Liverpool vs Sheff Utd, Sat 24 Oct 20.00h - Premier League

[Tommok]

The ref went to look at the monitor in the Fulham vs Palace game and changed the initial yellow card for a foul to a red.

Refs should deffo should go to the monitor more often and be told to do so by the VAR team to do so.

The main thing is the VAR team need to be more accountable - mic'ed up to explain decisions.

It's a full on crisis in football now isn't it, the integrity of the sport is at risk. Nobody's going to keep watching if every game is decided by the whims of some unaccountable lad in an office somewhere instead of the players on the pitch. 

I particularly like it when, 4 seconds after an incident, the commentator states that it has already been checked by VAR

Like, get f***ing real.

I'd say Hendo will be rested.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s out injured to be honest. It looked like one of their players (unintentionally) raked down his Achilles coming down from a header.

Nice to see the refs traditional policy of reffing s*** alehouse teams like they're playing in the FA Cup is back. They're obsessed with creating their own narrative to games.

I think any major decisions outside of offside the match ref should go to the monitor - they literally barely ever do it  and I have no idea why. I still wouldn’t have agreed with it, but if Dean had gone to the monitor and stuck with his decision I could accept it slightly more easily. They could not be doing a worse job of using the technology, it’s a shambles. Heads should roll.

What was his original decision? I thought he'd given a penalty initially, then it seemed like they were setting up for a free kick.

It shouldn't be forgotten they actually were screwed by the ref as well. 

They had a pen not given or referred after getting the luck earlier a

The Berge one? He dived over Jota's legs to look as if he had been tripped. Was never a pen

[Hightown Phil]

What did people think made it not a penalty? Cos I watched with four others and no one thought anything other than foul and penalty. Thought he went through him to get the ball and McBurnie’s foot looked on the line too. First replay I saw I thought we were in big trouble.

The least surprising post in forum history.

I f***ing hate VAR. 

The chalking off of goals is horrible whether it's a correct decision or not.

Fab got the ball and the lads foot if it was touching the line at impact you would need a bloody microscope to see it.

Absolute farce of a decision.

Yeah, they should never be giving a pen in those situations and  particularly when they're allowing Maguire to grapple players to the floor. 

There's no way there aren't superior officials available.

To stop VAR collapsing they just need VAR to raise it as a check for the ref to go to the screen so the ref on the pitch makes all the decisions.

There is nothing wrong with VAR that wouldn't be fixed just by having people watching the screens who know the laws of the game and can apply them correctly.

This is literally it. Don’t have it be operated by the s*** refs it’s been brought in to cover for. 

[Hightown Phil]

I don't understand why it isn't retired refs. 

[Conrad]

That was a great set of results yesterday

If Mane's goal last week was VAR applying the laws properly then it can f*** off.
