That’s correct and it was the correct decision, so how did it favour a big club as you mentioned.

It didn't favour anyone. Had it not been in use, the same decision would have been made.

Exactly, but I was not the one that suggested VAR is favouring the big clubs post 15298 ?

But you are just picking one incident that is unrelated to the point being suggested in that post.

Exactly, if someone suggests VAR is favouring big clubs and a correct decision suggests otherwise, why is it wrong to suggest the initial comment is wrong. And how exactly is it unrelated, when VAR overturned a decision it is 100% related.

He's on a wind up trying to suggest that Southampton are the big club that got the decision in their favour rather than address the point that the ref over turned a decision against Man City and correctly revoked the red card, but incorrectly reversed the penalty decision.

VAR didn't overturn it. The assistant ref flagged for offside and VAR confirmed it. Nothing was overturned in the decision you're talking about.

I don't think you understand the definition of "overturned" which is unfortunate.

VAR didn’t “overturn” the offside call - it confirmed that the offside call was correct
VAR went in favour of the “big club” when they overturned the penalty and red card

Palace unlucky not to have been given a penalty against Liverpool when the score was 0-0. I wonder what the decision would have been if a Liverpool player had gone down under that challenge in front of the Kop.

So that's Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City who all should have had penalties awarded against them today but didn't. I'm sure that it's all just a coincidence that they happen to be three of the big 6 teams playing against smaller clubs. VAR should be binned and just let the refs get it wrong on their own in favour of the big teams like the good old days.

Why do players take their shirt off after scoring?
They know it’s a yellow,idiots.

They think a yellow is worth paying to show off their muscles. Or, they think they have a vitally important message to get across by writing a message on their under shirt. Vanity

Not seen a definitive reply of the Benteke one but they said on 5Live it the exact type of challenge that would have resulted in a penalty last season because there was “contact” but this season with the contact having to be one that makes the player go down as opposed to the player going down feeling the contact ?

Guess will depend on the player and the situation- Salah did it yesterday when he scored at a vital moment and just seemed to get caught up it all -vanity certainly not something associated with Salah

I still can't believe that after all this time these overpaid morons are still removing their shirts after scoring.

I’ve just seen the Walker tackle, it’s good the refs are going to the tv monitors but it beggars belief that he didn’t award a penalty.
Hard luck on Southampton.

The Liverpool defender stepped across and stuck his leg out to block Benteke who was going for the ball. It looked like it took Benteke down rather than him looking for it. Would have had to have been a red card as well as the defender wasn't trying to play the ball.
