I see that Klippety is playing the victim card again!! > **[Spurs-Liverpool replay would be right thing - Klopp](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67003386)** > > Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says a replay of the match against Tottenham "would be the right thing" after Luis Diaz's goal was wrongly disallowed. How many times have the wrong VAR decision or technology decision cost another team a game? How many times have those games been replayed. Yes it was a horrendous fuck up by VAR but please, stop playing the victim. I suppose at the replay his team wonā€™t be down to 10 men would they? ---

Surely if they played the game properly and didnā€™t look for every advantage (cheat) then next to no extra time would be added, so why would extending VAR be an issue - ? Iā€™ll get my coatā€¦. ---

> [@Polski\_Filip](#): > > That is pure corruption > Penalty to PSG after ball hits chest onto an arm. > Disgusting Apparently UEFA rejected the interpretation used by FIFA and the FA/PL so under their rules they decided Livramento was ā€œmaking his body biggerā€ and itā€™s handball. How on earth can you have different rules in different games in the same sport? And thatā€™s apart from the very special rules that apply to a few teams. ---

All this bollocks about VAR šŸ˜”šŸ˜” It would make things quicker if they just scrapped the cameras and off-pitch VAR officials and did what it was supposed to have done in the first place by simply giving the Big Six a ten point start at the beginning of the season.
