VAR

[johnjoeefc]

So, the ref gave the pen for Maguires pull, VAR intervened to prove Maguires pull was not sufficient, reverse on field decision.

Ref did not give the pen for the De Ligt pull; which was the actual penalty. VAR deems the ref not giving a penalty for De Ligt was not clear and obvious so not enough to challenge the ref not giving it. Hence why the VAR screens focus was only on Maguire angles.

Got it. Phew. Was worried we’d been cheated.

Is that what was officially said? Absolute lunacy

Shearer agreeing it’s odd the best angle wasn’t shown, so it might not get glossed over on MOTD. Not that it makes the slightest difference to the outcome.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

I guess the old lady needed one more big boo to send her on her way and since we no longer know the meaning of losing the officials had to find a way to make it happen.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Every sport I watch that has added VAR/instant replay, as a whole I’d say it ruins the flow and spirit of the game.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Doesn't work in football and never will. All its done is expose the gross incompetence and corruption of moden refs. Absolute trash.

Var has the ability to influence the outcome with angles and slowing down enough so that it looks the way they need to fit their narrative. So the bias continues towards the big teams so that nobody can challenge their position in the league.

VAR technology should make it so that the officials watching in the studio don't know which teams are playing. They should see white/black shirts only and no distinguishing features of players apart from numbers (like the automated offside technology). The referee should not be allowed to give any indication as to who the teams or players are to aid their decision. It's so corrupt and had ruined the sport. At least you'd get fewer bent decisions if the VAR wasn't able to dictate results of every game.

 

[StreetEndBlue]

So in recent seasons against United VAR has ruled out 2 late winners, a goal by DCL which would've got us a replay in an FA Cup tie and then a clear penalty today but of course it doesn't favour the 'big' teams does it?

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Corrupt to the core.

 

[Kever10]

We were never scoring that pen anyway. 2 consecutive injury time goals in our favour against our 2 closest rivals and the 2 biggest cheats in the league is fantasy stuff.

We go into the next game heads held high, feeling cheated and aggrieved instead of heads down feeling sorry for ourselves.

Oh, and for all those GOBSH*TES singing going down in the 1st half. You got what you deserved. It's like you've never watched Everton or Man Utd before.

Bournemouth just got VAR'D. Zabarnyi sent off after another overrule by VAR. Crap decision, his foot bounces off the ball, making it look worse.

The game would be much better without

 

[anton66]

Gob……. Bit strong mate.

 

[Cels]

I thought that was terrible by Ashley Young to try and cheat a penalty right at the end of the game. It was shameful behaviour to throw himself to the ground like he did, but at least VAR caught him out and justice was served.

Probably they don't want small Bournemouth taking the place of one of the big boys for the champions league.
