Jamie Carragher jokes Gary Neville ‘was milk monitor at school’ after Man Utd legend defends VAR offside call
Dec 1, 2020
JAMIE CARRAGHER joked that Gary Neville was a 'milk monitor' in his school days for backing VAR offside calls.
The pundits clashed on Monday Night Football over how technology is changing refereeing decisions.
Aston Villa's defeat at West Ham came after Ollie Watkins' late equaliser was ruled out by a tight offside call.
Dean Smith was unhappy when VAR officials measured two defenders against the Villa striker but did not check for a potential penalty against him.
Back in the studio, Manchester United legend Neville, 45, had little sympathy for offside calls being a matter of inches.
Carragher asked his colleague: "So you don't mind people being given offside by an inch?"
Neville replied: "It will always be an inch - it will always be an inch offside."
To which Carragher , 42, shot back: "I bet he was the milk monitor at school."
West Ham won the game 2-1 , thanks in part to the decision, and Neville felt that sport often comes down to these fine details.
He continued: "It was always an inch.
"Precision in sport, it's right. Whether it's a 100-metre race or a Grand National, it can be [won] by inches."
Liverpool hero Carragher railed against VAR during the discussion and stated that referees had become 'obsessed' with certain decisions.
He declared: "This was brought in to help referees, and we were all calling for it, because referees need help.
