It comes from the very top. If Sky and the BBC cannot be bothered to get round a table with BT Sport and come up with a deal that works for everyone, then what is happening to the world?

This has not snuck up on us – we’ve known this day was coming since about 2016, haven’t we? Why are we not better prepared? It is V-A-R all the way.

And the longer it fails, the more material people like my not-so-good self get – so long may it continue. Someone has to profit from this shambles.

Considering I had already written 95 per cent of this column before Manchester United vs Liverpool kicked off, you can understand why I was doing my VAR drama dance beforehand – and boy, was I rewarded.

We can all agree that United’s recruitment has been poor over the last few years but it’s great to see they’ve finally found a long-term replacement for Howard Webb in Martin Atkinson.

If Atkinson didn’t pick up the Man of the Match award at Old Trafford, VAR certainly did – would be the point of view of those of a Liverpool persuasion, like Jurgen Klopp for example.

United’s opener was scored after Divock Origi took a tumble after Victor Lindelof snuck up behind him – if he is going to be Mohamed Salah’s main understudy he’s got to nail down winning those fouls better.

Moments later, Sadio Mane hoped to get away with a little bit of basketball and that people would completely forget the new laws of the game and turn a blind eye.
