VAR

Liverpool were getting dodgy decisions before and they're still getting dodgy decisions now. A lot of time and money being wasted on something that hasn't changed anything.

Absolutely destroyed football, expecially with the idiots using it in the Premier league. Much more enjoy watching my local Welsh team, no Var and no cheating.

Thats the thing though. They had a daft arm pit off side against them, and 2, I think, odd decisions against them at Old Trafford. I regularly speak to a RS and a Chelsea fan, and they both agree that every club has been done, and every club have benefited. Its just crap.

It's true that every club has probably had poor decision going against them, but City have had contentious decisions go against them time and time again.

Can imagine whoever checking VAR in Stockley Park, were looking at the pen incident and set to make a decision when Liverpool scored. Not a chance in hell they were going to disallow the goal and give a pen to City.

Definitely a pen, but I think the Salah ones onside given perspective.

They have spoken.

"In our consideration, the handball against Trent, (seriously), did not meet the standards of deliberate handball".

So. A mid game rule change. Triffic.

The issue is that close decisions like these have been analysed in and microscopic detail in other games, whereas this appeared to be quickly dismissed.

Where is the consistency? Ironically, we probably do not want close decisions like that being reviewed, however a precedent had been set like we had yesterday.

The decision to not review 'that' offside is what alarms me the most rather than the final decisions because you're right, it is very close.

Easy to quote after. Just think with them scoring so quickly it changed their mind and/or opinion.

Said it from the moment VAR came in we are going to get done big time by a decision at Anfield. What we've seen so far has only added to that belief.

Couldn't believe how quickly that offside was decided. Almost like there wasn't a decision to be made. Liverpool scored a goal and that was that.

VAR now sponsored by Liverpool fc.

It is an offence if a player:

deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, including moving the hand/arm towards the ball

gains possession/control of the ball after it has touched their hand/arm and then:

scores in the opponents’ goal

creates a goal-scoring opportunity

scores in the opponents’ goal directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper

It is usually an offence if a player:

touches the ball with their hand/arm when:

the hand/arm has made their body unnaturally bigger

the hand/arm is above/beyond their shoulder level (unless the player deliberately plays the ball which then touches their hand/arm)

The above offences apply even if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from the head or body (including the foot) of another player who is close.

Except for the above offences, it is not usually an offence if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm:

directly from the player’s own head or body (including the foot)

directly from the head or body (including the foot) of another player who is close

if the hand/arm is close to the body and does not make the body unnaturally bigger

when a player falls and the hand/arm is between the body and the ground to support the body, but not extended laterally or vertically away from the body

If he leaves the ball, it will go through to the next City player: it's handball.

VAR the premier league and Liverpool all in it together, the desperation for that shower to win the league from all around them is sickening
