ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[davek]

Yeah, I hear all that mate. What I’m still struggling with is the “why?”

Ive told you why.

 

[PM123]

The debate around VAR will only change when the RS are stung by it.

Napoli pen?

 

[davek]

What's technology got to do with it? The pen was given by the ref. VAR verified it. Whether there was VAR or not, LiVARpool were awarded the pen.

VAR is there to stop that error. It didn't. It gave it validity. It legitimises all major decisions against Liverpool's opponents and one's that go for them.

At the end of the day, it's a veneer of respectability and 'science' that seeks to shut down all competition with them and criticism of them.

If this were happening in Spain for either Barcelona OR Madrid, there would be carnage in the media. In fact, Liverpool's preferred status in this country is akin to that afforded to Madrid in Franco's Spain. It's only the "infallibility" and "objectivity" of the technology that hands any greater credibility to Liverpool now.

but it was a pen without VAR ad the ref had already given it!

 

[PM123]

It was a pen.

Lol your hypocrisy is boundless

 

[maccavennie]

Yeah that's a pen all day long

If you've got sh*t in your eyes

Diving beaut

 

[arch stanton]

if that was a penalty, its not the football I knew and played

 

[abcdef]

Napoli pen?

Europe, not UK. In game they could afford to lose.

 

[maccavennie]

if that was a penalty, its not the football I knew and played

Its not a pen mate, it's as blatant a dive as you'll see where VAR gets about 10 opportunities to see it but decides its a pen.

Its an absolute farce

 

[abcdef]

Wow

Lazy response. Incapable of engaging with any points raised and incapable of properly posting an image.

 

[Tea_drinker]

93rd minute at Anfield if var had overruled the ref...well...who knows what wouldve happened.

 

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

When even a kopite such as Danny Murphy admits it wasn't a pen then there is no doubt left whatsoever that it wasn't. Scandalous decision.

 

[FOXINPEACE]

Only just seen the penalty incident properly. If that's not simulation I don't know what is. VAR doesn't eradicate big club bias then

Its as blatant a dive as your likely to see.

Funny thing is as well is that no retrospective action can be taken even though it lead to a decision that was wrong as VAR checked it and said "yeah that's sound that, deffo a penalty"
