You have to wonder how VAR failed to give a penalty to Fulham yesterday. Clearly, the defender kicks the Fulham players foot onto the ball bringing him down at the same time. It has to be a penalty and if it’s not a penalty then it is a goal kick. But Shockley Park give a corner.

They then give a soft penalty to Liverpool for a player turning away from the ball at a free kick and it striking his arm. They say there is no big team bias, however the bin dippers were gifted a point.

Notice Guita didn’t get in Garry’s team of the week either. Nor Schlupp. Bias everywhere...

I agree Fulham should have had a penalty, clearly kicked his foot first. However the ref was advised to look at the monitor, so presumably Shockley Park thought it should have been. The ref had the final decision, perhaps he didn’t like the prospect of having Henderson and Robertson in his ear for the rest of the game. Why handball didn’t go to VAR is baffling. Notice Klopp still complaining about amount of games, these people knew this when they took the job, just get on with it. He didn’t mention VAR this week mmm wonder why?

Sorry, I was watching in a pub and didn’t realise it was the ref who ended up making the decision. It was a real shocker and anyone who has ever played the game will have been involved in a tackle like that and knows why it looks clean but is actually a foul.

VAR another shocker; Leeds v Burnley - 27/12/20
