VAR is still making football worse 

Conor Coady celebrated his Everton goal against Liverpool with his teammates, sure in the knowledge it was a goal, but they had forgotten VAR haunts every minute like Banquo’s ghost and ruled out the goal for offside. His shoulder was very marginally offside but in saying that, he gained no advantage, he was unmarked and had he been an inch further back and onside would still have knocked the ball in.
