fouls are all subjective, however offsides aren't, and they're all correct.

As to Liverpool, ref was obviously giving them the cards they should've got last week.

Overall I'd still prefer to VAR than not having it, the main issue tonight was that VAR wasn't used when it should have been (the on field team gave it offside and that should have been corrected) so those opposed to VAR should be happy? Obviously I'm being facetious but I think there are fewer terrible decisions now it's just that there's fewer excuses for them happening but with the amount of media these days I think to leave it all in the hands of a referee would be to absolutely throw them to the wolves.

Fans don't help with some of the responses though. Talk of vendettas and conspiracies all boil down to fan-bases who think they're important enough to have an entire system set up to combat them doing well (and yes this week it is Liverpool fans with this sort of rhetoric but over the season it ends up being most fans, and Newcastle fans are as bad as most) - it's honestly embarrassing and pathetic for grown people to talk like that. The officials messed up and it's not good enough, it's incompetence though. Nothing more. All teams get stung by it regularly but most fans only notice it when it's against their own teams.

I think VAR fails to achieve its intended outcomes.

I'm not against tech improving the game, but VAR doesn't. It just adds another layer of subjectivity

And weighing up the benefits vs the negatives, I don't think VAR does anywhere near enough to justify its continued use.

The best bit of MOTD is reminding Liverpool fans that wasn't a sending off, that goal should have stood, and Spurs took all 3 points <laugh>

Utd fans just happy that the Liverpool game took the heat off of their abject performance

Fair play to Klopp, that was a very fair response he gave there. I was expecting tears and drama but he was measured and reasonable, caught me by surprise but that was the Klopp I remember from a few years back who was really likeable.

It was the club's and fans that moaned about the incorrect decisions and couldn't accept that it evens itself out, we now have a computer and multiple officials ****ing it up weekly. There's probably a place for technology, goal line works well but VAR has failed. To say you still want it is quite frankly astonishing.

Hmmmm you think it evened itself out? ... how many seasons went by without a penalty been given against United at Old Trafford under Fergie? ... how many times did Arsene Wenger say 'I didn't see it' about blatantly obvious decisions not given against Arsenal?

Evens out my arse ...<laugh>

VAR was a great opportunity to level the playing field - particularly against the Sky 6 bias / benefit given ... unfortunately it is failing because it is being operated by idiots ... and therein lies the real problem now ... not the technology itself ...

I think people need to accept that there is always going to be an element of human interpretation in the decision making process and accept that there will be errors. For the sake of the game, just let the on field ref get on with it.

Tbh we only got VAR cos of whiney bitches like you.

Remember you hissy fit after you bottle top 4 to us by losing 3 nil?



Or when you lost 2-1 to City on New years day?

You whined for days instead of accepting there may be human errors.
