You do a lot of posting on this thread - how many games do you go to? You played 38 league games and 18 cup games last season so, 56 in total. So, how many home, how many away did you do? I’m guessing... none.
@Paladin. Apologies for the shit typing, no glasses ! My point is, I saw Alverez running into the box and get the slightest of pushes before it goes out for a goal kick. The next minute the ref is trotting over to the monitor. Even me, the most biased Blue there is, is thinking no way that is a penalty. The thing is the match going fan is again left in the dark. I had to text my son who was watching on TV and he told me it was for a handball 2-3 minutes earlier. That is just stupid. Just tell us, show us on the screen like the armchair fans.The referee was asked to check it. If we had scored, then advantage would have applied and we would have a goal instead of the penalty.
Keep VAR, get rid of the useless feckers that are using it. Use it to it's full capability (like the World Cup offsides) and make it more transparent. Ensure that the match paying public know what's going on at all grounds where it's used.Put it to the fans. Then we’ll see which argument wins. What’s your thoughts? Fans will vote to have / keep VAR or fans say “No”, bin it.
This. The reluctance to embrace var or use it properly by certain clubs (and officials) speaks volumes of the lack of competence and integrity at the top of the game. Pgmol remind me of the wizard on the wizard of Oz - desperate to keep us from seeing behind the curtain.Keep VAR, get rid of the useless feckers that are using it.

1300 fans used for this report. The average home attendance for premier league games last season was 38453.
The thing about today is that the ref was stood not 5 yards from the handball & missed it. He should not need VAR to bale him out.
Shows how reliant they are on the technology. It essentially puts the control of the games in the hands of some faceless wanker in a remote portacabin.The thing about today is that the ref was stood not 5 yards from the handball & missed it. He should not need VAR to bale him out.
My lad did the same. Used the word 'blatant' and that just added to the mystery! I thought it was for the couple of nudges Alvarez got!@Paladin. Apologies for the shit typing, no glasses !

Transparency is the key - but we all know they don't want that, as it would ruin their ability to "script" matches.Keep VAR, get rid of the useless feckers that are using it.

No one had a clue near us. Never given without VARI'm at the match (unlike the spammer) ot looked a clear handball so why did it take so long to give it?
The argument that iit hadn't gone out of play is ludicrous. Var should be able to tell the useless fuck and it should ne awarded
If we get to see behind the curtain then PiGMOL, the PL and the FA know the cat will be well and truly out of the bag and up in CBL3 screaming at the abortion of officiating that's taking place down below!This.

I've said previously that I don't think Klanfield meets the same standards as every other ground, and I think the PL are turning a blind eye to it.Transparency is the key - but we all know they don't want that, as it would ruin their ability to "script" matches.
For a start, Liverpool v Wolves... no big screen at Klanfield and VAR blind-spots... how can this be allowed?
When they decided to implement VAR any ground without a large screen should have been made to add one, and all grounds in the PL should have been checked to make sure there were no "blind spots".
We should also be able to hear what the referee does and what he says - like the rugby... on a live televised match, like our today - any check with VAR, they should be able to show live feed of Stockley Park.
So?They were missing these decisions prior VAR
They are both offside. Anyone that played the game at even the lowest level agrees…..Get what you're saying about the cross being right at Salah, that feels offside to me, at any rate.
City's was a pass forward from a city player, it was then controlled by Ming's and immediately robbed. However, I've just remembered, they subsequently changed the rules to stop this or something. I can't really fathom why Salah's counted.
No one at the match thought it a clear handball…. Im embarrassed for you…I'm at the match (unlike the spammer) ot looked a clear handball so why did it take so long to give it?

IncorrectRules have not changed. Salah goal should have been allowed.
