Foul all day long but what a mess we have now
It's baffling that it wasn't at least sent down to the pitchside monitor. There's clear contact that the referee clearly hasn't seen and it's a subjective question of if it was "enough" for a foul.
That decision shouldn't be being taken by a different referee in a room miles away, it HAS to be a decision made by the same referee who's making every other decision in the match. That's how it's done everywhere else that uses VAR, that's how the laws say it should be done and it's madness that the FA are allowed to implement a different procedure to that laid out in the LOTG!
Isn't the prem version of VAR that no subjective decision about something the ref has seen is going to be "challenged".
The decisions here are consistent with that.
One one hand it's a foul on Origi and clear and obviously an error not to give the foul.
On the other hand, in this game, Taylor has "let them play" from the off. He has not penalised trifling fouls, even if the ball has been lost, from the first minute, so I think it's easy to argue that VAR has not interfered with his foul line.
As a Pool fan, I am gutted. And I think VAR is a steaming hot t**d, always have.
But I understand the decisions in this game.
I don't think a referee in a booth can fully implement another person's thought process. Which is exactly why the monitors are part of the process and exactly why they should have been used here.Isn't the prem version of VAR that no subjective decision about something the ref has seen is going to be "challenged".

Lucky as in they were second best most of the game!What has luck got to do with being on or offside......its black and white........
Isn't it?

Quite evidently, yes.Isn't the prem version of VAR that no subjective decision about something the ref has seen is going to be "challenged".
My view on why the Origi foul isn't given by VAR is that he is looking for it... He is falling before the contact to his calf. I am not saying it was not a foul as there is careless contact to the calf but had that not happened the result would have been the same, Origi rolling on the floor clutching the opposite leg to the one that was caught.
Agree with 50%. Yes it was a foul if the ref sees it.100% agree he made the most of the contact but at the end of the day it is 100%. Foul and it should have been disallowed

You can only chalk off a clear and obvious error. That is not clear and obvious. Even less so when the player is trying to make it appear worse than it is or are trying to win it contact or not.
We are very slowly heading towardscontact sport like basket ball as every small amount of contact is placed under a microscope at slow motion speed and of course everyone is then up in arms about a goal.
I was happy for that goal to stand. It was more annoying that Mane goal was ruled out despite being correct in law. I think that law has gone too far.
