So new VAR protocols introduced after last weeks human error, whats the thoughts on this?

As much as it may be needed, i feel it's unfair on the teams that have fallen foul of the previous human errors/ incompetence/gross negligence. 12 apologies this seaeon and its only 7weeks old!!

The main question is, Is it fair to change protocols mid season? I dont think it is.
The integrity of the competition has been brought into disrepute for me.

Not sure if you’re being serious here La
Or had too much sauce

So you think change is needed,but you don’t want them?
Is this in the hope that others fall foul to errors?
Imagine if it happened to Liverpool again.
Not sure the internet could handle that

If they don’t change the protocols, some errors won’t be eradicated. Also, all the teams were subject to the same protocols, and all team will be subject to the same new protocols going forward. Those that lost out to mistakes previously could fall foul again if the rules aren’t changed, as well as other teams falling foul for the first time.

I feel the integrity of the game is enhanced by improving the protocols.

I understood why they changed the protocols, changing them through out the season doesnt sit right with me. It's similar to when the Carabao Cup uses VAR only for the semi's and final.

That is a ridiculous way to look at it.

A serious human error was made last week. We all know it. So they change protocol to try and reduce odds of that happening again. If they didn't, and another huge error was made this season, it could just as easily happen against Liverpool again, as with any other team. And if it happened to Liverpool again, I can guarantee Liverpool fans would be screaming it is a disgrace nothing was done immediately after it first happened

Its not ridiculous, its an alternative view.

This is not about LIVERPOOL, it is about the PL as a whole.

Why?

It’s just another quick fix, a temporary weld on the clown car to drag it through another few performances. It won’t be long before a different wheel falls off.

Perfectly described.

Postecoglou says in an interview he thinks VAR should be scrapped yet people think the narrative is still about Liverpool? Give it a rest.

Some just cant see the woods for the trees.

Why?

Post 46752 clearly states why.

Whinging?? Not at all. I have asked for those who made the error to be held accountable.

Just been watching The Big Match from 1978, think it was Arsenal vs Wrexham and Middlesbrough vs Leyton Orient. I know the pitches weren't great then but the standard of football on display was truly shocking
I must have seen 3 clear penalties in the second game alone, and people moan about refs these days

Well done referee
Like to see a few more players given cards for diving.

Stupidity from Bissouma.

It’s like they don’t realise that when they’re on a yellow one more and they’re off.
Same with Jota last wk.

I love seeing old episodes like that. Talk about different eras . It's why you really can't compare then and now. Great stuff though.
