VAR

[iainpeden]

I’m a Liverpool supporter so am biased but having just read the transcript of the decision during the Spurs-Liverpool match feel that the language used by the supposedly Professional Game officials falls far short of the term professional and is more akin to language used at closing time in the after a session in the pub.

[Gary]

I guess they never expected the audio to be released so wasn’t as professional as expected. Gotta say the wrong decision couldn’t happen to a better team though

Used to be in favour of VAR but there are too many mistakes

[James Cutting]

Problem is, VAR as a technology does work, but the majority of the incompetent Premier League officials have no idea what they are doing. When the head of VAR Ops says to pause the game, and they refuse - even when the ball was out of play- is incredible.

Liverpool has suffered one of the worst decisions from it this season - So far. Many other teams have been screwed over. Something has to change for the better for everyone. Especially when it would have so easily influenced the match.

[iainpeden]

Gotta say the wrong decision couldn’t happen to a better team though :

That’s because there isn’t a better team! Six European cups plus every thing else.

Three possible outcomes.
Do nothing, Liverpool lose the title or miss the European Cup by a point or two and pgmol (or whatever they call themselves) look forward to a massive legal bill as Fenway (American and therefore litigacious) take them to the cleaners.

Replay the game

Allow the goal and therefore share points: neither team happy but probably best. I suspect that if the own goal hadn’t been scored and it had finished 1:1 the heat might have been a little less.

[Gary]

Deluded Liverpool fans they are like the old court jesters for the rest of the world to laugh at

There have been multiple VAR errors this season alone, yet no other teams are kicking up a fuss. Wolves should have had a penalty at Old Trafford. What happens if they get relegated by a point. Or any lower league teams who don’t get the privilege of VAR

Liverpool have to forget their egos this time and accept it. Hopefully this error is the final one and something can be done about VAR

Alleged European royalty who got English clubs banned for 5 years. Which had a massive effect on the English clubs for many years after the ban ended

[James Cutting]

But why should any of the other clubs keep rolling over for VAR and PGMOL? Everyone else seems too scared to speak up, so it's about d amn time someone said something because it has been going on for years. Clearly a shame for the other fans that the club to speak up was Liverpool.

Any other club would get more backing but people can't stand it being Liverpool. Which I love to see even more

[James Cutting]

Hopefully this error is the final one and something can be done about VAR

We have been saying this for years though Gary and sweet FA has been done to improve it. Having the officials officiate out in Saudi 2 before a major PL game is unacceptable.

[Gary]

Delusional Liverpool always the victims. What gives Liverpool more rights than Wolves etc. Without VAR would it not still have been ruled offside? If there wasn’t VAR you’ll now be demanding there was.

It’s not a case of the other teams being to scared it’s Liverpool ego. Demanding and getting a replay like Klopp wants would set a dangerous precedent.

Scousers don’t consider themselves English, so shouldn’t be in the premier league anyway. Let them play in their own Merseyside league

[James Cutting]

Of course, you pull out the "Victims Card" which surprises me Gary as I thought you were one of the decent ones on here. Unbelievable. Think you are being delusional mate; Wolves quite simply could have protested and looked into options. The point is any one of the clubs could kick off but don't - but why not? This is the point. Stay quiet and nothing changes. Not about "What right do we have?" Every club has the right.

Haha Klopp has never said that you should really look into it more. It is about something getting changed which clearly you don't want.

[Gary]

Think you need to look on the news you James and I’ll wait for the apology and look into it more oneself https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67003386

[James Cutting]

5 minutes ago, must have missed it.

After you


If you remember rightly, U*ited players were brought back out for a penalty, so why can't similar be done.

[captain scarlet]

Just seen the bcc news - 'replay the right thing to do' says klippety klopp . . . he's having a laugh!!!

Did Chelsea get a replay when they scored that 'ghost goal' at Anfield in the European cup? No!

Did all the clubs that qualified for Europe in the 80s get compensated for being banned due to the scousers bad behaviour? Errrr . . . no!

Did Liverpool Serve the extra years they were banned for after English clubs were re-admitted to Europe? No!

Personally, I 'd relegate Liverpool to the conference for wasting everyone's time!!

And if the scousers don't like being English then let them go and play in the local Liverpool DHSS/spice league against Tranmere and Everton.

[James Cutting]

Bringing up historical things to compare to an event like Saturday is quite frankly, incomparable. So different on many, many levels. Such a completely different thing. But of course, nobody else looks at the obvious do they, can't say it's surprising.

For the record I disagree with a replay.

[captain scarlet]

Having grown up in the 80s watching Liverpool win so many things, I find it laughable their attitude now considering what they got away with over the years with decisions going in their favour.

Wasn't the penalty they got against Wimbledon in the FA cup final a dive as well? Maybe they should demand a replay now???

[James Cutting]

Like every single other club that has gotten away with many things

[captain scarlet]

But the bigger clubs tend to get away with more (VAR was supposed to sort that out)

[James Cutting]

And it's not, time and time again, so you get to the point where we're at now - VAR's had yet again (not the first, or the last time) a major impact on the outcome of a game. Clubs repeatedly roll over time and time again, much to their fanbases' disappointment, so it is about time something is being done even if they are kicking and screaming.

People just hate the fact it is Liverpool (while I love seeing the rivals obsess over it and throw their dummies out) when in reality they wish it was their club doing it.

[slogen51]

Whatever happened to the referee's decision is final - rightly or wrongly it's the same for both teams and mistakes tend to even out.

By the way until recently Liverpool have happily been poor. I am a manu supporter so now it is our turn to be pooh and we know we are!

[James Cutting]

Hey? How have we? Not sure you can figure that out seeing as that was out first lost in the league since April 2023.

United on the other hand is something to laugh about!

[Gary]

How’s Liverpool getting on in the champions league this season? Liverpool best team some say ever and they’ve got 1 title in 30 years

Bin dipper fans don’t half get defensive when you mention them being victims Do you seriously think anything would have changed if Wolves etc protested? No, replaying would have worldwide implications.

Do we just keep playing or replay games until Liverpool get the result they want. Fergie time eat your heart out
