VAR can't do anything when the rules are so screwed. (alien.top)

Not PL related directly, but the rules about handballs are really weird in CL. How do they give THAT as a penalty against Livramento. It came off his f***ing chest for God's sake. Feel really sorry for him. I just feel it's going to get even worse for defending teams once Wenger's new offside law comes into the picture.

Honestly at this point, you might as well aim for an arm rather than the goal

It really looks like dembele does

Yeah it seems like that’s what psg were trying for

I am convinced that was Sadio Mane’s intention the UCL final against Tottenham 😂

This came immediately to mind

At least that makes sense when the defender leaves their arm in such an exposed and forced position.

I would say that’s exactly what Dembele did, but it’s just as likely his atrocious crossing ability is at fault

TRUE and it's little wonder that players race after the ref after every ACCIDENTAL handball. Next it'll be sin bins to prevent players exploiting refs and VAR's inability to distinguish ACCIDENTAL from intentional handball, Level from Offside, and protecting the ball from deliberate attempts to hurt players. Have any of them ever actually PLAYED football ? VAR and officiating in general is a complete disaster now which is killing football.
