't be overturn, what are the chances of complains you going have regardless of which incident you going pull out of that Spurs/Pool game? All of them are lesser incidents which I'm not sure what people are b!tching about.
And that lawsuit thing, LOL! That's a mighty big can of worms that Pool is opening...... Every team is going to look at this now for their advantage.
There is no good end to this unless English FA dismiss this soon.
If Gusto's was red then Liverpool's red should stand
@@catlurver7296the issue is that VAR thought they were making one decision when it was actually the other. This is unprecedented. It’s not clear whether that actually legal by the rules of football
Aldo don’t call Liverpool Pool unless we can call the Manchester clubs Chester or Chelsea Sea etc
The majority of what you’ve said is spot on. However, it needs to be highlighted that PGMOL have not apologised. They’ve merely released an explanatory statement that tries to give excuses for the mess they made.
Also, Liverpool might miss out on stuff from the points lost out on through this ridiculous officiating. But, so could other teams. Before any United fans get all tribal and shrug their shoulders, what if Spurs beat United to a top four place by a point or two, the points that they got in this game via the same incompetent refereeing?
very good point
......and that's it, in a nutshell!
Big respect for Mark here.
As a Spurs fan I applaud this action , this affects us all , every club in the premier league has or will be shafted by VAR at some point .
For real Saturdays reffing was the final straw imo something needs to happen whether Liverpool press the issue or united or arsenal but it’s bound to happen and if it’s frequent in such big games like the Liverpool and Tottenham then teams can literally lose out on top 4 or titles because of their incompetence
See the North London derby for more dodgy refereeing
exactly, some disgusting Tottenham fans were entertained the shambolic decision by the Var because we won the game. The truth is that we might get benfited from the var today, but god know what will happen to us tomorow... And I'm not even saying this to twerking for rival's fans but this is for the sake of my club, no one want to play in a league of corruption.
I salute you, Sue! The thing is. this is not Spurs mistake that this happened to be honest, and I am saying this as a Liverpool fan saying this. It is the PGMOL, FA and the refs who ruined a great evening between Spurs and Liverpool for all Football fans who were waiting to see how these two good teams would've played. There got to be a change moving forward or it might happen to other teams especially relegation battle teams or people fighting for a Euro spot who can have their whole season ruined.
Well said sir … from a loyal lpool fan !
Liverpool need to take this as far as possible. They have lost 2 EPL titles by 1 point and if both season has some very controversial decisions go against them in both seasons and every point can and does matter.
That rodri handball is the definition of corruption
The Rodri handball was pure corruption. The prem is looking more and more corrupt by the minute
VAR is ruining the game
Thank you Mark for leaving rivalries aside. This situation has surpassed everything. The consistency of decisions and that lack of explanation from the referees are embarrassing. They should get rid of VAR or learn to use it properly. Spot on Mark!
As a Golden State Warriors fan, I have massive respect for someone like Mark who puts aside the rivalry between clubs to speak the truth and strives for the game to be fair. That's the true spirit of sportsmanship.
What has that got to do with the warriors
@@moinedee7935think it was sarcasm since every comment seems to state what club the support 😂
Why you copying and pasting other peoples comments.
As a Vegas Knights fan I have massive respect for golden state warriors fans for having massive respect for someone like Mark who is helping bring us all together 👍
I like Exeter City fyi
As a Liverpool fan of over 45 years, I have massive respect for Mark for speaking up about this and getting behind what Liverpool are trying to do here, because like most of us genuine fans, we absolutely love the Beautiful Game, and these kinds of disastrous errors are simply destroying our favourite sport and the integrity of the Premier League. This goes above and beyond historical rivalries and individual loyalty, because there is much more at stake here and something serious has to be done.
Thanks, mate, for your support.
Come off it mate typical how it's Liverpool who want to sue
Every team has had shocking VAR decisions that can't be explained should we all sue
How is it typical Liverpool ? Have they sued them or someone else before ?@@Davo-MCFC
yes@@Davo-MCFC
There's worse injustices going on in the world pal than your precious victimpool
As a Liverpool fan, I can’t believe Arsenal didn’t do anything last season for their disallowed goal against Brentford.
Arsenal was at the beginning of the terrible decisions , Liverpool can point to all the mistakes including that one as a history of ineptitude so have a stronger position to sue them .
tbh Arsenal was told to shut it and move on. but I do not agree. fight for it!
i fear that if they did, other fans would have said we were 'whining'.
@@user-tm6qx8oc8o exactly my point. It’s the sad reality and now here we are.
@@user-tm6qx8oc8o why should they care what other fans say? Not an Arsenal fan, but I would have supported that. I think there is corruption in this league and it needs to be investigated. This will only happen if investigative journalists do something or clubs start asking legal questions.
Totally respect you Mark, and agree with all that you say. I'm a Liverpool fan and feel that now that they have set the bench mark to fight, ALL teams should support them. As for Gary Neville, he shouts and shouts, but when the team actually bites back, he can't follow through with support. And to add to this, they are now fining Liverpool £25000 for too many cards! It's a joke.
Great to see football fans putting tribal rivalry to one side here and getting together to challenge the incompetence of the PGMOL. Thanks Mark - top man.

