Said it right from the start. The only thing VAR will be good for is the bantz when it ****s a rival over. Whilst that's funny, it's not good for the game.

Ultimately it's proving to be about as effective as the old system, i.e. it comes down to human judgement and will make mistakes. And in that case, I don't see any point having it replace the onfield ref given the way it ruins some games and produces some truly baffling decisions in some cases and totally ignores others.

Klopp blubbing about it though is just sour old grapes. He's no more affected by it than any other team.

I was at Wembley for Spurs v Rochdale in February 2018. The first time a spurs game had used VAR.
I was ringing my eldest daughter and a mate who were watching at home to find out wtf was going on.
I knew then that it would be bollocks.
It kills goal celebrations, gives moronic penalties, backs stupid refereeing decisions, rules out goals, gives ****wit hand ball decisions and is destrying football for those in the ground imho...but **** me ... Liverpool acting like they are the only ones being butt ****ed is laughable.
Asking for a review of decisions cos they went against you is the hall mark of of entitled ****s.

This alone is reason enough to bin it off for me.

The fact that its function seems to offer little more than what the on field ref does anyway, renders it defunct for me.

Lob it in the bin <ok>

Hit them hard this one like. We’ve had loads of players suffer from broken legs and cruciate injuries in recent years.

Can’t remember the last time the RS had one tbh. Maybe that’s it.

Who’s said that they’re pleased like? Not me.

It’s not even been confirmed has it? An extra inhaler and a supersized juice and he’ll likely be back next week.

Likewise ... injuries to the best players are a blight on the game ...

... it is far more satisfying as a fan to beat your opponents when they are at full strength ... the game we won away at Citeh in our title year will remain in our folklore for generations ... watching Yaya and David Silva getting hauled and looking shellshocked as they came off and Aguero and Sterling trudging off dejectedly at the final whistle is one of my abiding memories... a happy place <laugh>

Liverpool are understood to have asked the Premier League to investigate the application of VAR in two controversial decisions during their 2-2 draw at Everton on Saturday.

So fcking precious this lot <doh>

The rest of the PL have asked for 1,324 cases where Liverpool have been the beneficiaries of VAR to also be investigated

Pickford should have walked, that's a given.

VAR is the numpties operating it though. If it can't make the right decision even after reviewing it, then what's the point in having it ?

I think people should learn the rules. Yes it was a reckless foul that would've deserved a red had play been ongoing, but it was not violent conduct, therefore the preceding off-side negates the possiblilty of a red for the foul.
