I understand your opinion perfectly.
You would rather have a team win 1-0 instead of losing 1-0 because of two wrong on field decisions by officials than have a match take a few minutes longer before it finishes.

Correct

EDIT - Although it’s obviously not how long it takes to finish that I’m bothered about in its own right. It’s the length of time between ball going in the net and a final decision on whether it’s a goal that bothers me.

Rugby League seems to be able to manage it on a big screen, why can't football with all those extra millions

Someone earlier said that despite the screen it’s making the atmosphere at live rugby worse.
It’s all designed to be good for people watching on telly. It makes it worse if you’re in the ground, but they couldn’t really give a **** about those of us that are.

It works in Tennis and Cricket because those sports have natural breaks which are slightly lengthened by the review process but where the tension and excitement are not compromised. In other words there is already dead time before a serve or a bowl; a review doesn't change the essential dynamic of the play.

That's not the case in rugby or football where any review becomes an artificial stop in play, thus breaking the tension or excitement of the game.


This was ****ing obvious when VAR was first muted; it's not changed. It just goes to show that the professional administrators of FIFA / Premier League etc know nowt about football.

Klopp really is a stereotypical Scouser.

Imagine how many games would be replayed each season?

Always the victims.


Jurgen Klopp has called for Liverpool's match against Tottenham to be replayed after the VAR failed to award Luis Diaz's goal which was ruled out for offside.

Klopp said: "It's really important that as big as football is and important as football is we deal with it in a proper way.

"All the people involved, the on-field referee, linesman, fourth official and especially in this case VAR, didn't do that on purpose. It was an obvious mistake and I think there would have been solutions for it afterwards.

Some people probably don't want me to say, but not as the manager of Liverpool so much, more as a football person, the only outcome should be a replay. That's how it is. It probably will not happen."


Whiny ****

I hope they replay it, spurs win10 nil and klopp can moan about fixture congestion.

they can. it would have enabled the referee to understand what had gone on rather than rely on snippets of conversation.
it looks like they were following a rule that says you cant stop once the game has restarted
the original cock up was saying "check complete" which seems to mean "no intervention by VAR" rather than "we've finished looking at what happened and there was no offside so the goal stands"

All someone has to state is the fact. E.g. state 'onside'. ****ing hell, how difficult can they make it.

Leicester 1-0 Preston after 60 mins. De Montfort Hall scored for Leic ;)
Not sure if that is good or bad news for us, other than Ipswich are no longer top and Preston haven't increased the gap over us. (if Leicester go on to win).
