They even said on the screen at Goodison ‘no handball by Rodri’ and never showed the ‘offside’ at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely no doubt on that one - it would have broken his watch. Ah. See what you mean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes when they make shitty VAR decisions they do have a habit of coming out afterwards and claiming they made a different decision that was slightly less shitty but largely baffling. I seem to remember them doing that with a completely blatant offside when we played against erm...oh who was it again? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, it was a penalty all day long in my opinion. Awful decision. But I keep seeing these kind of pictures. The ball DID hit him on the Sleeve line, which is what I assume saved him Edited February 26, 2022 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2022 this is where it ACTUALLY hit him. Still a penalty in my opinion. But not as deliberately misleading as that earlier picture 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I hadn’t really paid the picture much attention on that tweet in was more the comparison of events. Don’t think it would have detracted from the point if they showed the picture of the actual contact on his bicep rather than make it look worse than it was, but then again they do have a Klopp profile pic and handle.

But not as deliberately misleading as that earlier picture I'd agree, the first picture is misleading, but the ball has hit him on the join between bicep and forearm - it's as blatant as handball as you could hope for. The league have come out and said the decision was no handball, nothing to do with anything else - Michael Riley should be sacked, this evening, in shame. It's a Masi moment. Everton have been cheated by the people that are supposed to prevent cheating. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I struggle to believe that a trained referee with the benefit of multiple replays can be so incompetent as to make that decision in error. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 26, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 26, 2022 If City win the title and Everton go down - that bad decision could be worth a couple of hundred million pounds. That much money brings unusual pressures. That's a nice way of saying "bent as f***". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 But but imagine if they draw that game and don't end up winning the league. What about all that dirty money the Prem big wigs would miss out on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted February 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2022 If VAR is legitimate, I just don’t see how these kinds of decisions can keep being given to the top teams. I just watched Man U v Leeds from last week, and if that ref wasn’t corrupt, i’m a dutchman. McTominay could have been sent off about 4 times.

Five Ken McNaughts Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 The Sky anchorman, VAR booth, and PGMOL are all desperately swimming for the shore on this one. Throwing in the non-offside of Richarlison, talking about the position of the ref, whether his assistants should have helped him more... all of it pure obfuscation. And this is after they delayed any discussion for 30 minutes because of some Abramovich story that had no place in post-match analysis. No, this was the day the Premier League finally jumped the shark. The only level of plain-sight corruption left for them to go to is a referee removing the ball from the net and saying “Nope. No goal. No reason. Just nope. Play on...” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lines weren't drawn for it by VAR. If they decide it's handball then they go and make sure it wasn't offside, they decided its not handball so the offside was never checked. It looked very close.
