Optimistic Nut Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 With VAR, there should be no need to dive. So every exaggeration of contact should be viewed as cheating. Indeed, it can also be a foul AND simulation. It really is exhausting how little action there is divers, and serial divers. It needs a referee to one day award the penalty and book the forward. Because refs seldom give a penalty unless the player goes down though, it's hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 These rats are going to win it and it’ll be unbearable. I don't like divine righters like Liverpool and Man U, but Liverpool's CL win was nowhere near as bad (i.e., excessively lauded) as I expected. Maybe the silly handball rule having a big say was a factor, I don't know. Even if Liverpool win the league, it's Euros the next summer with the semis and final at Wembley and a more than decent England team. The press will soon move onto that.

ohmelads Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I can't see any foul on Mane but proving a 'clear and obvious error' is difficult in these situations. Contact is perfectly allowed but if there's any contact at all, however harmless, they will say it's not a clear and obvious error by the referee. I had hoped that VAR would clamp down on diving but for strikers it's still worth going to ground under any contact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was a pen then literally you can’t touch anyone in the box I haven't seen it but if you touch someone in the box you are asking for trouble. It sounds like it was clumsy from Albrighton with Mane making the most of it, but if contact is made, it's a foul isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 People being shocked that Liverpool get all of the decisions after our game last season. Amazing. Still convinced that VAR was introduced specifically for the likes of Liverpool to exploit it as much as possible. It wasn't to get the correct decision but to give it to the correct team. They're still throwing themselves everywhere and getting soft ones. Collapsing under the slightest contact is cheating. Contact =/= foul. Absolutely refuse to believe that pen is given in the other box. It would have gone to VAR and he wouldn't have given it. Not in a million years.
