We can both agree that during the 2018/2019 season, when Liverpool won their first EPL title, they were dubbed LiVARpool because of several instances in which VAR played a crucial role in their matches. In the Champions League, the same could be said about Real Madrid.
Yeah, definitely were known as that. Although, I don't think that has anything to do with Liverpool, it's just incompetency from VAR, rather than corruption. I know some might think it's corruption, and to be honest with some of the decisions, even when they're looking at still images, and have all the tools at their disposal, some of the decisions are absolutely baffling, even leaving the commentators baffled.
Why does VAR appear to be inept whenever Liverpool plays,
and the majority of VAR decisions favor them? If it's not a case of corruption or an inside job, I'm at a loss for what else to say.
So, I do get that, but really I just think the people behind VAR, and the decisions need to be held accountable. After all, if a player cheats or a manager cheats they'll have it in the neck.
Neither seen nor heard a ref that was held accountable for a bad decision that ruined a game, the only thing we hear is an apology. The ref who ended the game in the 85th minute during the AFCON is still officiating games, with no penalty or action taken against him. FIFA officials are among the most well-protected individuals on the planet.
Maybe with time as we move further in to the VAR era and the technology improves, the remote referees just might be held to account when they get it badly wrong.
What's the need for VAR when refs are still making decisions though
