S-Clarke Posted 1 October, 2023 Share Posted 1 October, 2023 Liverpool have released a 'Club Statement' across all their media outlets due to the VAR/or non decision at the weekend. Everyone suffers with the decisions, look at Wolves on their first game of the season. Did they feel the need to push an official club statement down everyone's throats? Liverpool FC statement - Liverpool FC Such a nonsense club. They think they're so special. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR was supposed to eliminate the human error element of it, the only criticism should have been how much it slows the game down. The first step they need to take is stop pairing up referees as VAR/match official combos. Hire and train a group of people specifically to run VAR and have them randomly paired, you shouldn't have colleagues/mates working together in a role that literally requires you to say "you're wrong, change your mind in front of millions of people". There's also nothing wrong with having the VAR official just overrule the referee on the pitch. IIRC in NFL the referee doesn't go to the screen for every decision. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR weren't even paying attention to the game, thought it hadn't been flagged as offside so said decision stands even though he's clearly onside. That's not just another VAR blunder, and I can't stand Liverpool. If these people are allowed to carry on doing their "jobs" then there's no hope for VAR.

east-stand-nic Posted 5 October, 2023 Share Posted 5 October, 2023 Leicester look hot favourites at the moment but that can change with a bad run, which I actually think they will have at some stage. I do not think we will make automatic promotion this time around, but I do think it could end up being a very close league this season. Like Leicester, I cannot see Ipswich hanging on to second place. By Christmas it could be a totally different picture with West Brom higher, Leeds I think also have a lot more about them than they showed against us. All in all, it could be one of those rare seasons where no one runs away at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 9 October, 2023 Share Posted 9 October, 2023 Birmingham have dumped their manager, who has done better than us so far this season.

HarvSFC Posted 9 October, 2023 Share Posted 9 October, 2023 Football's weird. Everyone knows that Liam Rosenior was the brains behind Rooney at Derby. Rooney's just been dumped by DC United in the MLS with a 26.4%, while Eustace has Birmingham in the play offs. What more do they expect? Similar to Bournemouth who dumped O'Neil for a foreign name and haven't won a league game in their first 8. If their manager was called Nathan Jones...

I think my favourite bit is the young Reading lad who got through the bottom corner at 15 seconds, then realised there were no stewards between him and Swindon mush, so immediately turned round and ran back to safety.

Your average football fan hasn't been made aware that all the various initiatives such as Kick it Out and Respect are only really important when they don't intrude on the important business of making money. It must be quite annoying when fans take you at your word when it was only ever pantomime virtue signalling and never intended to be taken that seriously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
