Liverpool thread 2020/21

Surely VAR was brought in to correct clear and obvious errors such as Dean today clearly not knowing the rules and awarding Liverpool a free kick instead of a drop ball??

gets more bizarre by the week the use of VAR

It's nothing close to VAR's remit. VAR doesn't correct throws given the wrong way, and this is just an error.

It should be well.
An example of a referee not knowing the rules giving a decision which leads to a goal

I thought if the error led to a goal then it was overturned, but otherwise no. Not that I’m remotely an expert!

There may be some very specific scenario but I don't know of it ( a quick free-kick, maybe?), but a corner given incorrectly wouldn't be reviewed if it led to a goal and that's far closer to this error.

Even the most self- unaware fanbase in world football must be on some level aware that within the space of 12 months they have gone from celebrating winning the league and CL to celebrating a last minute winner against WBA and a (potential) top 4 finish?

Its a Champions League Final. If they need any extra incentive there's something not right

Yep, if anything it’s extra pressure

Well done liverpool for qualifying for the champions league via the special “goalkeeping goal” route

they’re not going to shut up about it are they?

Not a patch on Jimmy Glass.

I despise Liverpool as much as anyone else on here. Especially their weird breed of fans.
But that goal gave a top 4 finish in their own hands. And we all know how much money is involved in qualifying for the Chimps League. Therefore I find no embarrassment in the way they celebrated a last minute goal by their goalkeeper and the consequences that go with it.

Now I just hope they still finish outside the top 4.

It means more to them to qualify....
