On the left, ruled no hand ball - On the right, ruled hand ball. What is going on?


By the way, the one on the right occurred when the ball was kicked straight at the player from 2 yards away. I mean, where is he supposed to put his hand?

The Fulham manager is a lot calmer than a lot of people would be given that his team was royally screwed by VAR...

So obviously the first non-call is bullshit (but fuck Liverpool anyway).

The thing with the second is the rule, not the review. The rules need to be updated to conform with the modern technology that keeps the game honest.

I find a lot of issues with a lot of VAR calls but people seem to forget there were like 4 fucked up offsides/red cards/penalties/etc. problems every game before VAR. The "Raw emotion of the game" Parker refers to was people fucking pissed off all the time with how the game was being ref'd.
