VAR

[TheBlueGibbon]

That one at Leicester was awful too.

 

[blue to the bone]

Is VAR deliberately not being discussed properly on MOTD because the Premier League advocate, Shearer, is on the panel?
Mina's goal wasn't even shown!

Was the whistle blown before mina headed the ball?

Yes.

But that's not how it's meant to be reffed.

He should wait for play to develop. Then call a foul if he thinks it was one. Then go to var to confirm goal should not stand.

Hideous decision. It was going in anyway.

I know. But var cant be blamed for that one.
All on the ref that one

Is this the case?

Reality is that since VAR is a company we're now in a society where debate on the bbc about its accuracy, bias (or corruption) would probably end up with the bbc being sued to smithereens. This is how free speech and debate is stifled in our brave new world.

Strikes me that VAR is being used to ensure the "right" teams get the result the script needs. It's an absolute pantomime.

Stonewall penalty on Deulofeu....

 

[Minimeister]

It's all about the VAR....

 

[ToffeeTim]

VAR is definitely a friend of Spurs

 

[ChesterBlue]

Awful decision that disallowed Burnley goal...

Agreed, admittedly I didn’t see the “heel clip” (if you can really call lightly brushing against a grown man’s foot a heel clip) but still it’s a crazy decision

 

[Minimeister]

Phil Neville in towing the party line shocker.

 

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

Haha that was a handball all day by Alli.

If VAR can't spot that there is no point in having it.

The media partners are briefed by PL and Birdseye or whatever they are called on their decisions, so I doubt we will get much from official media partners that contradicts their decisions.

The FA man, utter rat of a fella

Whatever lunacy is involved;
1.The RS will continue to get ridiculous last minute pens.
2. VAR will be contrived to support them.
3. The Kopite infested media will endorse it.
4.The EPL will be delighted as the foreign investment money pours in.