Mark, as an LFC fan and a fan of football, I thank you for addressing this and reacting from a place that is for the good of football. Top respect to you.
I am certainly into what Liverpool are going to do the PGMOL. I agree that they had to do something, because we can’t afford any other referee/VAR mistakes.
still they will make mistakes
Hopefully more clubs join in and support. We should all unite as football fans and make change happen
@@MarkSmith-er7feeveryone on the planet makes mistakes but the only people who don't face consequences are football officials and politicians.
Players get fined, get suspended or even banned if they make a bad mistake, same with the managers. No reason the PGMOL shouldn't be held to the same standards

we’ve lost the bloody title by 1 point before, can you imagine if this happened during the last month of the season? Much respect to Mark for being this enraged about the situation bc it’s destroying the integrity of the league above all else. As much as this hurt as an LFC supporter, it means a lot to have supporters of others clubs (especially a rival) back us for the sake of the keeping integrity in the game.

They the FA etc cant touch Mark, he has carte blanche , unlike the players and pundits who are on a dog leash
THANK YOU for this video! Everything you've said is how so many of us feel. The apology but the lack of changes is why no one should be OK with this. They want us just to be quiet but it's taking away from the game when we have VAR and it's not actually being executed properly.
Gotta praise Mark for being a good sport. As an Arsenal supporter, I enjoy and appreciate his videos. He keeps his morals high unlike most other fan channels.
As a Liverpool fan I like how Mark is impartial when it comes to football and backs the team no matter who they are
Unlike Gary Neville who is a two faced coward!

I love your unbiased opinion mark it’s refreshing. Liverpool are absolutely bang on and in their right to stand up for their club and football in general they are not taking this laying down and I don’t necessarily think it’s about the result the chances of that being changed are very slim but they do not want this to happen again.
They stood up for their club and football in the horrendous champions league final in France and they won that battle. That issue with fans will never happen again
They are standing up for their club and football again it’s nice to see a club having a back bone

