Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

The link between TV stations and VAR is very suspicious.

Especially when opinions are broadcast before decisions. Then they have a platform to question decisions if it goes against how the TV company wishes.

That point away to Fulham opening day is looking like their best result this season.

So what we are saying then is if it wasn't a televised game there would be no VAR at that match ?

All premier league matches are televised globally.

Ok they said there was less cameras at this game as it was ITV that were covering it ,had it been sky more cameras would of been used , so they must be saying the bigger the televised game the better the VAR ? .
I had assumed VAR used some sort of independent camera system if they are using sky it explains the odd decisions and why the commentators know what decision is going to be made before the ref gives it .

Their result coupled with a Spurs win today might soften the blow of a shitty weekend.

Only just bothered looking at yesterdays results. It won’t paper over anything but imagine if they had also won ?
Thank you Brighton - mentality monsters ?

What is clear is that the broadcasters can manipulate the outcome by their selection of images. Something is seriously wrong and the lack of transparency for the fans is suspicious.

What an absolute load of bollocks,isn’t it time fans of all other clubs came together and demanded the game be played on equal terms,instead of favouring those the media want winning everything at the cost of other clubs,football has changed unfortunately and VAR is a tool being used to insure certain outcomes in games,wolves won at anfield pure and simple,we can see it they can see it yet it’s somehow conveniently brushed under the carpet when it involves certain clubs,rotten to the fucking core ..

Well that’s interesting isn’t it? As you ask, why don’t all fans and teams get together and demand transparency and consistency. I suppose it’s because at the end of the day they feel the red shirts should rightfully be doing well and their clubs have little chance of winning anything anyway.

It's to the benefit of the TV companies and money makers that the red top clubs get to stay relevant because they've sold them as the best for decades since the PL kicked off. A little help for all the people overseas who have bought into the rag/scouse dream.

Klopp saying he can't remember a worse game, he must have forgotten that one against Villa when they let 7 goals in!
