    I'm yet to be convinced that the Var team even looked at the offside at all .

    If they went for the old rule of daylight between players then none of this should be happening…..fk sake looking for toes elbows is a fking joke and taking goals away from the game

    I agree

    Searching for ****ing pixels to rule it offside

    On the flip side, there was a game we scored and were BLATANTLY offside. It took them a good 5 minutes to flag it

    Idiotic

    The rule was always to give the advantage to the attacker. Level meant on.

    Offside rule is to prevent an attacker gaining significant advantage, or at least it was.

    VAR is being used to look for reasons to disallow goals, including in offside situations, which surely goes against what football is all about ffs. People go to football to see goals and teams win, that's the whole idea.

    They've ****ed it up royally. It isn't used correctly in any situation as far as I can see.

    I've always maintained the position that one day a British Football Club will take these errors through the courts - afterall it's big business now, especially with the Saudi and American money, not forgetting previously that of Russia.

    So when I read that article much as you said, they are not going to let them sweep it under the carpet, it got my curiosity if they would get lawyers involved.

    Afterall every point counts these days, especially when up against the likes of Man City, as has been pointed out on here, it cost Sheffield United relegation, but they like most relegated clubs will get parachute payments.

    But when it comes to losing a Champions League place, some clubs might want to start taking these errors a bit more seriously, and taking the bantz out of it, Liverpool have never been shy in coming forward when it comes to legality.

    VAR was perfectly fine before Saturday. But this means more now.

    The very integrity of the game is at stake, y'all!

    Tbh what happened to Livpl is the one silver lining for keeping VAR.

    T'was glorious.

    As is the LFC overdrive into playing the victim again (and no this is no reference to any real tragedies, but their constant whining about every fcking thing that all other clubs have to deal with).
