Everton and VAR

[Methuselah]

VAR was supposed to eliminate controversial refereeing decisions. It is making them worse. It needs dumping asap. On the BBC live text, Pardew said that not a single professional footballer would have given that penalty.

if that had happened in a derby, that game would have gone seriously wrong

No way that’s ever a foul/penalty

Sadly EPL is going the way of American sports. Over analyzed in super slo mo but not taking a step back looking at the big picture.

Just awful

 

[Tin-Tin]

Apparently that was yhe first time VAR overruled a ref but didnt VAR overrule the ref in our previous game where the ref gave a foul on pickford for the corner and a goal was given after VAR?

It will be binned in the summer, no way clubs will agree to keep it now. Just why does it have to be us who get utterly screwed over before any action gets taken.

No mate he gave the goal and VAR confirmed. it.

Think about it. The past two games have been horribly officiated for us to the extent of corruption. I think the powers that be want Silva out

Give your head a wobble lad. Should we just not talk about things that might make some of the fanbase wet the bed then?

Talk about it all you want just

Totally agree, will be a force used for the RS to pick up their league title and then dumped forever.

VAR didn’t cost us points today. Our performance did. Plain and simple. People trying to make out that the officials are corrupt need to have a day off.

The pen was soft and will continue to be debated but analyse the performance, were we genuinely good enough even for a point today?

Not in my book. Awful all round. We got fortunate with the equaliser in the 1st half and apart from Theo’s chance I can’t remember us creating any clear chances. When they got the pen, whether it’s unjust or not, Marco MUST reset the team. He didn’t.

We lost our heads, lost our shape and conceded again. Even the most die-hard Evertonian wouldn’t argue that 2 of their 3 goals were absolutely fine.

It’s not VAR. It’s the players and the management.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Its Everton v var lads.

 

[Zeke]

if that one thing is a goal then yeah you can legitimacy moan

You can moan,but its the same for every club. You have to dust yourself off and then not lose the game. We don't do that we just collapse and throw even more much needed points away.

 

[street end]

It needs binning along with the current crop of referees, every week they get something majorly wrong, and they put themselves in charge of new technologies for them to get that wrong also. Absolute shambles

 

[alwaysblue]

It's an absolute brilliant innovation and should improve the game. Unfortunately the idiots trying to use it haven't a clue. That was an absolute shocked a complete contradiction of what it's for. If that's how it is why wasn't Richarlison given a penalty for the rugby tackle.

 

[Zezti]

2 games in a row the officials have done their absolute hardest to stop us getting anything, unfortunately this time they succeeded.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Var is institutionalised bias.

It has no accountability. No consistency. No fairness.

We were utterly shafted today and someone needs to explain why.
