Well b back 3,190 Posted October 17, 2020 ? Or maybe they can, after the season where they got every decision going and laughed at everyone else, they have written to the premier league bringing into question VAR. They are demanding an explanation as to why Pickford wasn’t sent off and which part of Manes body was offside. Only months ago they were praising it, strange how things change when results aren’t going quite as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real Buh 3,423 Posted October 17, 2020 I feel literally zero remorse for them. I think what happened to them to today is absolutely hilarious. If they get mugged off with VAR every game this season I’ll laugh every single time. Karma is a b1tch. I hope they go out of business. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Klopp has a point about today but this was the time to bring it up. Typical Liverpool after all their good fortune they complain on the one occasion it goes against them, if you want to be taken serious you need to back others.

That VAR abomination still makes me shudder at the ineptude of the officials and the technology too. One of the best goals you'll ever see. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted October 17, 2020 I think it was Jordan Henderson who said, and don’t laugh, but the VAR people can ‘bend the lines’ to make the decision go whatever way they like, he’s seen it himself apparently. I do think it’s corrupt as hell but that might be a touch too far! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a picture of this one for us where you can clearly see that the ball has left Vrancic's boot so had it been wound back to when he kicked it, Pukki would have been on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,547 Posted October 18, 2020 From the stats I can find for last season, Liverpool’s opponents had 4 goals disallowed by VAR while Liverpool had 3 disallowed. They also had one allowed that been disallowed for a foul. They were up by +2 over the season so that’s not a massive advantage for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well b back 3,190 Posted October 18, 2020 Hi Mr Angry What you must remember is last year Liverpool were telling the likes of us like it or lump it and questioning why we would want to challenge VAR. The time to bring it into question to get it changed is when it happens to other clubs ie Steve Bruce questioning the new penalty rules. Liverpool could have got involved in the process when Pukki’s goal was disallowed or the Sheffield United goal against Villa wasn’t given, they chose to say VAR was fit for purpose. If I remember back we were told we had signed contracts stopping us issuing challenges to VAR, but clearly those same rules do not apply to Liverpool.

I completely agree with everything you wrote. But I still don't like seeing players being injured, whoever the club. Not sure why anyone would celebrate that personally.

Didn’t think so. This was astonishing . It hardly got a mention on BT . It was a red all day long . As was the Keeper on Virgil. Both of these decisions were inept . The offside however isn’t inept it is reliance on dodgy technology. I did this to death after Pukki’s goal but the facts remain that you can’t base a linear decision on lines across a pitch that you don’t have the technology to achieve . All other usages of Hawkeye are linear- tennis cricket and goaline where the static cameras have a narrow field. The half of a football field is entirely different . You cannot look along a line of an infinite number of lines of a pitch . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,513 Posted October 18, 2020 Good luck to you all with this. I'm just glad to see the back of VAR. At least football is now only available on tv which is what VAR is for. The longer it goes on for the less influence the fans in the stadium will have when they return. This pandemic is manna from heaven for the VARbots. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most managers will be inconsistent over refereeing decisions depending on whether they go for against their team. My point is that there seems to be a perception that Liverpool benefitted from loads of VAR decisions last season. They didn’t. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,286 Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) I still don’t get VAR, only foot could use it and balls it up! Works well in all other sports, just hope as Nutty we never see it as it is again. Really needs to be sorted out for what it should be used clear and obvious errors, only challenged by the manager. Villa got three points for what should have been a clear and obvious error which was the last straw in my supporting of VAR. As for Liverpool it was a terrible tackle on Van **** could be a career ender and yet no red card because it was offside, yet Buendia got sent off after play had carried on to another phase last year for an elbow tap. Its truly shocking VAR. Edited October 18, 2020 by Indy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their squad throughout is looking a hell of a lot stronger than Liverpool’s right now. Lose just Salah and they’ll finish mid table - a bit below Jamal Lewis’s Newcastle, which would be quite frankly bloody hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
