Why wouldn’t the refs want the crowd to hear their discussion about a decision if they have nothing to hide? All this secrecy only adds to the many conspiracy theories currently in circulation, and it’s not a surprise.

Surely it helped us yesterday as they was barely anything in the Firmino "goal."
But it didn't. On pitch officials made the decision VAR check would have only helped Liverpool.

Well I’m convinced that VAR missed 3 penalties in that Everton Spurs match.

VAR has missed more penalties than JPA, and that’s saying something.

The injury for Gomez is a horrible one but I find the red for Son very harsh, it was a foul and a yellow imo. PGMOL have said the severity of the injury played a part in the decision to give a red which is bonkers imo.

I agree red was harsh.

I had actually assumed Son had been booked for his laughable dive 10 minutes before (was nearly as bad as Mane's) so thought it was a second yellow.

VAR won't improve radically until they have competent refs on the pitch AND behind the screens -something I can't see happening anytime soon.

Every weekend you think it can't possibly be as bad as the one before, yet every week they actually make worse decisions.  They must genuinely be trying to nobble it, it can be the only explanation for the unremitting shitness of the experiment.

Exactly. I’ve gone from firmly in favour to sack the lot.

Think Risso is right, did the referees even want it brought in ?  The Precious tw*ts were scared it would undermine them or diminish their authority weren't they?

I’ve thought the same for a few weeks. They think it undermines them so are doing their utmost to make it fail. Twenty first century luddites.

One thing to be said for VAR - it's fantastic for referee job creation! Does it really take two of them to make decisions as mind boggling as they do?!

Before long there'll be more refs than players!
