He’s just too cool for school our Keiran, sees the bigger picture without the blue tinted glasses we’re all wearing. We see the crescent, he sees the whole of the moon.

Sterling and Firmino have both had perfectly good goals ruled out this season, just off the top of my head.
As @andy4efc quite rightly says, the better teams still find a way and that’s exactly the mentality we should be looking to replicate.

All fair mate. To go against what I said myself in my post, the worst thing about VAR is that it hasn’t actually improved anything. So we’ve gone from poor and inconsistent officiating to something even worse which should not have been possible given how simple in theory implementing it should have been. I will say that the biggest issue is that the men operating it in the VAR centre are fellow officials, meaning they are incompetent and also probably trying to stop their mates on the pitch from looking bad. VAR needs stone cold objective arbiters operating it. That’s the only way it will work.
My only other defence of VAR is that Pandora’s box has now been opened and I think it’s hard to go backwards. What do I mean by this? Well let’s just say a decision went against us that a referee simply didn’t see- maybe a goal that was offside that relegated us (hypothetical of course). Or we’re in a game where a win seals top 4. There’s a handball on the line denying us a goal and which should have given us a penalty. It’s clear as day but the ref hasn’t seen it. Can we really go back to a time where we just have to accept those mistakes? I know VAR in its current form isn’t doing us any favours but I think scrapping it entirely is impossible.
Overall my comments regarding Liverpool tie in to a worrying sense of apathy and despair which I’ve felt growing this season- something which has definitely been compounded by VAR of course. I guess at this moment there really is nothing at all to like about Everton or football in general. How quickly that can change is anybody’s guess.

Erm, no he wasn't, he was rolling around the grass after he was shot...
connolly faked injury to get VAR to look at a nothing incident, the other players didn't have a clue. as usual you are wrong

Watch the footage back and you’ll see.
walks a higher plain doesn't he @Keiran heres a quick update
Keirans beliefs
Jacko is not a peado
the RS have never had a favourable decison
Racism doesn't exist
OJ was innocent
The brighton penalty was the right decison (against Everton)
Alli handball wasn't a penalty (against Everton)
Spurs should have had a penalty (aganist Everton)
Its quite a hitlist thus far

lol Again, didn’t say any of those things but sure, let’s remember it your way.
FYI, it’s “paedo” if you’re alluding to a paedophile. Just seen you spell that one wrong a few times now mate. No need to thank me.
VAR plays like an unaired episode of Black Mirror...
Then again I don't think even Charlie Brooker could pen this kind of nightmarish sporting dystopia.

It’s not a sport, it’s a commercial activity, it’s pointless to follow now.
