The fact that Liverpool needed some help from the referee and VAR speaks volumes of how good they've been. Pool are without their 4 best players but even so Forest have been solid and just not had that bit of luck, should have gone 1-0 up just before Pool scored. You can see the drop off in Liverpools squad though, nowhere near the level of City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Not the Joe Worrell I remember from 3 years ago. Weak and constantly giving up the ball in stupid positions. What a game. Sign him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The disparity in times it’s taking to review incidents is shocking too. Both of tonight’s decisions were done and dusted in seconds yet our decisions take over 3 minutes to find a fault to cancel out a goal. it’s corrupt 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the outcome looks completely different dependent on camera angle, them not having a perfect angle, and not having the absolute precision to detect bang on when the player played the ball means that there is actually a quite considerable margin of error with these offside decisions, and treating them as "matters of fact" that can be ruled on with absolute certainty is one of the biggest problems I have with the implementation VAR. Of course in this case, if it was anything but a big club vs a second division side on the cusp of a potential giantkilling, we'd be saying "stop looking for excuses to rule goals out" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would say though, is the fact the VAR decisions are allowed to be presented differently in every match (sometimes using the original camera angle, sometimes not, sometimes drawing lines from shoulders, sometimes not, sometimes choosing a frame with the ball already in motion, sometimes not etc.) means, effectively, that VAR always has wriggle room of about plus-or-minus 8-10 inches as they put together the visual evidence they are gong to present. And, naturally, they get to decide which team gets the benefit of that moveable margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 It looked offside to me, and I’m not surprised it was given for Liverpool. But the penalty claim wasn’t a penalty, he dragged his foot to engineer contact. It looked too obvious to fool the ref. Now whether it would have been given if that was Salah engineering contact… well, we all know the answer to that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly wouldn't be surprised if it was all currupt, from the draw, picking non league teams to play top Premier league teams for a bit of money for the lower leagues and entertainment for the fans. Then it's easy enough to knock them out if they get a bit close to the final. I mean if Forest played MK Dons in the semis or final, it wouldn't make UEFA much money would it, an we know it's all about the £££££££ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
