VAR Thread - 2021/22

I believe that is why klopp is always such a twat making excuses if they lose (or draw in this case), it builds a lot of anger against refs and trys to play for sympathy with the help of the media who are happy for all the clicks the outrage generates.

The outcome is refs might think twice in future for daring to make a call against them, similar to how red nose would bully refs to get more favourable decisions.

pretty much, hence why they went 2 years without a red card.

Great sequence from 52 secs until end . Take it to VAR see you 2 weeks and 5 possible red cards later.

Don't miss the Phil "The Face" fan at 18-30 secs, tackling with his erm.... face.

Didnt think it was a Pen for Lukaku's goal, think he felt contact and collapsed. Thought VAR should have over ruled it.

I must say that VAR came good yesterday, giving pens for pulling players down at set pieces. It always was cheating but refs were unable to police it because they don’t have ten sets of eyes in their head.

Handball by Varane in the second half not even looked at.

I thought VAR had changed slightly this season to stop goals being ruled out by mm. Seems VAR has now gone back to last season standard ruling goals out by mm yet still not 100% sure when the ball leaves the foot.
The picture of laporte looked to me like the ball had already left KDB foot. So take it back a split second and laporte is on side.

Seems at best VAR is still guess at which point the ball leaves the passer or plain cheating still

The interesting one yesterday was Toney's right arm face smash into Cancello's face. Not really a fool by Cancello as Toney was backing into him but Cancello bad to be booked to allow Toney to remain on the pitch. Even then Tony should have been sent off.
I didn't think VAR was allowed to change an on field Yellow card decision?

The point at which offside is judged is when the foot, head or ither body part FIRST TOUCHES the ball not when it LEAVES the foot, head or body part. PGMOL and pundits get this wrong all the time but AI is close to working this out for FIFA - you can calculate the point at which contact occurs 99% of the time as ball accelerarion/deceleration is imparted by contact.
Offside for arms doesn't count and is measure at the bottom of the armpit (which is now much better).
VAR was spot on for both our goal decisions last night.

I think they also tried that with the Foden goal, but couldn't make it look offside.
