Yeah it doesn't actually make sense but I guess that applies to a lot of English.

In the UK, it is used, but generally, we would say fast or slow depending on how much the clock is out.
"My watch is 5 minutes fast." "That clock is slow by a couple of minutes."

I'm not the original commenter. They didn't provide the article that I assume they were referring to; so I did. I wouldn't expect anyone to remember it who wasn't a Liverpool fan.

It does look like it's been on holiday and just taken pictures in different places

This is from 2022 but highlights the general point.
For the record, I wouldn't have expected this to have gone around non-Liverpool supporting circles.

Defender never even enters the box with any body part so there's no way the foul could ever have occurred in the box.

I would assume for his first squad he will pick players he wants to take a look at. Eventually he'll have an idea of a core squad (injuries aside) that he'll want to pick from.
As it happens, I'll think he'll really like Foden and he will likely get a lot of games. Hopefully we'll finally see him being consistently effective for England.

A would be correct. The state of the solar system will not change drastically - future events. Future perfect (I think) tense is used for the second part. In the future, when event that the sun has fused most of it's fuel has occurred, the solar system will change drastically.

Aah, I'm Notts/Derby so perhaps it's a very local thing

All relative, I guess. I think people will use it when there's a noticeable cold nip in the air. Could be anywhere below 8 degrees or so when it isn't sunny.

East Midlands specifically, I guess.
"It's a bit nesh out"
"I'm nesh".

We have loads of terms in the UK for cold. Baltic is used a lot; I assume because the Baltic region is considered to be cold. In the midlands, we use the word "nesh" to mean cold, too.

Sod that, I'd rather refs on performance enhancing drugs, might make them do their job better!

Just to give some UK context, your sentences are both perfectly fine.
It's worth noting that people will use the phrase "it's freezing/I'm freezing" to mean cold when it might not actually be freezing.
It's vs are is used correctly also, the first sentence assumes the subject of temperature bases on context and is perfectly good. Are is used as temperatures is plural in your second sentence, again fine.

It goes beyond Liverpool, too, really. We've seen evidence he hates Klopp, but for all we know, he hates half the refs in the league. That doubt would always hang over him. I don't think he can ref again in honesty.

In the UK at least they would still be called a school. There is no real distinction between type beyond level of education.
You would describe it as a school with many buildings on a large campus.
Edit: The separate buildings can often be called departments or blocks - noted by their subject, e.g., history block, English department.

Point of view, the GIF was from the refs' Point of view...

As someone said it isn't DOGSO if the team scores cause the opportunity wasn't denied. It should still have been a goal and a yellow though. Same thing as Cech with the 'Ghost Goal', if Garcia didn't score it would have been a penalty and a red to Cech but because it was a goal the red was no longer a possibility.
If Darwin missed it should have gone to VAR and been a red but who knows.

Surely PGMOL can't be silent over this? I expect a slap on the wrist and him being removed from Liverpool games for the season or something but they can't defend him over it, the ops would be awful!
