Yeah. I begrudge paying 17.5% on a packet of biscuits.

In the interest of fairness it does. It’s akin to changing the rules half way through the season.
According to the IFAB VAR protocol:
In principle, a match is not invalidated because of:
- malfunction(s) of the VAR technology (as for goal line technology (GLT)
- wrong decision(s) involving the VAR (as the VAR is a match official)
- decision(s) not to review an incident
- review(s) of a non-reviewable situation/decision

Where does lying about the use of VAR fit into that pile of steaming shit?According to the IFAB VAR protocol:

There was only one announcement all game that a VAR check was in progress and that was the second half. Given that all goals are checked automatically one has to assume that there was no VAR check for the stonewall penalty in the first half.

That's because it wasn't VAR.
It was sky and Neville was under instruction.
Imagine if you were right mate.
Fucking hell.

VAT has always been a **** not just today.
It has been needed for years, and was used fairly well in the last world cup. Yes it was not perfect but the view was rightly held that it needed a few tweeks for it to be a valuble tool to go some way to ensuring games were decided fairly.
Only its introduction to the Prem has turned it into a farce and the reasons are quite clear to anyone watching Premier League football. That is either the utterly inept referees of whom there are far better and honest in non league football or the increasingly obvious corrupt Premier League.
There is not much wrong with VAR it is the way that it has been used by the officials in this country.

I thought Shearer was remarkably clear in his opinion that it was a penalty, and neither Crouch not Chapman offered anything to counter it.
How has Chapman got that job?
Looks like a Postman who still lives with his mam.

That's in the PL Riley Appendix, not IFAB rules.

Fucking hell.
I'm pretty certain VAR wasn't used today.
The 2nd part is just a hunch based purely on rat boys unusual bias.

Watching motd it was pointed out his arm was down by his side when it hit bernie but when the ball went towards him he lifted his arm,he wasn't moving/jumping,he had no reason to put his arm up,it's so clear,it was a choice var ref made
I understand what you are saying and I agree. However, I'm explaining that the onfield ref Oliver should have seen and understood from his position that it was a penalty from the direction the ball went after it hit the arm. He was very close and unrestricted view and as experienced referee understand the direction of the ball takes is an indicator of contact.
What is critical here is that if Oliver had given the penalty, at that point the game is stopped and theres no Liverpool attack or goal.. it still doesnt preclude VAR overturning that decision and not awarding a penalty of course.
So from a personal opinion, Oliver should have given the first and the Sterling push but not the additional handball. I haven't seen MOTD so they havnt prejudged my thoughts.
