Re: The VAR thread

Liverpool for one on the wrong end of VAR decisions today - all I hasten to add correct ones too.
A spiked interview by Klopp complaint about various things afterwards and Jordan Henderson saying he would scrap VAR. How the leopard has changed its spots all of a sudden!
What goes round come round

You can guarantee because it is the media darlings who are now complaining, that this will gain some traction.
I thought this forum was for discussing refereeing rather than for airing club bias. Liverpool have had eight decisions against them through VAR this season, no other club has more than four. Liverpool have also lost one of their key players for the season and VAR failed to identify the violent conduct that caused the injury.

My question was how could the Brighton defender contort himself so that no part of his body was beyond the line?

I'd need to see some stats on this, but I would imagine a team like Liverpool get themselves into more attacking positions than the likes of Burnley, so the law of averages suggests there are more decisions at that end of the field that will go to VAR when they're involved.

I know VAR also includes defensive situations, but like I said, your figure of eight needs some context.
