UEFA Super Cup - Liverpool v Chelsea – Wednesday 14th August ** spoilers **

How can you have VAR and still give that...

and they said no penalty to the handball var review earlier 2....

 

[Ayahuasca]

There’s no point having VAR if this is the way it’s going to be used.

 

[Purdy]

Probably didnt want the first female ref of a major male final to get a decision like that wrong so agreed with her decision.

No way, it’s way worse letting that stand now and it’s decided the match most likely

 

[omnomnom]

Doesnt have to be contact to be a foul btw.

 

[sneakysnail]

They might have a better angle.

I dont think the angle matters. the first touch spooned the ball right off the pitch and they were already on the way down. who cares if the keeper grazed them afterwards

 

[robfosters]

Refs lucky to have var in these situations. Takes the heat off them.

I can see why the ref gave the pen initially.

 

[Purdy]

Doesnt have to be contact to be a foul btw.

Okay what’s the rule when you were never going to make contact given travelling directions?

 

[Ayahuasca]

There’s no way that’s a penalty.

 

[sneakysnail]

suspend the var team for that 1 lol

 

[Tombstone]

Having seen those replays again at that break, no chance its a penalty. Absolutely insane that VAR gives that.

 

[chroniclard]

Nope, total dive, both the Ref and VAR failed.

 

[antijoke]

Joke

 

[zophiel]

its all good an extra 30 minutes of tempo game in that heat, after pre season.

good for the other teams fighting for the top of the table

 

[adam cool dude]

Pedro has been amazing tonight.

 

[zophiel]

pedro and kante run that midfield for chelsea and henderson has put a few miles in too

Absolute balls that Chelsea get an extra days rest than Pool before their next game.

 

[zophiel]

its not like either are going to have hard games on the weekend.

Liverpool haven't played since Friday.

 

[robfosters]

Liverpool haven't played since Friday.

Oh yeah, good point sir.

 

[Mark1989]

I still don't see the penalty at all, forgetting that over all its been a meh game.

See what luck brings us now then
