Go on then, point out the exact point.
So wild to think Neville and Carragher are also backing us for the pen Rodri should have earned, how the goal should have stood, and how this is a huge problem of consistency that is rather outrageous and ruining the value of VAR, because it is specifically there for "fairness" and yet clearly it can have the opposite impact.
Neville is thinking just what I was in that the VAR ref seems afraid to award a pen for contact, (also see the pull on Laporte's shirt as before) and what I have to say is then compare that to the lightest of inadvertent touches of an attackers arm or hand (that of course with a ball coming in at pace will deflect far away) that VAR will punish the attacker. That is a VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, and yet sadly won't until next season, if ever.
I think it HAS to be CLEAR AND OBVIOUS that it DIRECTLY and immediately led to a goal.
Jesus still had plenty of work to do before scoring, which I suspect was his beef and for very good reason, as he didn't hit it one time.
Llorente's goal came from directly hitting his hand. That HAS to be a difference than a deflection that sends a ball to an attacker who then has to dribble inside past defenders and shoot.
SIDE NOTE: Plenty of USA sport fans actually hate "Instant replay" more than you think and don't enjoy it as drama. It's gotten rather out of hand and I feel has become overly invasive. In fact, one of the reasons I enjoy football is that it does not have constant interruptions and breaks. The free flowing nature is what makes the sport good, and I admit, I have been a proponent of VAR.
VAR needs to be used more sparsely and carefully.
The idea of giving managers a limited number challenges could help prevent it from happening every single goal and less likely to constantly undermine the free flowing nature of the sport or the excitement of a winning goal.
