That’s what gets me. There was a game I watched midweek, Liverpool maybe? Where there should’ve been a penalty but it wasn’t given because it wasn’t a “clear and obvious error” but the referee had got the wrong decision! It’s mind bogglingIt's embarrassing.
How's that a clear and obvious error?

Offside is a factual decision, nothing to do with being a clear and obvious error.It's embarrassing.

It depends what the ref describes to the VAR official.That’s what gets me. There was a game I watched midweek, Liverpool maybe? Where there should’ve been a penalty but it wasn’t given because it wasn’t a “clear and obvious error” but the referee had got the wrong decision! It’s mind boggling

Its offside so it was ruled out.Onside for me. Was it ruled off?
As an aside, how good do Leicester look under Rodgers? Really good game so far imo
Unusually for Rodgers he has actually put a good pairing together at CBThey're as good as any team outside the top 4.

Should be like cricket. If it’s that tight you should go with the onfield decision. Before VAR rules where give the advantage to the attacker, now they’re getting ruled out for a literal bawhair.
This will be carnage when the SPFL eventually bring it in up here.
No it isnt, clear and obvious error is part of it. Every goal is automatically checked for offside, ball out of play, a foul by the attacking team or handball.That's not what VAR was designed for.
It's meant to be used when the ref has made a clear and obvious error for a goal, penalty or sending off.

2 nil up and suddenly it is 1-1, must be hard to take as a supporter

It is now, but it wasn't designed for that.No it isnt, clear and obvious error is part of it. Every goal is automatically checked for offside, ball out of play, a foul by the attacking team or handball.
It should be used for the purpose it was designed for.Clear and obvious isn't in operation in the EPL.

Thats because in cricket you dont know where the ball is ending up, its just calculating where it 'should' end up. That VAR check is able to calculate where the 2 players are so it becomes a yes or no for the offside.Should be like cricket. If it’s that tight you should go with the onfield decision.

Again, it's not the purpose VAR was originally intended for.NB. The concept of 'clear and obvious' errors does not apply to offsides. A player is either onside or offside - you cannot be a little bit pregnant. So even if a player is offside by a matter of inches, the goal will be ruled out, which is exactly what happened with Manchester City's third-goal-that-never-was at West Ham.
VAR in the Premier League explained: How does it work, what decisions can be changed and why is it controversial?
The Video Assistant Referee system is here to stay, and after its debut weekend in the Premier League it is already causing controversy and dividing opinion.www.telegraph.co.uk

Because it makes on-field refs and assistants pointless.Why? Clear and obvious was only in operation in the WC. Look at @Valley Bluenose post
