    Why are rival fans complaining as if asking for transparency and reviews after massive mistakes isn’t something the league as a whole would benefit from? Baffling how there’s smug spurs fans in here when it has about 50% chance to happen to them next week given the standard of VAR/refereeing in the league

    Liverpool fans really are the Trump supporters of the football world. Everyone is out to get them, everything is a grand conspiracy…

    The whole point of football is to score a goal.

    If a perfectly good goal isnt allowed then something is very wrong and not fit for purpose.

    VAR inserts human judgment where none is needed.

    Offsides can be determined by sensor technology: Each player could be tagged for location, if the rules were to require comparison of, say, foot positions alone. Sensors in ball and boots could leave VAR “human error” behind: no lines to “interpret”; no worry for angles. It works for goal line tech. Should be doable for offsides.

    At this point, what’s the real point in continuing with VAR at all? Before it’s inclusion in the game, we could yell at the screen, point at the replays and complain that your team got short-changed because an official made a mistake. Now, WITH VAR we’re doing the exact same thing, but with more stoppages

    Genuinely is there a single club happy with the refereeing this season? Never seen it this bad

    The thing that makes this totally unacceptable for me is after the initial mistake when the VAR team think the goal has been given, which is bad enough, is the fact they say nothing to the ref when Spurs are given a free kick and are not kicking off from the centre circle.

    That obviously shows the goal hadn’t been given, what were they doing? Clearly not looking at the screen. It’s embarrassingly bad.

    It was a failure, singular; the offside was the error. The cards were correct. There wasn’t failures. Just one huge error.

    Thankfully those in the VAR room had a successful audition for the UAE League earlier in the week so they’ll be OK even if they get fired in England

    They probably weren’t arsy when Wolves’ goal was wrongly disallowed for offside in the FA cup because they couldn’t find the correct angle, they can keep crying for what I care of course they also fail to mention that their goal came from the refereeing wrongfully awarding them a free kick

    Here’s hoping the league punishes Liverpool thoroughly for this embarrassing online petition. Mistakes have happened to many teams, and a point was no guarantee for them as they RIGHTFULLY went down two players due to their team members playing on the edge of professionalism.
