This no TV thing for the Shrewsbury game is a farce.

Not on TV domestically and FA has blocked it from being shown internationally as well. Not only is that a hit to Shrewsbury's purse but also neutrals being able to watch it.

It limits the potential for Liverpool to be embarrassed in front of a wider audience.

Come on Oxford.

It’s on Bein Sport so somebody hasn’t listened 

[PhillippaT]

Aww, shame for Oxford - good strike, not good defending.

[lestajigs]

135 min of football and still not a goal in the game, two very boring teams 

[PhillippaT]

aww.. 2-0 Newcastle.  Oh well, how's the Birmingham vs Coventry game going?

I guess I'll just stick to the Oxford game for now, then...

[Innovindil]

[PhillippaT]

[StanSP]

Shrewsbury goal as well!

Liverpool getting help off VAR against Shrewsbury is a little sad... 

[Guest Manini]

Ahh so the offside was from the left back coming from an offside position. Just had a massive conspiracy job moan to my scouse housemate there because the lad who put it in was not offside

No idea if it was correct or not but ridiculous that some games have VAR and some don't.

They decided that very quickly for my liking, it did not look cut and dry at all and this game isn’t supposed to be on TV. Something fishy about that VAR call. I mean he might well be offside but they haven’t showed a freeze frame on the stream I’m watching for me to tell. 

Robert Green on 5 Live, who presumably has access to a monitor, saying he doesn't know why it's been ruled out either...

[goose2010]

Agreed should not be used if it can't be used in every round at every ground.

See my edit mate. They’ve just showed it again and it’s correct if it’s given for the one in the build up

It's just lack of consistency, why have VAR used at Anfield, but not at Oxford, Birmingham, Cardiff etc 

 

If it isn't used everywhere, it's not fair and is a stupid decision

Only used in prem grounds. So I'm guessing it's something to do with the set up / communication network. 

 

But yeah agreed just don't use it same with goaline technology, shouldn't use it in the FA cup. 

[trabuch]

Liv 1-0 . Boo

[Guest Manini]

They just cannot lose  it’s just funny now tbh 

[goose2010]

Massive own goal as well to help the conspiracy theorists
