Just goes to show what happens to City when the rules are applied.

See their performance in the CL for guidance.

We got lucky today to come away with a draw

City are a joy to watch

Llorente didnt score with his arm, Laporte assisted with his arm
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Assisted
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem BV?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Only with your absolutely biased interpretation of what happened....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How is it wrong? If the goal stood Laporte would have been credited with an assist, no?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not necessarily. My first thought is that he got no contact on it and the assist came from the corner. Not sure the ball brushing his arm hair counts as a clear assist
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There was clear contact with his arm ffs
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah it was so clear that all the Spurs defenders were immediately protesting. Oh hang on....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jesus the pedantry

You could clearly see *with VAR* that there was contact with his arm
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s a hardly a facking assist - have a word with yourself. You’re making it sound like it was a deliberate action
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How does saying it was an assist suggest deliberate action?

The ball hit his arm, went to jesus and jesus scored. If the goal stood he would have gotten an assist. You can't assist a goal with your arm.

They should have had a pen for when rodri was fouled, fiar enough, but you can't actually have a problem with that goal being disallowed surely

As I understand it, those are the rules now. Ridiculous, but correct decision.

No issue with the goal disallowed, that’s the rule change this year, the Rodri one I was surprised about though.

We had plenty of chances though, we dropped points more down to poor finishing than anything else.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes we weren’t sharp enough which is what ultimately cost us.

Still finding it difficult to warm to var even if rules are the rules. Maybe we need one of these last minute overturns to go our way for a change and I’ll start backing it! Always a stinker to have a moment of ecstasy rudely interrupted with no real idea why to begin with

Definitely points dropped there though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ditto

If we had VAR last season, Kompany would been sent off and may be Liverpool wining the league
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Or Liverpool would have have had quite a few less points.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nope.

It was in an article a few weeks ago that if VAR was used last season we’d have won it but it wasn’t so let’s see how we get on this season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I saw that article. It took one penalty decision into account where Spurs were denied one against city where they may have missed it anyway or city may have scored again after.

Totally chose to ignore the penalty Spurs were denied late on in the league game at wembley against Liverpool.

Of course I have an issue with it being disallowed. It’s a ludricous decision reflective of a stupid change in the law. That wasn’t a deliberate handball, Skipp is actually holding Laportes arm - nothing he can do. Ridiculous to suggest that’s not a legitimate goal

posted on 17/8/19

KLS - there’s no way of knowing what effect VAR would have had on the league.

Firstly, much of it is subjective - just like the Kompany ‘red card’.

Secondly, and most importantly, it’s impossible to know what may or may not have happened if a certain decision had gone a different way.

Keep grasping at straws.
At least you already have one trophy thanks to VAR non-review when Adrian came off his line.

You see this is exactly what you have been thinking and saying last season. Just looking at what suits you. If VAR had done its job in the first place, Abraham penalty wouldn't have stood because he dived and the match wouldn't have gone to pen shoot out and hence no faking keeper off line argument.

As long as the rule is applied equally across board, I don't have a problem withgh that.
But I suspect Liverpool will get a lot of subjective favours from the VAR people during the course of this season.

Why the insult?

Grow up.

Thanks for linking the article though, helpfully backs up my point.

VAR is fine, its the incompetent people using it thats the problem. They got both big decisions today WRONG and I was a neutral watching.

posted on 17/8/19

Did that research take into account all the offside goals Liverpool scored?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Again paranoia. In the super cup there were two incidents not called back by VAR that could have been favourable to liverpool. And one incident favourable for chelsea.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
What? His contact changed the direction of the ball into Jesus path. I assumed it was with his head, but it was actually his arm and as per the the new rule the goal has to then be disallowed whether it was intentional or not. 100% correct decision, facking get over it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The rule is the problem. Leicester benefited from it last week and being at the ground I can tell you that the general feeling was Wolves had been completely robbed.

Just wait until this starts going against you - you’ll change your tune very quickly
