Didn't know VAR stood for Victim Assistance Referee

Liverpool are plus 12 points and 2 league places. Apparently they were robbed of at least 6 victories.
Well no, because that isn't how VAR works
No, it was a blatant penalty and VAR wouldn't have overturned it in my view.
It also still proves that VAR will not take out the subjectivity of the game, these decisions will be exactly as they are now, the individual Ref's interpretation of the law. Some ref's might see it as a pen others not. It is the personal opinion of the person who compiled this table that he thinks that it was a pen. Any takers on what team he might support?
I'd also like to see if all those offside goals Woolwich scored last year, especially at the beginning of the season were taken into account in that table.
But again it's still the subjectivity that remains, VAR doesn't remove this if anything it puts a further spotlight on it whilst also ruining the flow and the enjoyment of the spectators at the Stadium. (If technology can be introduced that measures offsides, as goal-line tech measures the ball over the line then bring that in, I'm all for it, but it has to be instant). But having subjective decisions made in real-time or on review changes absolutely nothing other than stopping them and slowing the game whilst spectators are left hanging.
I don't think that the penalty against the dippers is included as it would then show us as having -2 pts as well as Dippers +2
It was a draw so would mean they win and we lose, so they gain +2pt and we lose -1pt. (but maybe whoever did this table had us gain a further point in another game????). It's only guesswork but still manipulated by the opinion of the person who plays God with their own interpretation and claiming it would be the one that concurs with VAR).
That table is complete bollocks, but I do think VAR should be a part of the modern game and I can't believe that it's been used at a World Cup yet still hasn't had its moment at Premier League level.
I know it's subjective but it reduces the error %. Anything that does that in a multi million pound sport simply needs to be a part of the modern game.

Delete this scouse nonsense.
With regard to the penalty vs City.
I don't blame VAR or the referee, they have been instructed that such incidents ARE penalties, even though it is obvious to anyone who has kicked a ball in a park, let alone played the game, that it was NOT a penalty.
The referees are hamstrung by the rues/directives.
The yellow for Danny was ridiculous though.
