I WANT ANSWERS GODDAM IT!!!
@ISMF, I think I’m entitled.
The Mod team will be taking their time to conduct a thorough review and will not be commenting until that review is complete.
Blinkered?
I think the cap fits you well mate.
Give it a rest lads?
I can handle things! I’m smart!
Not like people say…like dumb…
I’m smart and I WANT RESPECT!!!
Best thing to do is just let them fight it out, mate…
Not really, it just depends on your perspective of it. The only way in which I can see unfairness being created is the extra workload on the teams. Otherwise, it really just is a matter of luck, all those other variables.
If you treat the game that was already played as invalid, it’s not too different from a simple rescheduling of the original fixture, which happens all the time.

For which you might not have the players available who you had origionally picked to play that game
I dont think our argument is or should be that the game should be replayed. Tottenham won, good for them.
The real issue we are arguing is over transparency and accountability for how decisions are being made.

That’s precisely my point. If we already have no problems with rescheduling of games, in principle, there should not be a problem with a replay.
Yes, that is the real issue, but it’s clear that both teams were denied a fair game.
I don’t think it should be replayed but i think we should be using every possible leverage the suggestion of something like that may give us to push for a complete overhaul of the VAR system,those who govern and the employees whose job it is to make sure the correct decision is arrived at.
There is no way that anyone looking at that game thought the ref had allowed that goal.We all knew it was being checked for offside,everyone on the pitch,in the ground,watching on tv,even sky sports themselves knew,yet this is the story put out there.The PGMOL are either lying or playing at being naive enough to believe that the VAR lads all thought the same thing when evryone else knew differently.
Let’s replay it, get to the finals of the Carabao Cup, FA Cup and Europa League. We’d beat our record for most games played in a season.

Good plan Cdo. Glad that a level headed chap like you is in charge.

“Level headed” you say? 
I agree. And if we start officially calling for a replay we will spectacularly undermine our own points and sabotage the possibly that something good - increased accountability at PGMOL - can come out of this.

There was a game in the early Wenger era where Arsenal replayed a cup game after scoring a winner with a diabolically unsporting goal - they threw the ball back to the opposition after an injury stoppage only for one of the Arsenal forwards to nick the ball and set up a goal against an unready defense who were expecting to have to thrown back to them.
Half the Arsenal side themselves were upset (I think it was Kanu), but they played on refusing to offer their opponents a free goal. Shortly after the game though Wenger realized how badly their behavior had been received and made the offer to replay it. The FA accepted and the replay went ahead. I think critically, it being a cup game probably made that offer easier to accept. And the offer came from Arsenal rather than it being something demanded from them. I dont expect Spurs will offer that nor do I think it’s reasonable to expect them to. Maybe had the ref explained the situation at half time to them and asked them to offer to start the second half with a free goal and they refused then more of the blame could be put on spurs. But the refs just brushed the error under the carpet for reasons unknown

Warnock’s Sheffield Utd I think?
It has surely already been discussed in here, but I just came across this here:
VAR officials for the Liverpool match - England, Cook and fourth official Michael Oliver - were also part of an officiating team who took charge of a league game in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, just 48 hours before Saturday’s fixture.
