and that's the half! VAR makes two important calls but after 45 minutes, Liverpool lead on a Sadio Mane strike. Your halftime score from a VAR rockin' Anfield: Liverpool 1, Wolverhampton 0.

(The Guardian) So shall we dissect those decisions?-- The Liverpool goal? I guess a positive use of VAR – an incorrect refereeing decision was corrected by the technology. The problem is the delay – which was far, far, far too long – and the fact that it was fortuitous that Taylor had not blown his whistle before the ball crossed the line. If he’d blown half a second earlier VAR wouldn’t have been able to fix the decision. So do referees now need to officiate on a three-second delay? -- The offside? Well, we can rehash all the arguments from yesterday and on multiple weekends throughout the season. For me, that’s not offside in any version of the game I want to watch. Rather than make the whole spectacle slicker and smarter, offside VAR has introduced a new level of stupidity to the game.

Here's the problem as I see it....as long as I can remember, offside calls have always been one of those subjective 'eye of the linesmen' kind of calls - most times, they get it right, once in a while they blow it. VAR was supposed to correct it by taking the human error element out of it but what has happened is that it has also taken the subtle subjectiveness out as well. Think of it in these terms: there's a legal philosophy known as "prosecutorial discretion" where prosecutors can decide whether to prosecute crimes a certain way depending on the circumstances of the event. VAR took that away, which cuts in both directions and, IMO, have made an absolute hash of the Laws of the Game, especially in regards to the offside rule. *looks around* Thoughts on VAR thus far this year, Ste_Macca?

(The Guardian) 48 min: “I’m not sure the offside lunacy can be fixed once you get into the world of freeze frames,” writes Tom Hopkins. “It seems like we’ve dived into VAR like we dive into all new technology - because the people touting it told us it was inevitable and without any consideration of unintended consequences. Might be an idea to stop doing that?” You mean they were so obsessed with whether they could that they didn’t stop to think whether they should? I do think if they’re going to stick with it we need some sort of rule change where the benefit goes to the attacker in situations where it’s so close to level that there’s clearly no real world advantage. But, once you start unpicking it …
