VAR

[LeeB]

VAR or no VAR, how was that Wolves goal allowed to stand?

No idea, but if that had been a league game, all that would have happened is that the Wolves fans would have celebrated, there'd then have been a three minute delay while they checked it, and it being Aston Villa the goal would have stood.  Obviously if we'd scored it, it would have then been ruled out for both the foul and the offside and it being a bit nippy out.

From where I was, middle trinity above the tunnel it looked like a clean tackle, just sloppy play.

And he looked onside too.

In cricket the umpire refers a decision with "a soft signal" i.e. the decision the umpire would have given without support from technology.  The tech then has to be able to fundamentally prove that decision is incorrect for it to be changed.

I've tried to be positive about today's game on the pre-match thread, however regarding the refs today and the manipulated piece of technology they pretend to use, I have no confidence at all that today's game will be officiated correctly, especially as we are playing one of the "media darlings". 11 vs 13 plus the selective use of technology is going to make it very difficult for us. That said UTV as always!!

VAR will absolutely go in Liverpool's favour today, not a single doubt. We all know it.

Especially with that dick face Moss in charge.

But imagine how wonderful it will be if it goes in our favour; Klopp moaning after suffering their first defeat in god knows how many games. We're due something positive from VAR.

Could today be the day.

I admire your optimism.

You're off your rocker, but most admired.

Haha.

It's the sake I've had this afternoon, mate.

I'll be having plenty of that later too, but probably of the 'fuck' variety.

I'll be drowning in both no doubt, pal.

Shambles

I was actually quite understated with our goal as I thought VAR would be called upon ☹️  that’s what it’s come to, and for their late goals, nothing at all!!

[wittonwarrior]

In bed he first half the linesman put his flag up for a blatant offside even that was checked. What’s the point of linesman when we have secret refs

[Bobby Boy]

How long was the VAR check for our goal from the time the ball went in? 2 minutes? 3? How can a simple cross followed by a finish require 3 minutes of checking for offside?

Total farce. When fans who have a decision go their way are chanting 'Fuck VAR' then you know you have an issue.

[PeterWithe]

Really needs to go, very muted goal celebrations today.

It’s sucking the life out of the atmosphere and that will have an impact on the TV experience, which is all these fuckers care about

Fuck VAR

[LukeJames]

Just to add some balance, Firmino's 'offside' goal was ridiculous aswell, why is the linesman flagging in that situation? I was under the impression that they were to leave the flag down in those situations and send it to VAR.

Also, I dont know if it was because of my dodgy stream but it looked like VAR checked to see if Manes dive was the correct decision, yet we were told after the Palace debacle that VAR couldnt intefere in these circumstances. Its being interpreted as they go along.
