[QUOTE="Cazza, post: 563688, member: 5725"] The offside decision was dreadful- definitely 'up there' in terms of VAR cock-ups. However, they are now embarrassing themselves with their 'statement'. Liverpool talking about "sporting integrity" when they and five other clubs were quite happy to shaft the remaining 14 Premiership teams when it looked like it would benefit them. This sort of stuff has happened to loads of other 'lower' teams- our game at Anfield just last week saw Bowen clearly taken down in the area, yet VAR apparently didn't even check it. It didn't even appear on the highlights. Robertson basically had free reign to kick everyone in sight, VVD similar. The ref literally gave Liverpool every decision, but this happens with such routine regularity, that fans of the Sky 6 often seem oblivious. If teams like Wolves, WHU, Palace etc try to make a fuss, no one listens. As for Jota, totally serves him right. Horrible snide of a player and usually gets away with it.
