My VAR opinion is that they give pens for handball far too easily

Unless it's giving my team pens in which case it's good

wrong but fast is better than wrong but slow, and maybe better than right but slow

ive come to the conclusion that fast but (possibly) wrong trumps every other option.

Var is still making the same mistakes refs made because its still refs with the ultimate decision. Now just instead of watching a player run the entire length of the field just to turn around and see a flag up for a goal he was a mile onside for you just get everyone standing around gormlessly after any possible incident while they check for a blade of grass being disturbed 4 minutes previous to the goal and they still get it wrong.

Get rid of it.

Liverpool Football Club acknowledges PGMOL’s admission of their failures last night. It is clear that the correct application of the laws of the game did not occur, resulting in sporting integrity being undermined.

We fully accept the pressures that match officials work under but these pressures are supposed to be alleviated, not exacerbated, by the existence and implementation of VAR.

It is therefore unsatisfactory that sufficient time was not afforded to allow the correct decision to be made and that there was no subsequent intervention.

That such failings have already been categorised as “significant human error” is also unacceptable. Any and all outcomes should be established only by the review and with full transparency.

This is vital for the reliability of future decision-making as it applies to all clubs with learnings being used to make improvements to processes in order to ensure this kind of situation cannot occur again.

In the meantime, we will explore the range of options available, given the clear need for escalation and resolution.

the good news is that even if the VAR officials gets sacked they had a successful midweek audition officiating in the UAE league so they should be OK to keep making mortgage payments

Grey Hunter's next target.

It's great that we've given up all the joy of being able to celebrate goals and having continuous play in exchange for the calls being blatantly hosed up by the VAR anyway.

It’s more the interpretation of handball being “no contact ever, that ball is lava” instead of a higher standard of intent and action (ye olde ball to hand vs hand to ball guideline) being kept, IMO. VAR just lets them check more and apply the rule.
