BOTH DECISIONS ARE CORRECT. If City were adversely affected by these decisions, there'd be even more cry babies on here
I don't care how long it takes.
If you're worried about time, get an independent time keeper in (another hope of mine).

VAR (in all sports) works 99% of the time.

Agreed, can’t understand why many don’t want the correct decisions to be made.

It was a penalty and was it was offside. Simple as.

The process needs refining and I'm sure it will be, but it's served it's purpose.

Those bringing grey areas into the debate, like he was only 3 inches offside, are missing the point entirely. It's designed to remove as much doubt as possible.

At last some sense. I hate the dippers as much as anyone, but both VAR decisions were correct. It's a great example of how refereeing errors can decide matches... 2 match changing decisions incorrect in a few minutes. while not perfect, it's taking too long in its current format, surely the most important thing is to get more things right, which it has!

If the Barry offside hadn't been given against us, I'd have been going mad. Same if the penalty wasn't given to us.....
 
That's why this VAR version is never gonna work, its still just down to somebody's interpretation of an incident which doesnt technically make anything more correct or fairer. Its also taking an age, stopping the play and taking away the drama of a game. I'd scrap it and just just keep goal line and ball going out of play etc technology.

The trouble was if that VAR penalty is technically right - as it was - then there might be 10 in every game as that sort of touch happens over and over but rarely gets given because of the theatrical reaction of the attacker.

If that is now overlooked by VAR then this will be a cricket score.

And games will end at midnight.

It was used because Liverpool appealed both decisions.
 
It needs stopping right now, nobody knows how to use it correctly & it will favour certain teams because it's STILL in the hands of the bent Cnut in the middle .
 
All VAR will do is see players exaggerating every single bit of contact (more so than now) in hope that the ref will take a look at it. That penalty on Salah just shown that.

Also true. I just don’t like how the Liverpool players complained and he reviewed it.
 
We have skillful players who get fouled VAR should help us though Otas will have to watch himself
 
I thought the point was, the bloke in the studio contacts for ref when he thinks there has been an error, players shouldn't be asking, it should be for offsides and penalty decisions, not every shirt pull etc. The last one took 3 min because the ref had to go and look himself, so why have the bloke in the studio when a fourth official can look at the monitor pitch side. Needs some refining before it's right.