Rebecca do you know what's happened to Matt from off circuit?
You have earned my full respect for objectively treating this subject for what it truly is. It's not about Liverpool or Manu, it's about the integrity of the game. The PGMOL do act as a dictatorship, they can't keep getting away with these decisions with an apology that means nothing, it's like a typical toxic relationship. Great video, great explanation of the situation, for that my friend you've earned a lifetime sub of your channel.
Mark is a legit guy, massive respect from a Liverpool fan!
i am a Man Utd fan but i salute Liverpool for fighting back, we should all join hands!
As a Liverpool fan I'm so utterly disgusted in the VAR decisions over the weekend game. We faced two teams not just one. Thanks Mark for siding on Liverpool on this one and for the truth. This very well could have an impact on all the teams. Also I believe they lied when they mentioned the lines were drawn.
Oooh as a Liverpool fan, they all say...
I'm not even a Liverpool fan and I say it is bullshit that they lost in relation to shitty refs and a broken BAR system. Stop going round looking for attention with your stupid comments, it is sad
If he didn’t list his team you’d just say “oh I bet you’re a Liverpool fan aren’t you?” He’s getting it out of the way because it’s something people like to bring up but simpletons like you just can’t understand what a preemptive statement is.
@steaustin8789 coming from a guy who names himself after an old wrestler.😂😂😂
And who do you support o Yeah no body
Thanks for your comments mark, being a Liverpool fan its great that a rival fan realizes its not about Liverpool its about football.
Credit to you Mark. You know exactly when to be objective and unbiased when discussing topics and when it's just good banter. Slowly becoming one of my favorite football media personalities, and this coming from a Liverpool fan.
Neville changed his opinion in fear of his job because he spouted out that while commentating in the gallery that they as commentators get to hear the VAR decisions immediately but Neville stated he heard nothing after the ball crossed the line and found it very strange and unusual ..In my opinion i reckon he was threatened with his job for saying what he said .
He's a corporate weasel who uses his so-called pro 'working class' political views to appear as a man of the people.
If he was truly threatened or coerced into changing his tone, then he should say so and make it public, then come out all guns blazing against the corporate footballing world. But like most of these big talkers, they aren't much when it comes to doing anything about it, especially when their own necks are on the line. There's a term other than weasel for these types of people, it's called being a sellout.
Respect to Mark for his love of football.
Absolutely fantastic, you are spot on. Thank you for this.
Love your work, much respect to you. Keep fighting the fight.
I'm totally for this! If the managers or clubs can be fined for condemning bad officiating or speaking up against the FA, then what's good for the goose is good for the gander!
Thankyou mark for having a brain and living football. This isn't about Liverpool crying this is about Liverpool wanting better for everyone in the league. This is about referees getting better and being held accountable with actual change and progression. It cannot get swept under the rug any more.
You can’t honestly believe what you’ve just written. Do you really think Liverpool would have put out a statement like this if there was an obviously incorrect offside in a game that didn’t affect Liverpool? This is only about Liverpool moaning. It’s got nothing to do with the greater good.

This goes beyond club loyalty, Liverpool were robbed and to those who say they should accept the apology. How long will it take until it's your club? If people sit down and don't fight, this situation will be a norm

The problem is that Liverpool have been happy to stay silent when they are one of the teams that have benefitted most from these bad VAR calls. So no, Liverpool don't deserve respect.
@@hermityt1663 This game was worse than any other I've ever seen, that's what makes the difference.

Mark Goldbridge has earned my respect over this weekend! I'm a LFC it's great to see a Man U fan speak on our behalf. This isn't about rivalry, it's about the game we all love being refereed fairly & competently! Something needs to be done about these refs! I'm tired of terrible decisions affecting games week after week no matter what team it is & no consequence for the officials!
The truth is, it should not be Liverpool alone taking this as far as possible, all teams have a vested interest in this, im a spurs fan and like you said Mark all teams have been on the end of very questionable decisions, i felt the match at the weekend with the superb Liverpool side was spoiled by amateurs. As a Spurs fan i stand with Liverpool and hope Spurs as a club will stand with Liverpool for change and consistency
Big ups to you man! Hope it brings change for all clubs.
Thanks for being a level headed spurs fan. I perused the spurs subreddit after the game and it was full of spurs fans telling ppl/Liverpool to suck it, and saying this is justified based on previous decisions in past games vs Liverpool. What they fail to comprehend clearly is that this is about an issue of football integrity, not about one team getting the upper hand on the other. If this isn’t addressed and dealt with, it sets a precedent that bad decisions are acceptable because everyone will eventually be affected by one
@@blazer7731 they claim to be fans but they are not football fans, real football fans want to see great football and fair play, the fair play includes the officials.....

