Actually it couldn't be more of a farce than it is now, and if VAR was dropped now it might make Livarpool a bit nervous.

According to the "no VAR table" Liverpool are still first and a handful of points above us

- Mahrez was flagged for offside by the linesman
- Before the ref blew the whistle Mahrez went down in the penalty box
- VAR reviewed it and showed Mahrez wasn’t offside
- VAR then reviewed if we should have had a penalty but decided no penalty
- The ref restarted play with a free kick for offside even though VAR showed it actually wasn’t offside

Perhaps I misread the situation but that’s what appeared to happen to me. But how can the ref proceed with the free kick for offside even when it was shown to be incorrect?

Definite RED there.

It was given as handball against Mahrez.

Despite the fact it wasn’t handball. I honestly think the VAR shat himself and couldn’t bring himself to award a penalty and giving a handball was his get out of jail card

The ref signalled for offside after the VAR check. The easy out was to call the handball which it may well have been, he was onside and it wasn't a penalty so it would have had no controversy if he had given a foul for handball and moved on. The process must have taken at least two minutes though and that was all the time added on at the end of the first half. They are just making it up as they go along.

Fucking daft - mirror running a story about premier league being stripped of VAR if they don’t sort it out soon - fucking fingers crossec, it’s absolutely killing the game

Don't get me wrong, they deserve to be ahead, but it just shows how the league has been massively influenced by this shit. 3/6 points and the league is still a competition...

I suspect they'll make minor changes for next year, with the obvious one some kind of margin for error on offsides.
