Who was that **** on here last weekend, posting every 30 seconds taking the piss out of anyone who was raising concerns and dismissing them as sticks in the mud who just didn't like any change? Wonder whether he's still laughing it up?Are all the var advocates still in bed?
Am I missing something here or do these rules state that our goal shouldn't have been ruled out?
• the ball goes into the goal after touching an attacking player’s hand/arm - a goal directly from a handball Llorente style?
• a player gains control/possession of the ball after it has touches their hand/arm and then scores, or creates a goal-scoring opportunity - Laporte never gained control/possesion of the ball
• the ball touches a player’s hand/arm which has made their body unnaturally bigger
• the ball touches a player’s hand/arm when it is above their shoulder (unless the player has deliberately played the ball which then touches their hand/arm) - neither are applicable
Does anybidy even know the handball rules anymore? It's all so vague at the moment it's frankly ridiculous.
Damn sure this tiny grey area will crop up when certain other teams are playing.Yep, the key word is “creates.” It cannot be said that Laporte’s handball created the goal scoring opportunity, I would say.
Except when it's a Spurs player scoring against us in the Champions League.“it is an offence if a player gains possession/control of the ball after it has touched their hand/arm and then scores in the opponents’ goal, creates a goal-scoring opportunity or scores in the opponents’ goal directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental.”

Transparency has totally gone now. How do fans know who is in the room when these decisions are being made
The problem was that it didn't leed to a goal. Jesus still had to collect the ball, turn and move across into a shooting position. Before shooting and scoring. Would agree if the ball had fallen at his feet and he had shot straight away.

Was all for VAR as I stupidly thought we would start getting all those penalties we were never given. You live and learn.
They know what they are doing. They have created the rules with enough black and white calls to rule out City goals and enough grey areas to allow Liverpool goals. They can twist it however they want. For example if it’s Liverpool they just say “the arm did not create the chance”.Damn sure this tiny grey area will crop up when certain other teams are playing.
Woul we have won the league last year without VAR. I don't think they would have given the goal at burnley without it, or was it already given before var intervened can't remember.

Said all along it would be used as a tool to manipulate results and that’s exactly what is happening. If Liverpool or the rags scored that goal yesterday it would never have been reviewed by the VAR and we would all be none the wiser regarding the “handball”.
under a previous set of laws in a different competition.
