Lad behind us got a text that Sterling was onside for his goal at least 30 seconds before ref gave it
They gotta speed it up
Joke that he checked Phil's goal

8 Var reviews.
7 goals
6 subs
2 added minutes

I think the game was over well before then anyway, but that's not the point.

He should have played the correct amount of time (30 seconds per substitution, 30 per goal, plus the VAR farce). Even if he stopped the clock for VAR it still should have been at least 5 minutes at the end of the second half.
 
VAR and the officials using it are turning the game I love into a bore fest. What is the point of celebrating a goal anymore ? By the time we scored the 4th I was so pissed off with it all as it was becoming a joke. the second goal was reviewed for 2.45 seconds.
 
best thing that happened to football since Guardiola decided to become a manager. I seriously think anyone who doesn't like it is bit thick.

I don't give a shit how long it takes as long as decision is right. And it's almost perfectly right each time, unless some decision that has to be viewed differently by different people as rules are not perfect.

Brilliant, brilliant stuff.
 
why cant they show the replays on the screen at the ground as they do with cricket and tennis? Keeps the crowd involved and would actually add to the excitement.

I think it is only the timing what winds people up and I was at the match tonight and it's pretty frustrating when you cheer a goal once and then stop and wait and then sometimes cheer again.
One thing I think would be a good idea would be to use the sensors that players have in their vest in the middle of their back that they use for performance stats connected to the VAR system for offsides. It would speed up the offsides which seem to be the worst culprit for slowing the game down.
Obviously that would mean changing the rules so it doesn't matter which part of your body is offside, only the sensor.

Add to the excitement alright. If they showed the hand ball, given against PSG, there would of been a riot.
Likewise for the two penalties, schalke, were awarded at theirs.
If we could listen to the discussion surrounding the decisions , that may help, but showing 50,000 people,the video, culminating in a ludicrous decision, can only end in tears.
 
It might work ok tv but at the game it takes way to long. VAR is used if the ref makes an obvious mistake ref gave us 4 goals but someone somewhere thought tge ref had made an obvious mistake and ordered VAR than had to back the ref as he made the correct call. So who is the invisible man calling for VAR ??
 
Absolutely love it.

Last seasons Liverpool farces almost made me walk away from the sport as what's the point in getting emotionally invested only for an idiot or cheater to undermine performances?

Let them take 10 mins per decision if it means the right call is made. They'll get faster and refine it.

I agree more transparency would make sense(micing ref, showing in stadium etc) but this is a great start. Last year we lose 2 of those goals to ineptitude.

No he should not have.

It's called mercy. Continuing the game 5 seconds longer was in nobodies interest.

If he played 4 mins and Sterling took a knock you'd be blaming the ref ffs.

Unless you think he denied Schalke of a chance to comeback, give over.
 
Two of the lads I sit with were talking about sacking their season tickets off last night if this is how it's going to be match in match out. That was fucking shite last night (the VAR obviously, not the performance).

Because they don't want the live crowd to influence the decision pr

Not sure where it says in the laws of the game that if a tam is getting battered the ref can show mercy and blow early. If that was the case then why didn't the ref blow for full time at half time.
 
Don't like it but concede- that providing the camera angles are correct it works for offside because that's a factual, however it cannot be used got penalty decisions because that's interpretative and down to human intervention and judgment. Anything can look like a foul or deliberate handball if slowed down and not in context. And no matter how we are told otherwise - nobody is 100% impartial.

It's that whole letter of the law thing.

Similar to when Aguero was taken out in the first few seconds of the Chelsea game in what should have been a sending off, and probably would have been later in the game. Imagine if Chelsea had then gone on to beat us when they should have been down to 10-men.

The laws are the laws, and should be applied equally and fairly; added time is no exception.

We know that won't happen in the PL. PiGMOL are implementing their unlawful version.

Well if we are name calling I think you are a silly sausage. VAR is crap. It was introduced to correct 'clear and obvious errors'. Citys second goal took 2 mins. 45 seconds to review, that is not correcting a clear and obvious error, that is getting a rule out and measuring millimetres. It totally spoils the enjoyment of match going fans. What is the point of jumping up and hollering at the top of your voice that Pep/City/Aguero are effin amazing 3 minutes after he scored ? I may as well wait for the highlights at 11pm.
 
Just watched the game again, approximately 11 n half minutes for var and goals(goal scored to restart) should have been 3 minutes for subs(6 x 30 seconds per sub) and about 3 minutes for injuries(Eric and Danny)
About 17 n half minutes lost out of normal play yet only 2 minutes injury time added on is a joke

Edit: add to this that the ball is only in play on average for about 60 minutes, think us fans are being short changed

As I sad I don't give a shit how long it takes. I wouldn't at WHL when they were scoring offside goals like on track few years too. It's important to call it right and rest is fine and will be better with time.
