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

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.

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?
