City v Liverpool - Community Shield pre-match thread

[Blueknows]

why were they not told to meet minimum requirements,,not heard this before but shocking if true

Premier League clubs have voted for Video Assistant Referee system in the Prem beginning from 2019/20 season. On Wednesday, it was confirmed the Prem clubs 'will be able to display some clips to help explain VAR decisions', as per the Sky Sports.

Manchester United and Liverpool are the only two clubs who won't show VAR replays at their stadiums next season. Old Trafford and Anfield both currently don't have a big screen.

"The Premier League has created graphics which will be displayed on giant screens to explain any VAR-related delay to a match and any over-turned decision," said a Premier League statement.

"Additionally, if the VAR believes there is a definitive video-clip which helps explain an over-turned decision to fans, it will be broadcast on giant screens. In addition, the Premier League is investigating the possibility of messages and video-clips being viewed on handheld devices via an app.

"For clubs which do not have giant screens in their stadium, VAR communications will be made via a combination of PA announcements and messages on scoreboards."

Talk Shite and Henry Winter have been brilliant. Mostly positive stuff bout City. More City talk than Liverpool talk. Henry Winter moved the conversation on to City at every opportunity.

Is it straight to pens if it's a draw?

“Liverpool have got specific reasons as to why they lose the matches they do”

Ahh ok, so it’s all planned.

All the dippers here think it’s a premier league title decider believe me.

Those deluded fuckwits would. Stones, Bravo and Otamendi in defence is a worry.

Nah Liverpool will get given a rigged penalty in the last 5 mins.

It’ll be secret at every ground UNLESS it’s a “clear and obvious” error. Which always makes me scratch my head as surely every VAR call should be clear and obvious.

At least we'll be able to see a replay of the decision on the big screen
