      Sigurdson offside on the goal for Everton but VAR doesn’t pick it up. Embarrassing week for VAR, messed up today, in the Newcastle game, Palace game and Bournemouth game.

      No wonder Mr VAR across the water is quiet today.

      The operators are the ones to blame. Probably off watching porn.

      The Everton incident is not offside. The Villa incident is not a VAR issue. The Newcastle incident is an error, the first factual error of the season. It was not picked up until after play resumed, so nothing could be done.

      Quote from chats
      Watching MOTD from last night - what's the point in VAR if we're not sending Tielemans off for that potential ankle breaker or giving Villa that last minute equaliser?

      Utter shambles really.

      We've seen similiar tackles get yellows before. VVD v Napoli last year comes to mind. He got suspended for the next game as a result. Unlike Ancelotti, I don't think any of us thought it was more than that. As usual with VAR, when it intervenes, people say it ruins the game and when it doesn't intervene, they ask what's the point? Under Riley's VAR, they're not going to intervene in subjective cases, and that was a subjective case.

      So far, it's worked well imo. While it's not got involved in enough subjective decisions for my liking, it's overturned almost all the factually wrong decisions it has had to, but not slowed the game down to the WWC long delays the sceptics were forecasting. It is also the main reason why we're still top of the league, after ruling out the City ghost goal v Spurs. Without that decision, we're not top. So I'm happy enough with VAR so far.

      Interesting piece on the BBC Sport website claiming there are at least four decisions that VAR have fu**ed up on so far since the season began.

      Nah, lfc across the water says that VAR made the decision so therefore must be the correct one.

      The level of ability the VAR has within the current English guidelines will mean very few decisions being over turned other than offsides.

      It has to be absolutely stone wall wrong to the point of the offender having to be charged with GBH before the VAR will over rule a referee who doesn't give a pen,  and about a foot of contact away from contact for a ref who does award a pen before replays showing it was a dive before they over rule him the other way too.

      It's very poor in its current guise and it smacks of referees who are too insecure to put the good of the game, and the accuracy of decisions ahead of their damaged egos if a they are proven wrong.

      As a result we are seeing defenders still getting away with murder.

      That Joel Matip decision.

      Might as well not bother with VAR if even the simplest of decisions are going to be ignored. Stone waller pen from my view in the kop.

      its a crazy situation when VAR is basically saying the on field ref got the decision wrong but not sufficiently wrong to overturn it.

      Mike Riley said 4 mistakes have already been made, after the Liverpool game I reckon that will be 5.
