Liverpool fan since the mid to late '80s. First vivid memory of football was the Mexico 86 World Cup; I still maintain that Maradona is the greatest player of all time (just imagine what he could have done with modern boots, ball and rules, and being protected from being mercilessly kicked from pillar to post for 90 mins). The Italia 90 World Cup took me from mildly interested to utterly gaga over football.
Why Liverpool? To be honest, initially it's because they tended to be on TV more than other teams in the '80s, and even my very young eyes could tell they played a totally different level of football to everyone else. The movement, power and creativity of that late '80s front line of Barnes, Beardsley, Aldridge/Rush was extraordinary to watch. The more I learned about the club, the more I liked. At the time, I lived nowhere near any professional club in any tier of football, so had no geographical or community ties to any club at all (I've now lived for decades in North London, first very close to Arsenal and now very close to Spurs). By the time football became my obsession post Italia '90, Liverpool were my club. Within a couple of years of that, of course, nobody was calling me a glory supporter any more... (Bittersweet!) 😆 There are a number of other clubs I have a soft spot for, due to having lived there at some point as a child, as we moved around a lot.
My opinion of VAR is that it's a good idea in theory and shambolic in practice. The concept of "clear and obvious error" is more honoured in the breach than in the observance; if you can't make a definitive call on something within a few seconds (let's say even 30 secs to be charitable), how can it have been a "clear and obvious" error? I think in those circumstances, deference has to be given to the on-field decision. Toenails offside are just bloody ridiculous - again, where it is that marginal, give it to the attacker. Stop this bloody desperate questing for any possible excuse to (a) disallow goals, or (b) send players off for having the temerity to still treat football as a contact sport.
