The red card was very harsh as well. Looked bad in slow-mo or freeze-frame but it was just unfortunate that a tackle turned into a foul as he stood on the ball. It wasn't a dangerous high-speed lunge or at all malicious, but the VAR referees were just itching to give it. A pity that the on-pitch referees don't have the balls to stand by their original decisions more often. Goals have always been scored due to good or bad luck, but it doesn't help the game when players are sent off for bad luck. Wouldn't even have been a foul a few years ago, but they seem determined to ban tackling altogether.

VAR definitely means that more decisions are correct.
BUT it takes so much away from the excitement of the game, I think that has got to be looked at.
As for that farce yesterday the goal would've been ruled out without VAR, then people would be asking for it lol.
I prefer it how we have it tbh......
Not sure about that , the linesman puts his flag up as a matter of course these days, it’s the easy option knowing it will be checked

As was the first yellow for Jota, he didn’t touch him

VAR ...League 2 & Grimsby so far down the food chain does'nt affect our way of life. .
People have short memories sometimes. Crystal Palace and Southampton cup matches spring to mind !!

I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

I haven't seen the first yellow card, but where in the rules does it say there has to be contact for it to be a yellow card? And I have no sympathy whatsoever for him because whether the first card was fair or not Jota knew he was on a card and the second yellow card was a nasty challenge and deserved a card.

I'm all for VAR but what a shambles yesterday when Luis Diaz had a perfectly good goal disallowed.
Klopp must be fuming.
If they didn't have VAR the goal would still have been disallowed and Klopp would still be crying about an injustice. I can't understand how VAR got it so wrong though and the statements from Howard Webb don't explain how the wrong button was pressed. Did the VAR look at it thinking the goal had been awarded and pressed "continue" thinking they didn't have to intervene. I mean you didn't even need lines to see it was a significant margin onside. That would make more sense than what the statement seemed to suggest as the decision was so quick that they clearly didn't draw lines before issuing their decision which they would have 100% had to do to overrule an on field decision for a standard offside ruling. Oh and the Curtis Jones red card was 100% correct. It doesn't matter if he skimmed the top of the ball. Red card every day of the week..

Surely that can be argued both ways?

Like you say you haven’t seen it 🤷🏼♂️. He was running behind the player and he fell over his own feet . The ref thought it was jota catching him

I didn't see the second Jota yellow, but he was incredibly unlucky for the first. The opponent ran across in front of him, he didn't make an attempt to foul the player and I don't think there was even any contact. The referee just guessed he had tripped him.

The second was a yellow ,all day long that’s it . It wasn’t nasty at all, mis timed and silly but certainly not nasty
