It's a good job they did have it or Martin Atkinson would have made a right horlicks of the Lindelof incident
If orange cards existed then that's what the Lindelof incident would have warranted.
This isn’t a dig at City, Utd or any other club. The people running the game are a joke
Yeah that is pretty ridiculous
To have VAR only at Prem grounds is a ridiculous decision and how that was agreed is beyond me.
Its a bit unfair isnt it? some teams can go through or out due to var whilst the others... struggle to see how they allowed this.
However its a bit late in the comp to be raising an issue with it now, cant say ive heard anything mentioned about it.
I’m pretty sure it is because of the cost and the ability to facilitate VAR. I think the FA opted out because some league one and below teams would need to spend significant money to install the required technology. Bit like hawk eye not been used in county cricket
If they can’t yet have it in all games they shouldn’t have it in any. Obviously not a fair and level playing field for all involved.
Don't like this clear and obvious error malarkey either. There is no way the lindelof red was clearly and obviously wrong. Yes I think ultimately it should only have been a yellow but this rule adds an element of subjectivity. Just let VAR pick the correct decision no matter what a la rugby
Op, Liverpool voted against the use of VAR this season.
Also, people going on about VAR because of the Swansea result should please go and view the game again.
There was still much time left fot us to get the winner. And before the 3rd goal, we had them on the ropes as they had run out of legs.
I hope ypu all write multple articles next time your team benefits from a ref error.
Didn't see this level of outrage when the ref gifted you an offisde goal vs West Ham.
Or when we were dumped out of the CL quarter finals last season with a catalogue of refereeing errors which went in your favour.

Behave yourself, you were soundly thrashed over two legs.😀
Why does it matter? In each game both sides are either being governed including VAR or in another game without. There's no advantage in each game.
The prem only rule is based on cost, that's all

Just ignore the OP then, this is about the FA cup and all teams playing under the same conditions.

What difference does it make though? I don't understand how this could give someone an unfair advantage. The idea behind VAR is the ref gets a second look but he does so for both sides in the tie so there's no advantage to one side

Dont know why you making it to a Liverpool versus city thing. And also please show me where Liverpool voted against it. From what I seen just googling Liverpool voted for it. I will stand corrected if you show me the proof but otherwise don't just come out with inaccurate posts for point scoring.

Guessing he's talking about the April 2018 vote that was for this season. It's coming in next season (19/20) after a separate vote held in November 2018.
Most clubs voted against VAR in April 2018 and I can understand why as the VAR trial games in English football during that time were absolutely awful.
It wasn't until the World Cup when non English refs (actual competent refs) had a go that it really worked well and that's what swayed the November vote
More poor decisions by our football authorities - what’s new?

Who said anyone was getting unfair advantage, stop putting words in my mouth.
I just think that if one game in a competition has VAR all should have it.
Mancini and Scruttocks I’m a little concerned how you’ve both failed to grasp what I’m saying
My grammar isn’t the best but it’s pretty clear to me that I was / am saying, how can the FA allow different games to be played under different rules in the same competition?
I don’t like VAR but if it’s brought in it can’t be brought in for certain games / grounds.
The FA have really outdone themselves here
I do agree with the OP to an extent. The only caveat I would say is there isn’t different rules, the difference is in their ability to enforce the existing rules.
Meltonblue.... you make a fair point but for me I looked at it from the point that the rule is there is no replays in one game but there is in another
I’m not sure I get the comparative? Replays are dependent on the round, it’s the same for everyone, and that’s about logistics of being able to fit the number of potential games into the season rather than rules.
