Some game already
Liverpool 2 nil up inside the first 15 mins
Should have been a penalty to Man City before the first Liverpool goal.
Definite handball before Liverpool scored
Salah offside, yesteday a player was a toe offside and goal disallowed var useless
It's a funny old game.
Would they really have taken Liverpool's goal away and gone back to a penalty? So glad VAR didn't mess with Salah's goal as well.Quote:

It's the right decision and also would have been hilariousQuote:

VAR officials did during one of the UEFA nations league gamesQuote:

FT 3 - 1
Entertaining game. Man City werent at it, but I was impressed with Sterling’s attitude. He didn’t stop trying to make things happen. Trent is a hell of a passer, anyone think he’ll move to midfield at some point?
"A hell of a player" who can be got at defensively, so, yes, I agree a move into midfield could be his future.Quote:

Referees refereeing referees - ain't going to work.
I think most fans would agree that refereeing a game these days is not easy, the pace the game is played at, players trying to con them but it seems to me the standard of officiating is dropping rapidly. Therefore it's no surprise that putting VAR in place is having a number of teething problems, let's be honest it's a ****ing shambles. Bob, I don't think the hardened fans will desert the game but 'plastics' may well do unless the the whole approach to using the technology is revamped.
At the moment the only part of technology that has improved the decision-making is the goal-line application.
The whole idea of technological aid makes the television cameras a vital part of the sport (not just football) and TV companies (mainly Sky) an integral part of the game. If VAR becomes essential to the game is there a danger that Sky and others will have even more leverage in sport.
I'm not a fan of Liverpool, but they do deserve something this season after last year's near miss with so many points. Did anybody see the young Welsh lad playing at fullback for them the other night against Arsenal?
I said hell of a passerQuote:
