Origi went down too easily. Was the handball a handball? Clearly. Both looked fair enough.

On a serious note, for once VAR got it right, if you look at the Origi incident, the ball had got away from him through a poor touch and he wouldn't have got to the ball before lindelof tapped his calf...handball could be classed as unlucky but in the eyes of the law it was handball...

Sky will also be gutted as they are desperate for Liverpool to win the league so they can do a program all about it.

Origi went down too easily. Was the handball a handball? Clearly. Both looked fair enough. I'm pretty sure that had Paul Marsden been in charge, the ref who gave Mansfield all of their free kicks when Town players came anywhere close to their personal space never mind making contact with them, Liverpool would have had a free kick To me VAR is still very subjective..... at times the officials will see what they want to see but I take your point that Origi did go down too easily but it was after he'd been fouled so I'd say Atkinson and/or the VAR official should have awarded a free kick to Liverpool Logged Offline 5 0 Reply: 4 - 120 The Old Codger October 20, 2019, 5:50pm Special Brew Drinker Posts: 9,900 Posts Per Day: 2.43 Reputation: 71.11% Rep Score: +44 / -19 Approval: +18,649 Quoted from FishOutOfWater I'm pretty sure that had Paul Marsden been in charge, the ref who gave Mansfield all of their free kicks when Town players came anywhere close to their personal space never mind making contact with them, Liverpool would have had a free kick To me VAR is still very subjective..... at times the officials will see what they want to see but I take your point that Origi did go down too easily but it was after he'd been fouled so I'd say Atkinson and/or the VAR official should have awarded a free kick to Liverpool Watching it back, Origi was on his way down before Lindelof touched him.

I hate VAR, it’s showed that it’s far from practical in football with the amount of controversy around it already, there’s too many grey areas in the rules and the only black and white issue is goal line technology which has been 100% perfect since it’s inception. They keep saying it needs time to bed in and everyone to adjust, absolute rubbish. There will still be the same issues in years to come. VAR isn’t suitable in football and needs disbanding as soon as possible in my opinion. Rant over 😅 "Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

So 5 minutes after the "goal" you get to celebrate or cuss dependant on the verdict.

Origi went down with what looked the most faintest of touches and the handball was pretty clear.   Logged Offline 2 0 Reply: 8 - 120 mimma October 20, 2019, 7:36pm Cocktail Drinker Posts: 1,538 Posts Per Day: 0.33 Reputation: 83.37% Rep Score: +12 / -2 Approval: +2,918 It was the faintest of touches with his arm and no way was it deliberate. They've changed the rule now to acomodate the incompetence of VAR. To me handball has to deliberate and not accidentally brushing an arm. It did not change the flight of the ball and made no difference. They will will be following cricket next and introduce hotspot to spot the faintest of touches. Where will all it end?
