Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

It’s not strict on pens. It’s strict on agreeing with the referee.

 

It did go to VAR but they seemingly never overule the referees decision if it’s even vaguely subjective.

He dived and therefore cheated it’s not even a debate imo.

 

Agreed.

I was an advocate of VAR, but if it’s just gonna be used to confirm whatever decision the ref has already made, then what’s the point?

 

If only some people could have warned you of this

 

Exactly i dont think its fair ... if it goes to var they are far more strict ... im saying it makes the entire process a joke.. its not about the refs imo they like the limelight .

 

CORRECT 98.7%

 

It was a cynical foul, happens in most games, but that’s all it was. Klopp was pissed as Salahs ankle twisted under the challenge and he also used it to deflect away from the blatant dive that won the game.

 

I still think it can be made to work, but this virtual 100% confirming of the ref’s decision - even when it’s clearly the wrong decision - has to stop.

 

Thats right and im saying var should if ita one they wouldnt have given ... otherwise whats the point ? No consistancy and still players will dive especially in the last min

 

They’ll hide behind ‘a clear and obvious error’ there was minimal contact and despite him taking a stride before diving, they can say it wasn’t a clear and obvious error.

 

I enjoy seeing @Tobes upset.

 

They’ve dig themselves into a hole with that definition. They should have said from the start “we’ll give ****ing anything unless there isn’t a player within five yards of the bloke falling over. On offsides we’ll just draw some lines vaguely across the pitch which are inaccurate up to 19cm.” That would’ve covered all bases.

 

Grow up daft lad. I’m far from ‘upset’ I would be if I was a Leicester fan though. I just hate cheating in the game, and VAR was supposedly to help in eradicating it, in this instance it’s condoned it. Poor.

 

I just despise diving and was enjoying the likes of kane, salah and all the ****ers staying on his feet , but yesterday liverpool got away with it. I wanted liverpool to win btw.

 

This

 

If he pulls him back by the shirt that's a yellow. Once he leaves the ground and had no control over himself with no chance to win the ball he's applied excessive force and it's a mandatory red #readtherules

 

So you think if VAR existed it should have overturned DCL's penalty against us, or that contact from behind was a different kind of contact from behind?

 

Kopite whataboutery at its most desperate.

 

He didn’t touch him with his feet at all, you’re absolutely ****ing clueless.

 

Sky has a point about it being blatantly cynical, but it was neither high nor dangerous. Salah’s ankle actually got caught under his thigh.
