Ok...what would the table look like if there was no backpass rule?

Good thing there is VAR, then.

So what this essentially shows is that on field referees are prone to making mistakes in Liverpool's favor and in our opponent's favor. Yet the Fergie Association is against them, right?

Let's be honest, without VAR, Liverpool would already have 35 league titles and United would still be on 7.

And this is an assumption that VAR hasn’t changed the way referees make decisions on field. Those offside goals that Liverpool scored may have been flagged by the linesman if there was no VAR.

So what this shows, in short, is that referees make a lot of terrible on field calls that severely influence the way the table is shaped, and with these terrible calls being corrected, things are different? What a revelation.

Kind of, although there's been some VAR decisions that overrule the ref, or sometimes non-decisions by VAR that agree with him that were bollocks too.

There have been, but again, VAR doesn't make the decisions, referees do. VAR is just a tool. By and large VAR has been a net positive, in terms of correcting things that the on field referees miss.

We need to stop talking about VAR as if its a computer somewhere that makes these decisions. It's the same crappy referees doing it.

what about a premier league table without Bruno? Surely that has had an impact on our standing more than VAR :lol:.

I am sure there is a lot of factors you can put in statement that shows that Ole is one lucky manager. Var is just one of them, which is why he shouldn’t be our manager

It’s a flawed analysis because decisions are made differently with VAR. I.e refs are less likely to make decisions that are covered by VAR than they used to.

VAR handball decision against Brighton in stoppage time was a miss from the ref, glad VAR caught it.

So United would've been most hard done by without VAR?
