Ian Wright was saying that they have taken the word “ intent” out of the rule and so it should have been a pen given the rule change. He also went on to say that the rule change was stupid and that it’s ridiculous if pens are doing to be awarded for them incidents every week

Funny to think how many of VARs supporters before it's introduction had the strange idea that it would end the preferential decisions given in favour of the successful clubs. Funny also that we were seduced into believing that VAR would not look at making decisions where there was too much subjectivity likely.
It’s still open to interpretation and therefore bias , human error and corruption. I was disgusted with that decision on the weekend and cannot believe that the RS weren’t awarded a pen when Keane stood on the strikers foot . In seriousness I can’t see why it was given, I mean by the letter of the law it was , the problem I have is that so was Richarlisons. If richys wasn’t a pen then that means Mina’s goal was disallowed for what exactly ? We are all aware that keane’s “ challenge” happens probably 30 -40 times a season across all the games but the laws will not be applied equally or consistently and that is the problem. There is no line or consistent rule that you can adhere to, so when defending etx you don’t know what is going to be given or not.
I thought VAR was going to be used differently, to be honest. Didn't expect it to pretty much take the referee out of the decision-making process, so to speak.
Imagine if we had likes Clive Thomas monitoring VAR. He would've volunteered for every one of our matches lol

VAR is dead weird, modern football is content to continue to sanitise itself.

I have seen loads of poor displays by ref's but only ever seen one referee who has been biased in favour of one team and that was Clattenberg. Apart from the Carragher incident's he didn't send off The Ork for that shocking challenge on Neville and even shook Gerrard's hand that day when he was substituted.

Then mysteriously didn't referee us for years.....
Have never understood how any linesman is supposed to have 2 sets of eyes. For well over 100 years the game was completely flawed
by the offside rule.
How is any hunman with correctly formed eyes supposed to watch something `over their' and `something way over there' at the same time???
One for when the ball is `played' and the other set on whether a player has 2 opposition players behind him.
Was always completely ridiculous to expect any sort of accuracy.
I could possibly understand if you had to be cross eyes, or have 2 sets of eyes to qualify as a linesman.

VAR would be better suited to a “LIVE” supplement to the existing linesman, rather than a second guess after the fact.
It'll be boss if it's starts going our way (I want hold my breath like)
Gallagher said it was a penalty on a show that we don't get in Australia, but Peter Walton said that he wouldn't have given it on ESPN FC, a show that we do.
It was the sort of incident that you could put up a case for either decision, but in those 'iffy' ones I think the referee should ask himself ' was he in a real position
to score had there been no contact'. I'd have to go back and have another look at this one, but I don't think he was.
