I know motd can’t show everything but...
in the first half a defender grabbed Salah in a headlock. It was said in commentary that is was good defending as he let him go in time... 🤣
 
That VAR decision for Firmino's goal was a disgrace. Surely you cant score with an armpit?? It needs to be jibbed asap.

He’s level surely . So that’s on .
Klopp needs to have a word with Mane about his dive .
Only seen motd their crap to busy advertising what’s coming up to people already watching.

Thought the Delefeu one was a pen as it let the keeper close him down when he stumbled.

Thing I don’t like is when the pundits do their summary they show things they never showed in the game.

Funny how the media are slating VAR, when it was them highlighting every refereeing mistake that caused it to be brought in.

VAR is looking like more trouble than what it’s worth.

I’d like to see them trial a system similar to cricket where each team has a few appeals each and that’s your lot.

No no no and no. How would that help refs and improve the game? Scrap VAR until the standard of refereeing has improved. The only way to do that is improve the quality and not just be happy with the likes of Moss, Friend, Mason, Tierney etc

I'm pretty certain if you were paying £1k a season to go the game you'd have a completely different view on VAR.

I would bin VAR, but then we have to accept some decisions will be wrong.

You will never get to a point were Refs make no mistakes and that’s ok until it affects your team.

There has to be a middle ground, whether that’s changing some of the rules or teams taking more responsibility or less media analysis etc. It needs everyone taking part and helping to move it forward.

Wrong decisions are still being made with the tech.

I'm not expecting every decision to be correct, I dont think anybody is expecting it. It's not ok if it doesnt effect your team because as it's been shown in recent weeks, its only a matter of time before it does.

Totally agree with your last point.

Improve the refs, demote the under performing ones and you'd see an improvement.

It’s been brought in because there was too much human error, they aren’t going to stop it overnight (no matter how much we want them too)

It would be interesting if they UEFA/FIFA/FA could do a study of the Countries/Leagues it’s not being used in against those using it and seeing how it’s affecting Leagues/Attendances etc.
 
Another sat night Sunday morning talking about VAR 😖. That aside, I said earlier this season when Sterling was offside by a fingernail, how can you be offside with something you cannot score with. At the moment, dragging two grandkids across the Pennines at all hours over the weekend and watching VAR kill a game, not being able to enjoy a cliffhanger goal with the fear of VAR hanging over your neck is killing the enjoyment for me.
Gonna be a lot of soul searching when it comes to Season ticket renewal for Tash. Quite frankly am pissd off with it all.
