VAR

Our disallowed goal gets very little coverage in the media today.

Big surprise.

What there is, is very dismissive of this being any sort of issue.

Looks like the commercial narrative is still in full swing ...

It looked to me and others around me that the ref was pointing to the centre circle for a goal but now we know he was pointing to award a free kick .Very harsh on us .

The goal was the obvious one yesterday but it was interesting that rather than last year's approach to offside where the play was allowed to develop, the Danjuma effort aside, all off sides were whistled dead.

No word on the clown officiating against us though.

We have a perfectly good goal disallowed and Utd get away with daylight robbery…… some things never change

What benefit do Wolves get with that?

Posturing to the masses; they'll all be back making similar decisions in favour of Liverpool in a fortnight.

Absolute bull that tarks didn't even move Saturday and the keeper drops a clanger yet its a foul. They need to start looking at bringing officials in from the continent for me they don't seem to take any grief or anything

Scrap the whole thing its there to eradicate mistakes, so its not fit for purpose, in fact it makes it even worse that they have this available and still the same things are happening.

I don't believe their is total corruption but 100% their is bias towards the bigger teams.

But the refs in this league do exactly what they refs association want them to do. Give the decision to the top clubs to keep them as the top clubs because that's what brings the money in.

The Premier league doesn't want a fair competition it wants a competition it can manipulate.

This league is more corrupt the the Italian league. Difference is the Premier league is in on it.

Watched the sky thing about it with Gallagher who said it wasn't a foul but the goal wouldn't have been given if the foul hadn't been given because Keane was offside when he hit the shot that went in.

Not surprised. As mentioned on a different thread, it was a nailed on penalty for Wolves.

Against any other opponent it wouldn't have even been a decision for VAR. As it was, the decision was terrible

It's a good creative tool. VAR is not for the greater good of football it belongs in Disneyland, Walter in his wildest dreams could not have imagined such magic.

what's worse is that 'clear and obvious' is ironically clearly and obviously vague and yet another subjective viewpoint officials can hide behind
