VAR and Refs | General Discussion

Won't count towards the stats of a VAR error so Liverpool can continue the notion they're hard done by
Oh course they did but its Liverpool so they cant do anything
nice one refEvery single game, they get away with murder. How is it possible? Surely, it can’t be a coincidence anymore.
So if VAR actually did it's job properly we'd have won 6-2 instead of 4-1. VAR costing us again!! Goal differences might matter at the end!
If the refs and VAR did their job properly you wouldnt be top of the league, you would probably be 3rd at best

He could've been killed!
Meanwhile we'll probably get a marginal one tomorrow and the media will have a collective meltdown/sh*tfit
Arsenal one looks very very soft
How the feck has the VAR not intervened for that Arsenal penno? It's a fairly obvious dive.
I am pro VAR in general but fecking hell they have made an absolute bollocks of implementing it. Nearly every match there is a shit decision.

Nah mate, the 'independent' panel said they've been getting 96% of decisions right.
Liverpool. Sorry. LiVARpool. Incredible how lucky they are with decisions every game. It has become a parody. It is impossible for other teams in games when you know that you’ll not get anything against them.
Liverpool and Arsenal are the most lucky teams when it comes to decisions.
They’re actually statistically the teams that benefit the most from VAR.
Another undisguised helping hand for Liverpool as City are denied a stonewall penalty in injury time at 1-1 against Chelsea. It's hard to take it seriously anymore. The plan is so obvious.
Kinda hard to claim his hand is in a natural position when he's using it to pull a City player's shirt. It's basically two penalties in one.

That was never a City penalty
That was never a handball.
Would you care to explain why you think so? He handles the ball, and he does so because he's pulling an opponent's shirt to prevent him from heading the ball. In what insane, deluded mindset is that something players should just be allowed to do? It really beggars belief. Football fans truly are out of their minds half the time.
Foul maybe, handball never
It isnt a handball because it hits Dias arm first then the defenders chest then dias's shoulder then makes contact with the defenders arm.
That's a massive reach
Bit of a reach, mate.
Honestly, is there a worse ref in the league than michael oliver? There seems to be a controversy in almost every game he takes, and it somehow always leads to some pundit trotting a line out about him being 'our best referee'. It's as if this mental catchphrase absolves him of any standard. Hes genuinely dreadful and I say that discounting how awful he is for United. Every game, even as a neutral, there seems to be something with him.
Why is there even a debate about a free kick which led to a corner ?
Absolutely hate it when fans do that. Look, here was a bad decision, let’s make more of those! If you think the Højlund one was not a penalty, you should be happy that City didn’t get one today (frankly you should either way cause why would a United fan want City to win that game).
Why? Fans are just pointing out that we are being treated differently.
Some people would argue differently. However, we only need to look at games to see which teams are lucky with decisions and which are not.
His point is that the one against United shouldn't have been given, surely?
The point seems to be that because a soft penalty was once given against United, we should continue to give soft penalties for eternity because balance. It’s just a daft way of making your point.
It’s literally the opposite point and that’s already been pointed out to you. If that was not a penalty today, why the feck was the Højlund one given?
I'm interpreting the opposite way. It doesn't make logical sense for Motty to want soft pens to be given to City.
Because a bad decision was made. The fact that the referee then makes the correct call in a similar situation in another game doesn’t make the call against United better or worse.
Pretty sure we’ve been on the wrong end of a dozen or so decisions this year of bad calls that are technically correct and were told are correct after the fact?
can’t criticise a fanbase for pointing it out when we’re literally told by the powers that be that these aren’t mistakes and we have nothing to cry about

Wasn’t there a stat recently showing that we are one of the teams who have benefitted the most from VAR decisions this season?
My gut instinct from watching us this season is also that we’ve been a little hard done by, but let’s face it, none of us are objective, and every single fan of every single club feels that way.
EDIT: Sorry, misremembered that one, apparently it showed Liverpool have been most hard done by.

Fake stats and news. Nonsens and nobody can actually believe their results.
You don't have to be some scientist to see which teams benefit from decisions and VAR.
You’re seriously going with ‘fake news’ over some ESPN stats that don’t correspond with your eye test?
You’ve missed his point. Which is that this penalty not being given confirms we were fecked over by the referee/VAR when we played City. An incident that wasn’t counted as an incorrect decision by VAR in that article last week which tried to work out which clubs had been most hard done by.
See also the handball we were denied when we played Spurs.
Those ESPN stats are based on which teams have benefited from VAR changing the refs decision, which is the minority of VAR decisions. They aren't making any claims about whether the VAR calls are correct whether they stuck with the ref or not.

But nobody needed that confirmation. We all knew the Rodri penalty was soft. A correct decision in a similar situation shouldn’t be a cause for surprise or outrage. Again, it’s just a daft way to make that point. England fans don’t go around posting a screenshot of the Lampard non-goal vs Germany every time a goal is awarded.
We know how we are being treated. VAR or not VAR.
