Brighton? After the pen the got?
I see we've wrote a letter to the premier league expressing our concerns over VAR along with Man city and Villa, about time the club grew a pair and complained

Premier League clubs side with referees and back VAR despite fans’ gripes
Premier League clubs have chosen to avoid drastic action over VAR, with only the smallest of tweaks expected before the season’s endwww.theguardian.com
Yeah and decisions like this against teams can cost them European football or relegation. Yeah where all human and will make mistakes but there are mistakes then gross incompetence.So...what do we get out of it? Nothing.
When a player breaks the rules like Niasse did, hes suspended for 2 games hurting the squad.
When the officials openly admit a mistake that costs us points, there's no repercussions.
Absolute joke and says everything about how VAR doesn't work
Hope England get knocked out by a hand ball like liverpool's goal, would love to see the faces of the fa.
Ball hits Mina's arm, when he has it on the ground, sliding to block a shot in the Anfield derby.They need to make blanket rules to make their lives easier.
With the TAA and Alli decisions they’ve set the bar for handball so high they might as well never give handball unless the player has literally stuck a hand out to save a shot. I for one fully expect a dubious one against us soon though.
They need a time limit too. You’ve got 30 seconds. Did the ref miss something clear and obvious? Well clearly not if you’re watching it in slow mo from 10 different angles for 3 minutes.
A massive rethink is needed about how VAR is implemented during games, with the onfield referee having the final say on any decisions. Are sideline VAR monitor checks by referees no longer a thing?
Apparently Riley has told refs to use it now, but until the complaints they were instructed not to even though every other major league use monitors as intended. It’s much more sensible for the ref to review their own decision with other angles, maybe have a quick chat for a second opinion but ultimately leave it up to them.
It's bad enough as it is, long stoppages approaching 5 minutes. How much longer is it going to be when first the man in his VAR office takes several minutes to decide whether he goes with the ref's call or not and then the ref takes a few more if called upon to make the final decision. And after all that we'd still get a decision that half the punters would say is incorrect!Cheers.
It just seems so obvious to us all that if there is a doubt concerning a decision, the man who is actually refereeing the match should be able to go and check it out for himself once it's been brought to his attention. Then he can simply say: "Right, I made a mistake" or "No. I'm happy with my initial call". I guess this what you get when you have people in charge that know the game, but don't understand the game.
