[Albion] Premier League 30/9 - 3/10/23

[dazzer6666]

It is. There are at least TWO people looking at those pictures in the VAR studio. It just HAS to be corrupt. I just don't understand it - in the same way I simply cannot compute how a human being makes those two decisions against us today. As Neville says there have been loads of offsides that have looked dodgy recently - something very odd is happening.

I genuinely don't get it. You can see it was half a yard on side with a naked eye. HOW can they get it wrong? These are professionals, supposedly the best at the job. It angers me and I couldn't care less about Liverpool. At times I actually think, sorry, know I could do a better job in the VAR studio.

And its things like this, ironically at Spurs ground again, it makes me question if there is corruption going on

There has to be something sinister. How a qualified ref can be sat with God knows how many TV angles looking at that and somehow determine it’s offside is bizarre. You had one ****ing job. It’s way, way worse than the onfield officials getting something wrong.

TBH bad decisions happening to Liverpool is hilariously funny

 

[pb21]

Just seen this latest VAR debacle, what a shower of shite VAR is. It's surely time to get rid.

Fulham/Wolves have had awful calls this season, but as it's Liverpool sky are demanding a full enquiry.

I didn’t say the quote you have attributed to me. NSC is about as reliable as VAR.

 

[Wozza]

Fulham/Wolves have had awful calls this season, but as it's Liverpool sky are demanding a full enquiry.

In this instance - as with Spurs v Brighton last season - PGMOL have admitted a mistake. Human error.

Damn right there should be an enquiry!

 

[Colonel Mustard]

No, they really aren't. Wrong decisions like this diminish the game, regardless of who's playing. If you think that's hilariously funny then you relinquish the moral high ground when Brighton are the victims of terrible VAR decisions.

 

[Clive Walker]

Noticed that more and more teams are playing RDZ style now but doing it better than us.

Worrying

But the goal was originally ruled offside, no? Nothing was changed by VAR it just exposed how hilariously poor officials in this country have become

It needs scrapping asap.

If I can sit in my lounge and tell that a player is clearly onside from one replay how on earth can two people watching numerous replays (as their f***ing job!) not see it? It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if it turned out to be a match fixing scam.

It would help if we put the right team out occasionally and stop worrying about rotation every game. We will probably end up with nothing wishing we had just kept playing our strongest 11.

They admitted it after the Fulham and Wolves I believe

Disagree. Mistakes have always happened on field in football. It was never perfect nor expected to be. Ref says offside. Everyone accepts it and we all get on with the game. VAR was introduced to make ‘correct’ decisions and it has opened a can of worms because ‘correct’ isn’t achievable.

TBH I'm not sure, but that would be a preferable situation to having the wrong decision made after a several minute wait, for a convoluted process to pan out that should supposedly prevent wrong decisions being made.

VAR would be beneficial only if things like this didn't happen. As they do the pros nowhere near outweigh the cons.

Exactly what I thought after the Spurs game last year. It is not possible to make a genuine mistake when you have all the angles and footage

 

[WhingForPresident]

PGMOL are a f***ing disgrace. How can it not be corruption? There is no way anyone that knows anything about football thought that was offside, let alone a 'qualified official'. Why did they not even draw the lines? Why did the lino flag for what was clearly a marginal call in the first place?

People wanted perfection when it wasn't possible

The Handball rule has been butchered to fit in with VAR, still pictures used to produce red cards and dodgy lines ruling out goals because a toenail is offside

I appreciate this viewpoint. However this decision was so objectively wrong that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to accept on field mistakes so easily if we did return to no VAR

But scrapping it would just make any scam easier to pull off.

 

[Hovegull]

Liverpool definitely had the worst game of the day.
