Cucurella’s hair pull has to be the worst decision for me. It wasn’t even down to human error, it was a 110% corrupt decision.
They saw the offence, they knew it was an offence but decided not to give it because of personal reasons. They knew exactly what they were doing

[PhantomOverlordX]

I'm glad you've done this, because I really feel like people truly forget just how BAD VAR has been in sense of the decision making, long before the Liverpool game. Decisions that could've impacted the league so much, from title wins, top 4, relegations. I really dislike how many are discrediting the other incidents that aren't the Liverpool one. Something needs to happen, as more is bound to happen again.

For me, this is much more of a cultural issue within the PGMOL than a technical one. That's much more difficult to fix. The incompetence is so staggering it's almost impressive.

[Yosbdjs]

Still shocked how referees in the 1990s and 2000s were better than the VAR rooms today. Pierluigi Collina is a great example

[dwcavileer]

i feel this video especially important with the Arsenal - Man City game today in which Kovacic was somehow not sent off for 2 late challenges from behind and not getting the ball on either one

I'm glad you posted this video on Youtube because it goes to show how bad VAR is being run up to this point. One of the worst decisions for me is when I was watching the Sheffield United vs Tottenham game in June or July 2020 (I can't remember the exact date) and Lucas Moura was in possession of the ball blistering past the defence and falls over, accidentally handballing the ball in the process and Harry Kane strikes one past the keeper in the Sheffield United goal. VAR overturns that for the accidental handball by Lucas and to this day I am still baffled by that decision.

As a half German who mainly watches the Bundesliga, the premier league seems to have the biggest VAR troubles. In every league VAR can make mistakes and be controversial, but every week I hear of a VAR robbery in the prem and its absurd.

VAR is fine as it is. It is the referees that are the problem. They are human, so they can make mistakes. It is the magnitude of the mistakes and the increasing frequency of them that is the problem

[Fares_SH]

One of the most significant errors (impact wise) I've seen was in late April last season, in a Dortmund vs Bochum game that ended 1-1

Dortmund had a correct penalty not given to them
Of course the federation later apologised for that but it ended up costing them the league

[brothermouzon]

"VAR isn't the problem the people using it are." THANK YOU that's exactly how I feel about it. So many sports have a digital review process and do not fuck it in the ass the way I watch the PL do so EVERY opportunity it gets to do so. I genuinely don't understand how this happens as often as it does.

Me and my family discussed the Liverpool goal at length over tea. My sister reckons it needs to be replayed. But me and my brother in law argue that there are hundreds, possibly thousands of decisions have been given wrong due to human error over the years (take your pick, missed handballs, missed offsides etc - I'm still salty about Lampards ghost goal in 2010) and none of them got a replay. The only difference here is who the fault lies with.

I predicted early that there would be massive cockups causing things to not really change all that much and this game proved it.

[tdubstw]

I think VAR was working at its best prior to the 2018 World Cup, when priority was given to getting the right decisions and OFR were the norm. As soon as fifa and the prem got involved, the focus shifted to rushing every decision as much as possible to not impact “effective” game time and it coincides perfectly with VAR beginning to unravel

[minimangames]

The worst call by var is not overturning the offside call for Toti Gomes' goal against Liverpool because they didn't have the right camera Anfield, one of the biggest stadiums in the world

[TheeIdol]

Im a Liverpool fan, but the worst I've seen in my life was the one that got Bournemouth relegated vs Burnley. Goal was disallowed because of a handball on the other side of the pitch resulting in a penalty given

[nicholasamodeo]

First off fantastic video! So glad to see someone talking about this. As a Manchester United supporter I am the furthest thing from a Liverpool empathizer LOL, but I can absolutely agree they have had some shoddy calls their way like many other teams. This is supposed to be the “greatest” league in world football, why is the officiating so poor when it comes to VAR. You have a camera that can replay and analyze the game. Why are the professional officials letting this nonsense happen and have such poor officials on the VAR. Apologies won’t provide the goals back or cards being dished out. This needs to be changed immediately. Anyway, much love from the states really enjoy these video essay type vids.

There was a game in Brazil, where my team was drawing 4-4 away. There was a cross, and the other team's striker raised his hand up high, like he was going to, IDK, hit it like a volleyball. VAR officials said "natural movement" and didn't award the clear as day penalty. I've not watched another match since then, and I don't intend to anytime soon. The game ended on a draw, which could and should have been a win, and would take us closer to first place, where we are in a 4 way title race. Disgraceful...

Respect bro, i watch a few footy youtube channels, but i have max respect towards the balance you bring to the more contentious subject, such as VAR and Greenwood, and the considered way you explore the more sensitive aspects of it. Keep up the good work mate.

[SCP--]

can we appreciate how much effort Vizeh puts in to making our balls giggle

[EpicnessYeet]

when i think of biggest VAR mistakes, a couple come to mind but what immediately sticks out are the luis diaz goal against tottenham and the offside in brentford vs arsenal where they forgot to draw the lines

[keeganlubbe]

Crazy that a youtuber was able to show what Jurgen said in that press conference without the bullshit sensationalism that every singles pundit put out
