I’m a LFC supporter but changes are required that benefit all clubs . Consistency is also a major problem.

You are sprouting an opinion that is not based on facts and in this WOKE culture it seems that the people that speak the truth risk offending people i.e. you, simply because you cannot stand it when others disagree with you. This is not about LFC, this is about incompetent officials ruining the game for EVERYONE and then so-called journalists who are supposed to be unbiased, having a go at LFC because they do not want to go against the establishment. For evil to triumph it just needs good men to do NOTHING, and that is what you want.

Are those the seasons where stats prove that Liverpool were the worst done to by VAR. only daft rival fans use the word LiVARpool. We got the least decision right by VAR during this period so look things up before spouting nonsense.

Only dubbed LiVARpool by idiots who didn’t actually look at the data but rather looked at a couple of decisions and decided that every decision went Liverpools way. Even if the accusation was true it would be the same argument that the system doesn’t work as well as it should so it needs improving. Liverpool have at least had the guts to say something.

So we benefited by a decision being overturned (offside in each case) that was the correct decision. Hmmm

If you knew the actual facts, we are also the team most penalised by VAR since it’s introduction, which makes a mockery of you go to agenda… let’s not have actual facts and evidence get in the way of your bias and prejudice.

I am very happy to continue this whole conversation with hard facts, as opposed to you using childish taunts using Liverpool FC’s name. Personally you are coming across as the uneducated pundits who equally invent nonsense rather than fact.

We dont need you sympathy and people knownthe truth VAR has had to rectify reallt bad decisions but nowbtheyvsimpky refusing to do so. Without VAR there would be so many bad calls against Liverpool not being rectified. We have been robbed of at least two Premier League titles. I do not recall other clubs having two apologies inside the first 8 games so please piss off.

Only if you ignore statistics for those years. All analysis done shows this is confirmation bias from rival fans. We lost more points than gained from VAR decisions

Strange one this one! Liverpool only vehemently complains when they are at the wrong end of decisions.

There were a period between 2018-2021 when VAR decisions always seemed to benefit them hence it being dubbed LIVARPOOL.

No sympathy from me @ all.

What about the lineman on field, why raise the flag, in such clear situation he had an excellent angle to see.
What about the penalty on Gomez?
What about stopping the game in a great opportunity for a goal, Selah stole the ball from Romero?
What about the first yellow for Robertson and Jota?
There were too many one-sided mistakes by VAR and the referees on the field

Incredible that people are still getting offended on behalf of self proclaimed superiors that you can’t point out somethings not working & can be improved going forward. Can’t quite work out if the backlash is fear of upsetting the relevant establishment or bigotry because of who it is pointing out things can be improved for the betterment of all, again, while the rest just complain to each other then leave it well alone because that’ll show them eh. If the same thing happened to your club last season, last game, do something so it improves, just accepting it happens clearly isn’t working is it?
