       Well no I don't and both high profile errors has been against my
       team, I would prefer the points back or in the interest of
       fairness at least replayed at the point of the incidents neither
       is going to happen so what is the point, considering we are
       fighting for the league
       [/quote]
       But if these errors cost us the league then there is going to be
       one almighty uproar personally 1. I don't think we will win the
       league and 2. we will lose it by more than 2 points which
       wouldn't make a difference anyway
       For starters, just because your fighting for the league doesn't
       mean your the high and mighty. Secondly, the official in
       question had been removes, in a professional sense that's all
       that can be done. I echo Craven, fairly self explanatory.
       [/quote]
       Well if we lose the league by those 2 points which I don't think
       we will anyway it will be more there will be 1 mighty uproar if
       we did lose it by 2 points
       [/quote]
       But even if that goal had been disallowed, the game hadn't
       finished, so no points had been gained, never mind lost.
       [/quote]
       So the fairest thing to of done would be to replay the game from
       the point of the Brentford free-kick
       [/quote]
       Cracking idea. Can we do the same for crucial errors in every
       other game played this season? I mean, it might even lift my
       team off the bottom of the EFL...

       Yup agreed on that we did, arguably our biggest game of the
       season and we gifted city there goals, but had Mason not made
       the error the game before and yes it still could of finished 1-1
       without the var error but we would be still 2 points clear had

       But Man City have been victim of dodgy decisions as well.  If
       every game that had a dodgy decision had to be replayed the

       I expect Mason had already been warned about his performances as

       Bournemouth were relegated in 2020 by 1 point after a goal line
       technology failed to award Sheff Utd a goal v Villa, Villa
       stayed up 1 point ahead of Bournemouth. Ultimately cost the club
       several millions & Eddie Howe getting sacked <---- the way
       bigger loss. We had more than our fair share of decisions going
       against us, clear penalties not given for us because it wasn't
       considered by VAR to be a clear & obvious error, handballs given
       against us with similar ones not being given for us etc. Whilst
       the GLT was a singular major defining factor, the real fact is
       that across the season we gave away too many goals, failed to
       defend on too many occasions, especially from set pieces, failed
       to score on way too many occasions and simply weren't good
       enough as a whole. 6 seasons before we were promoted as
       champions ahead of Watford, that season we were given a dubious
       penalty with a red card for Watford in our game against them at
       Dean Court, no doubt one of those many many defining moments
       across that season & one Watford fans understandably will
       forever think cost them the title. It didn't the results in the
       other 45 games played their part.  Seasons are not defined by a
       singular or even series of errors by referees, players make more
       mistakes on average in a single game than a referee does all
       season so if you lose the title by 2 points then put the blame
       where it actually lays and that's on your coach for poor tactics
       and your players for making way too many costly mistakes.
