Var debate 2019/20

We’ve been told all season , touches the arm , deliberate or not it’s a pen , we’ve had to take the Laporte disallowed goal because it’s the new rule .
2 blatant ones at Anfield & the pen today denied because ‘it wasn’t deliberate’ , stick the game up your arse i’m Finished .

We haven't, but we've been told an equally farcical version.

If the ball accidentally hits a DEFENDER's arm - no pen.
If the ball accidentally hit an ATTACKER's arm - no goal.


So, 2 players, standing side by side, adhering to 2 different laws. Absolutely farcical.

Cut to Europe and that today IS a penalty.

I hope that what comes out of this is IFAB going for the throat of PiGMOB and them being fucked off from the game for good.

My personal opinion is that it's not a penalty, but also, I don't think Jesus' goal vSpurs should ever be ruled out, either.


Still, I'd fuck VAR right off, what a load of toss.

If the ref goes and looks at it today on the monitor and says ive made a mistake and chalks it off im pissed but i get on with it.

Some twat sat in Stockley Park with untold influence in his ear that we dont know about does it and they can fuck right off.
 
Yes there was a penalty, yes VAR is sh*t. But we just can blame it anymore... We need to face it, we just play bad. I don’t know what the problem is, but we had this game 2:1. We just couldn’t hold the ball. Palace had 3 shots on target and 2 goals... ffs! Pep need to change something, maybe sign some players... For me Mahrez had to start... also we should really fix our defense before the RM game...
 
When are these twats at PiGMOL going to be made to use the fucking system as it was intended and not how they choose to implement it ?

Riley and his acolytes need to be made to do as instructed or fucked off totally.

Just because we didn't play well does not excuse var decisions that we don't get when our rivals do,it's a mixture this season,aside from the dippers every fan base sings fuck var,i was very for it but it's taking corruption to a whole new level

But lets say it doesn't matter eh
 
What has become clear to me after today's result is that it is clear that VAR takes the excitement out for football, for me at least. And by VAR I want to be very clear, it is not the technology I have an issue with, it is the inconsistent use of and cloak and dagger hidden decision making process. They're officiating the game from behind a TV screen, changing the rules game by game and taking our money for the trouble.

The highs aren't as high, the but the lows aren't as low either. If we'd have dropped points against palace last season or the season before, I'd be annoyed for days. Today, not helped by a patchy city performance admittedly, but when that VAR call for the penalty was made I just switched off emotionally from what was going on.

And that's what is annoying me more than the result. It's a really sad state of affairs when you can't enjoy a two goal comeback, ok I didn't know at the time it wasn't going to be enough, but I just felt, unattached.

That's our modern game. That's football. They had a golden goose and they've bloody well plucked it bare. And let's be clear again,it isn't the technology, it's the humans using that technology.
 
I hate VAR and want it gone but today's penalty just isn't a penalty.

HANDLING THE BALL

It is an offence if a player:
  • deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, including moving the hand/arm towards the ball
  • 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
  • scores in the opponents’ goal directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper
It is usually an offence if a player:

  • touches the ball with their hand/arm when:
    • the hand/arm has made their body unnaturally bigger
    • the hand/arm is above/beyond their shoulder level (unless the player deliberately plays the ball which then touches their hand/arm)
The above offences apply even if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from the head or body (including the foot) of another player who is close.

Except for the above offences, it is not usually an offence if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm:

  • directly from the player’s own head or body (including the foot)

Why was our winning goal v Spurs ruled out then ? None of that applies if you’re Liverpool

So, 2 players, standing side by side, adhering to 2 different laws. Absolutely farcical.
Accidental handball can still be awarded as a penalty if the arm is in an unnatural place , makes the body wider. So if the ref today awarded that a pen, why does the VAR ref overrule it? As clearly that is not a clear and obvious error? Either the people.in stockley Park don't know the rules and are incompetant. Or they are corrupt.

Before I get slaughtered for this I want to add to that I'm a referee in schoolboy football. When we done the seminar last September on the law change with regards handball we were shown around 10 examples similar or even more obvious than today's and at least 95% of the room said they would award penalties in all the examples. Under last season's laws that would have been given but under the latest laws it is the correct decision.

The winner against Spurs was farcical, I have said that else where that the VAR guys getting out microscopes to find reasons to rule out goals is not in the spirit of the game.

If you can show me an example Liverpool of being awarded a penalty (this season) after a defender deflected the ball on to his own hand or arm then I will donate £50 to a charity of your choice.

Or a combination of all three , but if pushed I would say the last option - as a £9 note .

It’s not what they are awarded , it’s what teams playing them are NOT awarded, that’s where the cheating lies

What would we do without you telling us we are wrong on different threads,spurs fan you say...

Accidental handball can still be awarded as a pen if the hand is in an unnatural position. The Palace player had his arm out horizontally surely that is unnatural??

You could virtually catch it and it wouldn't be given if it was deflected off your own body. The position of the arms is irrelevant in these circumstances.
