Absolutely loved visiting Sheffield Football Club whilst researching our new book, 'A Football Odyssey - Passion, Politics & the Beautiful Game' (out on Bluemoose Books this June), and really delighted that the club has attracted investors of this calibre. This is a club that every fan should visit!

That’s one way for the fans to influence VAR….. 🇩🇪
Hertha Berlin had a possible penalty and they sent the referee to the screen to review it. Some fans invaded the pitch and stole the VAR cable
The referee couldn't see the play, so the VAR official had to decide, and they awarded the penalty, which ended up being a goal
The game is so back 🤣🤣
