VAR was created purely to keep Liverpool in games
That penalty decision was a fucking joke

Video assistant referee is ruining the game. I fucken hate it
I could absolutely see this happening in the summer, he's surprised me by turning out to be a really good player. Who do you buy if you can't buy the likes of Kane etc.? Salah seems the obvious choice.
Indeed. So many things wrong with it today:
Ages to make a decision; ref seemed to have no confidence in his ability so starting referring everything; players acting like cunts drawing TVs in the air; the poor bastards at the game we're left in the total dark, etc, etc.
Shouldn't be getting trialed in big cup games. Fucking iron out the kinks in some lower league games first.
Not even factoring in the eternal punchline that is West Ham bowing out to Wigan and having a man sent off for spitting
It's supposedly only for when a ref has definitely got something wrong.
The pen he gave Liverpool on that basis was scandalous, watch it a million times and he didn't 'definitely' get it wrong by not giving a penalty first time round. If anything on replay Salah would get a retrospective ban for diving.
It’s a Chekhov’s gun waiting to ruin a high profile game for us.
No-one else see us losing the NLD to a contentious VAR decision?

I don't see it, because VAR isn't being used by the Premier League yet.It’s a Chekhov’s gun waiting to ruin a high profile game for us.

I changed my Facebook password to "Liverpool's defence" but Facebook notified me that it's too weak. Any advice?
Well thank fuck for that...
It's been used in other countries for a while now and the flaws with it have been clear from the start. I don't think fans over here appreciated just what a massive impact it has on the game. It's not "Oh now my team won't have any injustices committed against us by crap refs", it changes the entire dynamic of the sport. The worst thing is that it's designed for TV audiences, if you're actually there you don't have a fucking clue what is going on and are just twiddling your thumbs for a few minutes while they decide what to do. Totally killing the atmosphere.
It also leads to ludicrous moments like I saw in a european league game the other week where a team scored, play started again and then a few minutes later the goal got discounted. If that isn't football being fundamentally ruined I don't know what it is.
I doubt there's anything that can be done to stop VAR from being rolled out to the Premier League now, it seems like an inevitability. It's a huge mistake though and there's nothing that can be done to iron out the flaws because the entire system has so much wrong with it.
