Compared to the one Mane got in their last game it was as stone wall as they come
Probably wont happen in this game but it’s nailed on the Dippers will be the first to benefit from an overturned penalty decision.
A global audience of several hundred billion and the fucking mugs don't realise that the outcome has been predetermined.
And Riley, when asked to explain why VAR overruled the referee in that particular case whilst ignoring all other suspect or plainly incorrect referee decisions thus far, will say “we have listened to the feedback from the fans, clubs, and media and have integrated that in to officiating the biggest match of the season. However, it appears that everyone is unhappy with this new approach, so we will revert to the previous one for the remainder of the season. Now, please excuse me while I count the... err, documents in these completely not suspicious brown envelopes I have just been handed.”Well you can expect that to be overturned at old Trafford today with a scouse penalty via var.
I think you underestimate the influence the Rags still have, this is one game where the Dippers don't have an unfair advantage via dodgy officials.A global audience of several hundred billion and the fucking mugs don't realise that the outcome has been predetermined.
Just watched the unsuccessful Deulofeu penalty claim on MOTD against Tottenham. A ridiculous decision which affected the game’s outcome.
On present practice VAR is too being used in a binary way: to either back up or overturn a referee’s decision. Guess what? But it’s supposed to assist the ref - hence the “A” in VAR. I’m pretty sure if that ref had had the opportunity to review pitch-side, he’d have awarded the penalty.
I would replace our refs with referees from Italy, France and Germany. The main problem is our current crop of refs are poor and their cronies in the VAR studies are too pally with them to correct the refs mistakes.
WWE have got away with it for years the millions that watch it know it's predetermined but it's still entertainment.A global audience of several hundred billion and the fucking mugs don't realise that the outcome has been predetermined.
Actually it’s quite the opposite. VAR stands for Video Assistant Referee, a match official who reviews video footage of the game. ‘It’ is therefore a sentient being. Not only that, in every other league that uses a VAR, all those decisions yesterday would have been reviewed on the field by the actual referee.

EDIT: Same with the KDB incident, but I’m sure that’s already had good coverage on here.
I was thinking recently as well;
this whole not wanting to overrule the red is bullshit.
the ref gave the goal against Tottenham and then it was overruled by VAR And ruled out.
it’s an excuse they hide behind to not give decisions they should have but didn’t want to.
Sorry mate, I won’t reply to you again. Cheers.I’m more referring to the use of language. The post I quoting was clearly referring to the system and process rather than person. Thanks for your input though.
You are such a WUM. Entire pub yesterday in real time including fans of other clubs all said penalty. There is no reasonable explanation for not giving it in real time nor after a review. Only logical explanation is the refs are either useless, bent or both. We get it and after watching Pep’s post match interview he gets it. You are the only one who doesn’t.It was hardly the biggest error in the world, just being ridiculously promoted on here as if it was the gravest of errors to suit the narrative.
In real time it would have been a very difficult decision to make.

Always said that title winning season stinks. One day maybe it might come out in the wash, just hope I am still around to be vindicated.If you read select musings about their title winning season, the fix has been in for longer than a day.
100% agreed!It's also so obvious because sometimes they (Sky or BT) split the screen and show us what VAR is looking at... There were also a couple of moments in the CL last year when the ref went over to watch the screen, and the VAR camera split on the BT was perfect synchronised.... Which proves that the broadcasters have a live VAR feed which shows what's being looked at in the room in real time.
So why do they sometimes show the camera? And sometimes not...?
The answer is, like I think you mean the Laporte "handball", the VAR room are watching all kind of replays angles to FIND a reason to rule the goal out. Hence long delay and no live VAR feed....
According to match of the day there hasn't been a single decision overturned in favour of the attacking team for the whole season. IE the bar for "clear and obvious" is so high that it will only be implemented about once a season, if that. We attack more than every team bar Liverpool, and that's why we are especially attuned to how it's playing out. Put another way, it's not a conspiracy but we are "victims" of the way the system has been implemented.
