| Liverpool v Man City on 18:39 - Feb 8 with 986 views | Southamptonfan | Man City score a third, and the ref gives them a free kick instead amd sends the Liverpool player off. What a ridiculous decision. Man City would have rather had the goal, and Liverpool would have rather not had the sending off. |  |

| Liverpool v Man City on 18:53 - Feb 8 with 923 views | Wints76 | I didn't want City to win as I don't want them to win the league. Just not keen on them these days. The ref probably had no choice but to disallowed the goal as if he plays advantage on the first foul on Haaland, he cant play advantage on the second foul by Haaland. Only way to allow it would be to get rid of VAR and go by what the ref says. Which would be much better |  | |  |

Since when have decisions been based on what the team wants ? It was the correct decision. The player sent off will be banned for the next games which will impact on other clubs chasing potential champions league spots. Had the goal been allowed to stand then the Liverpool player would have got away with a deliberate foul. Neville got it wrong. |  |

It might be the right decision by the letter of the law, but City had the advantage. If a foul is committed in any game, but it suits the attacking team to continue, the advantage is usually played and the player gets away with the foul because the attacking team would rather have a goal than a free kick. The attacking team don't care if he gets away with it, if they score. To give Man City a free kick as their reward, well they would rather have had the goal as their reward wouldnt they.

Ofcourse but had Haaland not been fouled in the first place and held back, it's a goal anyway as Haaland was through on goal, so Haaland's foul later on is irrelevant, as It was always going to be a goal. But I think we agree that had VAR not been there, common sense would have prevailed. [Post edited 8 Feb 19:34]

Oh yeh, we can agree on that. And I'd have wanted the goal to stand as it should/would have without VAR. Human error and emotion should play a part in the game. As it did for over 100 years |  | |  |
| Liverpool v Man City on 19:50 - Feb 8 with 792 views | Heisenberg | I’m not so sure. Imagine Saints playing in a cup final or play off and the same thing happened in the 10th minute. We could be 1 up and playing against 11 or 0-0 and the opposition down to 10 men. By the letter of the law it would be 10 men. You can’t have both I guess. |  |

Thats what happened to Arsenal in the 2006 Champs League Final. Barca scored but play was pulled back to send off Jens Lehmann (sp?). I guess another example would be if a player shoots and it beats the keeper but a defender dives and gets a hand to it but juat pushes it in to the goal, then you'd expect a goal to be given. But a sending off offence was committed |  | |  |

In that situation, i would rather have the goal than the penalty and sending off. You might miss the penalty and still not beat the 10 men. So the advantage is the goal in my opinion. No point having a penalty as your reward if you miss. No point playing against 10 men as your reward as that can be harder than playing against 11 men. You would surely always rather the goal. |  |
