Have been listening to Talk Sport this morning while driving. It was even suggested on there that the game be replayed. If that happens I’m done with football. These scousers are something else!"Let Liverpool score the goal they are due". What the fuck is this? Playground football?? Fucking hell, heard it all now, these pricks need to grow the fuck up!
It's only a first for that specific line of events.In terms of VAR, technically it has.
They had a perfectly good goal ruled out because those at VAR thought the goal was given and they said yes its onside, it's fine. Not realising it was given as off in the first place. I don't believe that's ever happened before.
Which makes it even funnier.
Replay every game or change every result.Have been listening to Talk Sport this morning while driving. It was even suggested on there that the game be replayed. If that happens I’m done with football. These scousers are something else!
It’s where scousers steal milk from isn’t it?!Scousers busy googling “Diaries”
The problem is not VAR it is the rules and the interpretation of them.
The fact is the Liverpool goal was a genuine f up by the officials and ignores that their can be a misunderstanding in communication. We can ignore this because it is one case and a major fuck up but not deliberate.
The fact is whenever this has happened to Spurs whether it is the Mendes goal, Gomes stopping the ball on the line, the soft handball in the first minute of the champions league final, Jota trying to end Skipp's career, we have never received an apology for the mistake we have been told to move on. The fact is the Mendes Goal we were told it was more important that the linesman job was to check whether the player was offside than the ball crossed the line.
The apology actually angers me more because it is unwarranted because they do not give one out for every decision and gives these foaming at the mouth Liverpool fans and pundits an excuse.
Why?
Abolish VAR to go back to the old system where referees were making even more incorrect decisions.
VAR gets the vast majority of decisions correct so if you want to abolish it you'll get even more errors.
The solution is to improve the people that use it or train them better.
Like when I was at school!!!I'm not sure VAR is the issue. But they need to change the rules to prevent VAR from dictating things.
If the current offside rule for example needs you to take 5 minutes to decide what's right after drawing lines etc then it's ridiculous.
Doesn't help that the people making the decisions are so inconsistent that it makes a mockery of it all.
Let us hear the conversations too. Let us understand why they're making the decisions.

Hilarious but I think this is bollocks though.
The refs in this country have gone to shit and you can't even criticise them without getting a fine/ban.
There needs to be more accountability
Liverpool will try to claim the points for that tooAnyone else hoping that there is a huge VAR fuck up in the game tonight?

Criticising is one thing, openly calling them corrupt and biased against Liverpool is another.Hilarious but I think this is bollocks though.
