Var debate 2019/20

Every top team has been done now and I must admit we were all waiting for the Scousers turn, Today it came.

It is the nature of football and that is not to say everything evens itself out.

If you are a pool fan you would be moaning about the decisions today, matip non-pen against Newcastle and the Mane overhead kick blocked by two hands against Chelsea.

We also have a number of reasons to be cheesed off like the Silva pen, Spurs Farce with Var as do other clubs.

It is a very imperfect system that is proving useless across the board.
 
VAR is shite.

The first rag goal should not have stood as it is a foul. Fuck the bar being high, what is the point in reviewing it if they are not going to look at mistakes?

VAR ref doesnt need to over rule, he needs to ask the ref to go check the possible foul and its all good and well we keep hearing they will not use the screen at the side of the pitch.....why the fuck not?

Mane goal ruled out correctly but why wasn't Deli's goal yesterday?

VAR is fucking being used incorrectly and imo its being used to suit.

lets not forget that yes, Liverpool got one against them today but it wasn't Southampton that gained or Burnley....it was the Rags.

The same rags that got absolutely shafted by Var at home v Palace when Martial was brought down in a game they lost.

Like I said mate Var is effecting every team.

I'm not saying it isn't.

Yes three hours ago it was being used to stop City and help Liverpool now its helping United. No consistency at all to the arguments.

Anyway at least you turned up on the thread where as others, who if Pool had got the decisions, would be swarming all over now shouting bias and corruption.

Both VAR decisions were spot on this time.

It was handball in the build up to goal (although the new rule is nonsense IMO!).

And I thought football still is a contact sport, no?
Lindelof barely touched Origi's shin pad who went down in agony, cheat.
It was the same slight touch when Mané was cheating for the penalty vs Leicester.
Both situations are definitely NO fouls. It's simply not enough. Ref and VAR have seen it correctly, this time.

A body contact doesn't automatically mean to be a foul, it depends on the impact.

it was a clear foul on Origi. How can anyone watch that back and think no foul. Beggars belief!! However it was in our favour today so happy days!!

Sorry pal but that’s bollocks. He kicks his calf clearly and it was a blatant foul. I’m glad they didn’t overturn it but if that had been us we would be livid.

Lol, Ffs mate just come on and say yeh Scousers copped for a bad decision. Is it that hard?

Debatable foul, but if you look carefully the lad got toe poked on the inside of his left knee and was squirming on the floor holding his right ankle.
Maybe the VAR team saw this for what it was!!

Blatant foul?, nope. A soft contact you can ignore. Has no influence on Origis movement.
He was already going down waiting for the touch.

I'll try to get some footage. But I guess we simply can't agree, both of us surprised about the other one...

EDIT: I even think Origi has seen he was losing the ball after his bad 1st touch seeing McTominay advancing and decides to nearly die after THAT soft impact. Try to hit your own calf and feel what it does, nowt.
I won't be fooled by that. No way.

Not one but TWO VAR decisions against Liverpool.
Well that's blown the debate wide open .

Why were there 2 decisions against Liverpool ? the first was not a foul, certainly not enough to get the over exaggerated dive he took so the referee ignored it and then a perfectly good goal was scored. The second he clearly used his arm to control the ball. Hell VAR would have really been shot down in flames if they hadn't made the correct decision on that one. After the weekend they have had VAR couldn't very well give that as a goal, they would have been laughed out of town so it is hardly 2 decisions against Liverpool.

I thought so, but the fact we are disagreeing may suggest it wasn’t a clear and obvious error and that’s why it wasn’t overturned. I do think though any ref who watched that back would 9 times out of 10 give a free kick there.
 
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.
But with VAR it's easy to give. Sorry, my mistake not one penalty decision has been reversed with VAR. Not one. It beggars believe.

So let me get this right, you thought Var made the correct decision regarding the first rag goal?