Agree mate, all clubs need to come together. Especially the smaller teams in the league that tend to get screwed more than the high profile clubs. The game is being decided b match officials.
This is about being a football fan wanting fairness in the game, emotion aside. This is now about holding the integrity of the game, and stopping these decisions from happening again in the future. Well articulated Mark
Got to admire Mark for taking the side of football.. It's not just about bias.. Liverpool & Utd are goliaths of the game and would make positive changes in our game if we worked together with the help of more channels like this 🤷♂️
You are spot on Mark, well done mate ... David from Angola
The point people seem to be missing (biased by the love of their own club perhaps) is that Liverpool are not asking for any special treatment here.. They simply want consistency in the sport.. As anyone that watches/plays football should want.. We all deserve the right to have our clubs judged and officiated to the same level week in week out.. If in week 1 a player receives a yellow card for going to the ref and waving to get another player a card then for the next 38 weeks we expect that any other player that does it will receive yellow as well.. Consistency is what makes competitive sport fair .. it is not for officials to judge on a whim or their feelings how a game should be won or lost.. This fight back from LFC isnt just about getting what is fair for them its about protecting what is fair to all clubs...no matter what team you support you should all back them in this so that we can avoid future f**K ups like this !!

Mark you are a breath of fresh air and completely right when you say that the integrity of football in general is at stake.
This VAR situation cannot continue ....as I understand it , it's there to make sure the ref makes correct decisions not to back him when he gets them wrong.
Keep up the good work.
Massive respect to u sir 👏
The problem is not with VAR, it's with the people running it . That's it
If we get rid of VAR, we will definitely get more horrible decisions like what happened with the Diaz goal more regularly.
VAR is working fine in other leagues
VAR can work. The FA and Premier League need to examine exactly how the video refs interface with rugby matches. It's not perfect, but still the decision accuracy is vastly superior and the system is used in an efficient manner that doesn't bring the viewing experience to a complete standstill.
In my opinion rugby pretty much already had the system football needed and this VAR has been pretty much a reinvention of the wheel.
Respect, Mark. Spot on.
I don't normally like you but i got to applaud you for your passionate objectivity. You're spot on.
I've always said Mark is an absolute legend and his stance on this matter only strengthens my opinion of him. He clearly has his own mind and speaks with logical consideration, which is something you rarely find in people. particularly football fans. He's a voice for the football community in my opinion.
Previous season we lost the league by one point because of that Rodri handball wasn’t given and they only apologised
He blatantly slapped the ball with his hand il never forget that no ref is that incompetent it was only corruption

videos of Mark Goldbridge, Mark you are doing great job 👏 and thank you for sharing your love for football ⚽️
Excellent brown nose job. Well done!
VAR have gone along and against all teams almost equally. The difference between all those cases and this one is that this one can be debated as corrupt, while plenty of the previous decisions may/may not be very subjective. Mark makes a brilliant point at 6:10
As a Liverpool fan, this match was probably one of the most hurtful games ive watched, even the 7-2 lost to Aston Villa didnt feel this bad.
All teams except City
it's not even about being equal at the end. losing a game you should win and then winning a game you should lose doesn't even out. it just makes the whole sport a parody.
@@raduungureanu2080 yup the main focus should be on the point you made, but you'll find alot of morons saying that VAR has helped Liverpool in the past too, so this is acceptable.
The one thing we all want is the right decision & consistency with decisions.
If a team or a player does something wrong, there’s a price to pay or punishment. The same should go for the officiating to make sure standards are met & maintained
Well done mark. I am not a Utd fan but you speak for all football fans. ❤ well done 👏🏽
Absolutely spot on Mark. Liverpool have to pursue this case for themselves and hopefully the outcome will benefit all teams. Given the money in premier league football the lack of professionalism in VAR is totally unacceptable. In Rugby fans get VAR commentary in realtime, why not football? You’re correct to call-out the PGMOL dictatorship as there is no contractual process in place for clubs to address material loss, therefore no accountability.
Real talk
Mark, 37 year deep Liverpool fan here. As you say, rivalries aside when it comes to good of the game. Enjoy your videos generally despite your shade of Red but this one was epic. 99% in absolute agreement.
You’re wishing Utd would do what we did here, I’ve wished our fans would do what yours did and stand up against the owners.
Top man. Goldbridge saves football. Keep it up Mark. Thanks.
Damn Mark… I agree with every single word! Respect for this take. Devastated with what happened as a Liverpool fan, I wish something will come of this!
