Standard of Refereeing

[Nunkin1965]

There should be complete transparency if the organisation is marking its own homework.
The audio for decisions like yesterdays should be available for all of us to hear.

[Brend'Watkins]

They will fall back on the correct outcome was achieved in this instance so there should be no argument. 4 minutes that it took for someone to decide it looked out. So at what point of looking at it for 4 minutes did he or they decide it was out when they couldn’t be 100% sure? Utterly pathetic.

[Clive W]

Didn’t they eventually release the audio of the VR cock-up in the Spurs v Liverpool game?

I think one of the clubs insisted on it being released

[Demitri_C]

Just wish unai  would call these decisions out more. We just seem to accept it and they continue to fuck us over like OT last season

If these  were going against klopp fergie or wenger you would never hear end of it

I assume we'll be given the pictures that provided the VAR team with the evidence to determine the ball was "factually" out of play later today, but I'm not holding my breath. Even if it is out of play I think it's stretching it to say it was the same phase of play.

That's what I'm waiting for too.  Like many, I think it probably WAS out, but that's not enough.  This is a factual decision, and they say it was factually "out", so I want to see the evidence they based that one.  It sure as hell better be more than the footage we all saw, which cannot - to the millimetre - show it as definitively out.

Remember when Gary Neville showed everyone how this ball was in, despite the angle? I don't see how this incident isn't the same. 

If you're not looking at it from the top down, how can you be 100% certain that 100% of the ball has crossed 100% of the line? Again, I get how you can be pretty sure, but that is NOT what VAR is for in this instance - it has to be 100% sure.

If it is clearly shown that it was factually out of play with an angle we haven't seen, even though it will be the longest VAR pull back ever, I can just about accept it.  Even though we know it wouldn't have happened to certain other teams.
