    October football: VARy bad decisions

    Thread title's all I've got. So far as I'm aware nothing actually interesting is happening or set to happen at the moment so I guess just keep bitching about VAR in here if you like.

    And only one game today as well? Even the fixture list has given up.

    Only one men’s prem game on today. I’m shocked and appalled at the lack of inclusivity in your post and will be calling for both a boycott of your future threads and for the police to arrest you for upsetting me.

    There’s a game on Monday and on Tuesday this week. The latter being Luton vs Burnley which has 0-0 all over it.

    West Brom/Stoke seemed to happen about 8 times a year.

    This one will only be happening this year. In the top flight at least.

    “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.”

    I expected as much

    A two team league?

    That's a funny statement up above. Love the shade of "failures" plural.

    The only interesting thing which isn't be clarified is what the error was. I can only assume that, somehow, the VAR room didn't realise the goal had been disallowed on the pitch and so gave it a cursory check complete as the alternative scenario [pressing the wrong button but just going with it] seems a lot more mental. Oh wait, I see that has been confirmed.

    Fine, one team league.

    Although they did win it a couple of years ago.

    Also, on the lol sports lawyering front [I assume this has been rejigged in the VAR era] but didn't there used to be some sort of rule where if the game was restarted the wrong way then the result was voided? I'm pretty sure a club tried to argue that once in some context or other [obviously unsuccessfully in my mind].

    Here it is:

    Was going to say both of what, forgetting there was another red card.

    I didn't see it yesterday, but was the guy that got a second yellow for Forest given it after a VAR check or something? That's what I thought I read somewhere, but that's unpossible, right?

    I thought that too. It's fucked to the point they need to bin it off until it's fixed.

    On that note, did Egghead watch that viral clip of Amrabat vs Mbappe at WC and think he could play a bald Berber as an EPL fullback? Get the fuck out of the league lad, I need a new face to lol at.

    This surely has to be the first time in the Prem era that we've gone into a game with Chelsea as favourites, I'll be genuinely disappointed if we don't get a win tonight.

    Although a quick look at the odds says the bookies still favour Chelsea, bit surprised at that.

    That’s because the Champions of XG are due a win and a bit win at that. Bookies too scared to leave the odds too long.

    1-0 Fulham. Willian (58’), Caicedo sent off (36’)

    Palmer is a ridiculously good footballer.

    Enzo back playing deeper/closer to caicedo and Chelsea pissing it. No surprises

    And so at last for Chelsea, a net has rippled: and indeed, it has rippled twice in a trice.

    Still can't decide if Peter Drury is horrendous or great.

    Thoughts and prayers for those VAR cunts tonight who are sweating it out like Russell Brand if he'd actually have been guilty of anything.

    How many of them are there in that room, two? The "should we intervene?..."-"nah" exchange in that minute or so after goal was given will take them down.

    All of the language used and actions like this have me convinced they're going to at least try it.

    Clearly coming from the Americanised ownership too as Klopp was miffed by it but wanted to move on.

    They just want it for the lolz.

    You have to wonder, at what point, one of the however many people in the room they have said to another, isn't it meant to be 1-0 to Liverpool?

    As pointed out on MNC, the idiotic robot code they have to talk to each other in is as much to blame as anything. I'm not really a great fan of the TMO in rugger, but the one thing they have hit upon after however many years is the clear and open dialogue, in language people can understand that you now get, rather than insane shouty mess PGMOL rolled out recently.

    I got on an easyjet flight with Vinicius earlier in the year, and haven't been able to take him seriously since. If he's spearheading this Fulham outfit in the absence of any goals from Raul Jimenez then they're bang in trouble.
