Jürgen Klopp spoke about an incident involving a Rodri handball against Everton in 2022 that wasn’t given.....

“You pick yourself up and go again after not winning the league from a goal from Vinnie Kompany or a not given handball from Rodri. It was a crazy situation that handball,” Klopp said.....



“I don’t know where we played, but we were on the bus already and the game was on the tele.



“We watched it and the whole bus shouted ‘Handball! Wait, he’s not getting it?” You can’t change it, but not getting there and then having three weeks to prepare for a Champions League final, these few years were mad,” Klopp said.

It’s been a couple of years now, but it’s hard to understate just how poor a decision this was.

Even Dermot Gallagher agreed at the time that Rodri’s handball should’ve been given.

“It is a penalty, no doubt. I think the VAR inspected it for too long. Paul Tierney is looking through players, he can’t see the incident and Rodri is covering him. I think this should have been a VAR decision,” Gallagher said.

Of course, if a penalty was given, there’s no guarantee that it would’ve been converted, but if Everton did manage to draw that game, the tide of the title race may have been turned in Liverpool’s favour.....

This decision clearly still plays on Klopp’s mind at least a little bit.....

Var can work and if does work well in Europe

Issue in the Prem is the clown in charge and that spanners using it

7 Hag's dropped Hojlund. Who's playing up top for Utd tonight?

That silly kunt across the water going to go in meltdown. 
God help us all when he does his weekly rounds. 😂

Well done Wolves.

With the addition of semi automated offside, there is now even less use for VAR seeing as the only thing it gets right.....is telling whether player X is on or off.

We can't get rid of the referees, so in my opinion the next best thing would be to remove the technology they're unable to equip.

VAR has impacted negatively on referee's decision making, increases the risk of doubt not only on themselves but amongst others.

Also I don't like how it's used, VAR in his ear telling him he needs to look at such and such.......the on field ref should have the authority at all times....meaning if he believes he may have missed something at full speed that needs looking at again, he should be the 1 to make that call.
