da supremo： ‘Big club bias’.
da bet7： It always sounded like a bit of an excuse from fans of clubs that really weren’t good enough as a way of making them feel better about themselves, rather than the fact that other teams have better players, managers and thus never really stood a chance to win.
However, after this weekend, there might be something to it.
VAR has been controversial since it’s been introduced to the Premier League and not a week goes by without it getting a mention at some stage. There was perhaps no better example of that controversy than over this previous weekend.
First Sheffield United had a goal ruled out despite David McGoldrick being, what can only be described as ‘marginally’ offside, whilst Liverpool had a goal allowed to stand despite Trent Alexander-Arnold handling the ball in the box and Mo Salah scoring from a similar scenario to the Blades’.

Needless to say, those two incidents got a lot of Sheffield United fans talking about the pros and cons, or rather just the cons, of VAR when the latter happened.
Maybe there is a ‘big club bias’ after all.
