Is anyone saying that though? Are they the only 2 options? Var gets everything 100% right or Var gets everything 100% wrong?No one is confusing that, the fact is we have all been saying it's bent, but now today var is great and calling all.decisions correct . And making all the right calls

The Watford manager's remarks about VAR are interesting .............................
"I thought VAR would be objective but it appears to be subjective"
Take some examples .................
Spurs mustn't get beat by City
Leicester must not draw with Liverpool
Watford mustn't get their first win of the season against Spurs
United must not drop points again
There are many more controversial decisions in the few games played so far.
Refs made cock-ups year in year out which were grudging accepted. Today when the ref makes a mistake he doesn't care because VAR makes a decision and carries any flak.

You may be right there but handballs were similar but the Wolves player definitely got a yellow card. I can't understand why one is a yellow and the other is not. At the Wolves game they showed the handball incident on the big screenThe linesman disallowed the Raul goal, in fact he flagged for handball before the ball hit the net.

If it was reported to the ref as deliberate handball, it's a yellow card. The linesman saw it, so may have made that opinion known to the ref. VAR then confirmed the handball.
That's only a theory, obviously. I don't know if there is anything confirming that the card was for handball rather than possible dissent.

Oh come off it Karen. All season we’d heard that var would save them. Yesterday was the perfect opportunity but it didn’t come to their rescue.It was the correct decision that is not the same as costing them which makes it sound like they were stiffed

Do you think VAR will get more stick now that the dippers have been wronged ?

Which one was that?

Not according to this thread, Its apparent now that the Origi foul wasn't one so Var hasn't gone against them.Oh come off it Karen. All season we’d heard that var would save them. Yesterday was the perfect opportunity but it didn’t come to their rescue.

Yes that is the top and bottom of it. After the board going deathly quiet straight after the match those who have told us pre match that the game is corrupt and VAR/Refs are making decisions to favour Liverpool have come out swinging and are now denying the obvious.
We all know what the reaction would be if that goal was given against City and if anything their refusal to admit so has only weakened their argument because yesterday only highlights the blinkered nature of their view.

His point has some merit tbf...Now that’s a surprise coming from you Frank.....
I’ve read so many people bringing out the old cliche ‘it’s a contact sport......’ to justify it not being a foul, but the reality is lindeloff kicked origi and it should of been a foul.Yes that is the top and bottom of it.

The people trying to justify it are the same people saying VAR is bent to favour Liverpool as they can’t admit VAR is just a shit stain across the PL.

I don’t know a united fan that doesn’t think it was a foul. Even Gary fucking Neville said it was one.Not according to this thread, Its apparent now that the Origi foul wasn't one so Var hasn't gone against them.
Not like BM to be one eyed though.

A dropped couple of points doesnt hurt the dippers too much and a gained point for united is always good for the brand. The ideal result.Yes that is the top and bottom of it.

A gained point for united is always good for the brand? What brand is that? The ‘united like to concede a late goal to draw at home’ brand? Not sure you’ve thought this through, mate :-)A dropped couple of points doesnt hurt the dippers too much and a gained point for united is always good for the brand. The ideal result.
