The handball rule is pathetic.
If that's a foul then the game is finished.
The above statement is my opinion, that’s all.
How do you know how invested or devoted I am? Or are you just being the argumentative tool you always are?
Hopefully that will come. Surely Vardy will be in his ear, Rodgers will be working on it in training. He has the touch, skill and vision.

Agreed, wasted several good positions towards the end with poor decisions or execution.

Why VAR did not intervene to award Man City penalty vs Spurs
Man City drew against Tottenham on Sunday after Gabriel Jesus' injury-time goal was disallowed for handball.
The video assistant referee did not intervene to award Manchester City a penalty in two instances against Tottenham because it was not deemed that the on-field referee had made a clear and obvious error in not doing so.
Spurs forward Erik Lamela grappled City midfielder Rodri to the ground while attempting to defend a first-half corner before Aymeric Laporte was tugged back by Oliver Skipp in the build-up to Gabriel Jesus' disallowed injury-time goal.
MEN Sport put both issues to the Premier League after full-time and they offered the following response.
"The VAR is constantly monitoring the match.
"VAR will be used only for 'clear and obvious errors' or 'serious missed incidents' in four match-changing situations: goals; penalty decisions; direct red-card incidents; and mistaken identity.
"But factual decisions such as offsides, and the issue of whether a player is inside or outside the penalty area, are not subject to the 'clear and obvious' test.
"If the VAR sees an error has been made in such a situation they will intervene, regardless of how marginal the decision is.
"There will be a high bar for the VARs to intervene on subjective decisions, to maintain the pace and intensity of matches."
Meanwhile, Ilkay Gundogan has called for a rule change after City saw a goal disallowed for a second Premier League match in succession.
"Today's VAR decision is really hard to take," Gundogan tweeted. "Any attacker that commits handball, intentional or not, is now ruled a free kick? And if you’re defending it’s fine?
"It only disadvantages the attacking team. In my opinion this rule needs to be changed."

True. All about doing well in the mini-league of 6-7 clubs at the bottom. I wonder if he was a little intimidated at Anfield (not the first player to be so) and given the state of the game simply snatched at the chances where he's now more confident and has that split second of extra time good strikers seem to find

These are the sort of nuggets that the premier league attracts - such a sad state of affairs.

To be fair though Phil he has "supported Chelsea since 04". 😂
I agree he’s a numpty, but the premier league isn’t the issue. There’s plenty of em in other leagues too.

To be honest since we started winning stuff. We have had a generation of young fans that quite frankly are planks. Dont get me wrong we have a fair share of elderly nutters as Most clubs do. But pre match in Mary dees sees the wrong side of football fans. Fortunately it is a minority.

People used to moan at referees, and now moan at VAR.
The actual problem for a long time has been the openness of the rules to different interpretations.
The incident @ citeh last night was a classic example. Correct interpretation of a rule that might be called questionable by some.
Over the next 12 months I'm hoping VAR will highlight the flaws in the rules and help correct them. Making the game fairer for all teams and reducing the odious whining and blaming of others.
A little optimistic but you never know

Could it be said that they weren’t real fans?
Or is that line reserved for when Liverpool fans push people into fountains,throw things at busses & fight on the underground?
