What is the damned point then?

Precisely

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

They don’t over rule the fucking refs Karen. They haven’t done so once this season on penalty decisions, for any team.

What is the f*cking point of it then?

It's supposed to cancel out 'clear and obvious errors', as the Silva penalty shout was. If the 'unofficial' policy is to 'never' disagree with the on field referee (as it appears to be), there is no point to VAR, unless it is being used to look for reasons not to give goals for certain teams.

The FA couldn't have made the implementation of VAR look any more corrupt if they'd tried.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

It’s good to see Gareth Barry back.

They don’t over rule the fucking refs Karen. They haven’t done so once this season on penalty decisions, for any team.

They are still ens,why bother even doing the review if they are not going to over turn it,,salad shirt barely touched =pen,stand on daves foot = no pen,selective shite

 

[buckshot]

It’s been discussed at ridiculous length in the var thread.

Var is very unlikely to ever over rule a ref on a subjective decision like a penalty. It’s not happened once in the league this season.

I feel like this needs to be saved because you know the first chance they have to deny points for City they'll give one the other way.

 

[FantasyIreland]

So why review it then?

Shits and giggles?

Precisely

 

[The blue phantom]

They absolutely will when Liverpool need the points. 100%

Yep, And shitloads on here said the same thing would be used to solely help the Rags. Now that theory went out of the window big time yesterday, so now everyone's moved on to its here to help the scousers.

 

[mat]

We have to score 3 a game minimum to neutralise VAR.

 

[The perfect fumble]

It’s official, by the way, I am getting a tattoo of David on my chest. ;-)

And Marriner on your arse?

 

[2sheikhs]

Do you really truly believe none of of our players go down easily just because they wear blue?

If I wore spectacles, I'd be peering over the top of them at you now.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

I'm from Denmark, and therefore watch the game with Danish commentators.. And they are really shocked there was no pen. One is asking, why did we want VAR, if it can't make correct and fair decisions.. What are they saying in England?

they're saying that David clearly handled it in the build up then punched their defender first

 

[ballinio]

Hinchcliffe sees everything that city do as sinister !! Its his word of the day

Sold his soul that shithouse wanker

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Mahrez will score!

 

[heslops barnet]

Fans in good voice

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

We need another here, I just don’t trust us getting fucked over.

VAR has actually injected excitement back into our games! We should be enjoying it - it’s like we’ve gone up a level in a video game and we’re still smashing it!

 

[TheThirdDeano]

I feel like this needs to be saved because you know the first chance they have to deny points for City they'll give one the other way.

What do you mean saved?
It's already happened twice:- the sterling offside and the laporte Handball.

Especially the Laporte goal, they took 2 minutes to rule the goal out. They were looking for anything and they found something.

 

[SWP's back]

If VAR isn’t overturning any penalty decision why bother reviewing them.

Why review it then?

So why review it then?

Shits and giggles?

Because they can’t decide if a “CLEAR AND OBVIOUS” error has happened without reviewing it.

But the bar is so high to meet the ‘clear and obvious’ rule that I’ve got zero idea what must happen to over rule the ref. It’s why var is fucking useless. But it’s useless in that respect for every team so far this season hence it’s useless, not bent.

The ref not giving it in the first place is the cûnt that’s bent.

 

[OntarioBlue]

I think Rodri has had more touches and successful passes in the last ten minutes than Ilkay had the entire time he was on.

He is pure quality. Great signing.

 

[SebastianBlue]

And Marriner on your arse?

Wouldn’t waste the bile on him.

 

[SWP's back]

What is the damned point then?

Fucking none.
