Football Is Dead

So a Sky spokesperson is tweeting the reason for no penalty,even though its handball in the penalty area,the excuse given basically gives any player the right to challenge a ball with their hand up,the trip on Richarlson completely ignored,and the refs get a free pass as managers arent allowed to question the performance

 

[dannyboy]

Didn't have the faintest idea.

Completely ruins the game for the fans. It was bad enough watching it on the TV knowing what was happening.

The worst part is we know which way that decision would go if it was the last minute at Anfield. In fact, I wouldn´t be surprised for us to be on the receiving end of one exactly like that next month.

We might as well just get the pools panel to decide every game, and see where we come out at the end of the season rather than VAR.

I welcome the European super league they want if it means the rest of us can get back to what we used to have. Big money doesn’t make it any better whatsoever.

If that excuse is real, any defender can jump with any attacker and simply punch the ball away. Because they're 'under pressure'.

That's how nonsensical it is.

Just looking over the Son dive.
From the goal line angle its clear its a dive.
He plays the ball with left foot looking to spin away.
Ball moves to his right foot as his left foot gets grounded. He then moves his left foot in the oppositie direction of where the ball is played
to make contact with Mina instead. That is, he isn't playing the ball anymore.
The contact is not Mina's, its his. Ok so no penalty.
But then it must be a dive by the way he...well the way he dives.

I've changed my mind about VAR - its a great thing.
Documented evidence for the future of the clear bias that exists in the game today against teams like Everton, or rather the clear bias towards the Sky teams.

...I don’t think there’s any doubt about bias. I’d be amazed if that VAR decision had not been given if we were playing in red.

Really? With yesterday’s decision, do you really think that? It’s something on here I see time and again ‘if it were the RS’, every club is being punished, some right, some wrong. One thing we can agree on is that it’s ruining the game. Why do we have to equate everything to them

 

[GrandOldTeam]

If this is Liverpool or Man Utd - VAR 99/100 give a pen citing contact. Absolutely convinced.

 

[ToffeeTim]

If that isn't a penalty then any defender can punch the ball away from above their head to clear a set play.

It's farcical. They are ruining the game with their inherent bias.

 

[Parky]

Didn't really celebrate our goal, not sure if cos I thought var would rule it out or that just didn't care

Know what you mean , I'd usually be going mental but was certain it would be ruled out for something stupid

 

[Gaffa]

Probably the least enjoyable game I’ve ever seen. I don’t expect to pay each week to watch a referee and scoreboard

...because I genuinely think it’s true.

Thats exactly what I mean,that "interpretation" gives players licence to play volleyball in the penalty area,I said at the start of the season VAR wouldnt work because instead of 1 incompetant official you will have two deciding things

 

[MikeH72]

Except no it doesn't. It boils down to fact.

Your team are literally reigning European Champions and top of the league - why are you here?

Genuinely don’t think he’s a red, but he is a bad attention seeker who takes up opposing points of view to the general consensus for no reason other than to try and stir up a debate that isn’t really there. He’s basically a Netto davek.

It is virtually guaranteed that we will get nailed by one of these decisions at Anfield. Accept it now, it´ll hurt less.
