The Liverpool VAR 'decision' was absolutely bizarre ...

Been watching the Rugby World Cup where they often go to the TMO ... they almost always get it right ... there is the odd question of subjectivity ... but haven't seen one wrong decision on the grounding of a try etc ... plus the ref is miked up so everybody hears what is being debated and the slo-mo accompanying it is showing on the big screens...

Now if they'd done that with the Liverpool incident, and left the ref to make a decision based on the footage, this bizarre outcome would have been avoided...

As I've maintained from the off, it's not the technology, it's the idiots using it and the protocols they have for the reviews ... coupled with stupidity on some rules like offside and handballs...

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

that was never the rule but yeah i never wanted Var and thought the linesmen in particular were very accurate in offside calls .

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

fk the small margins off and it’s sorted……but tv wants drama and it’s getting it in spades

 

[Fox Mulder]

Liverpool need to get over it they've had plenty go their way and you don't get endless tears for a week.

 

[brb]

We know football fans are fking hypocrites

only like when it’s suits their team…..fking knobs

Exactly! You can see Liverpool fan and my reaction here from 2019...

This is becoming utter nonsense, we shouldn't be using pinpoint accuracy to deside an offside, it's destroying the whole sportsmanship of the game.

Stfu bro

They need to get rid of this monstrocity. Players and fans will give up celebrating before long, and waiting for the VAR decision on it.

Suppose we can at least all say Liverpool cheated their way to the title, by changing 100 years of football gamemanship.

Fook off was it offside, how did his hand have an advantage, would it help if he had the oppositions cock in his hand to play it onside.

But now Liverpool are crying because a decision went against them.

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.

Except Everton fans who go to watch their side lose.

I read it as a mere apology and then brush it under the carpet is not acceptable. There needs to be some meaningful actions to improve the use of VAR?

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 is **** but the amount of crying from Liverpool as a club as opposed to just the fans is quite something. Sheffield United got relegated because of a glitch in the goal line tech and there wasn’t 1% of the hysteria.

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

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

Yeah, no one really gave a **** when we were robbed of the Arsenal game.

 

[aberdude]

thats because we fking hate Man Utd init

may view was he was offside anyway

 

[Treble]

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).
