This is the clearest incident yet of how pointless it is. If that’s not a red, god knows what is. Imagine you’re the VAR ref, seeing that, and saying to yourself ‘that looks ok, even though he’s just broken Callum Wilson’s leg, hmmmm, just a yellow’. Absolutely joke.

Don't think he even got a yellow for the tackle mate.
 


So Callum Wilson gets booked for "diving" in the Bournemouth game - virtually identical incident in the Arsenal Spurs game involving Harry Kane, no penalty given yet no booking! If VAR is checking these things surely to God there needs to be some consistency!
 
My issue with VAR is the fact it's trying to make every rule black or white when, it will never be this way. Handballs for example - it has to be looked at in the moment and realistically. Offsides when you have them analysing for the smallest pixel to try and disallow a goal. People have been moaning saying that the new handball rule is the problem and not VAR... well this rule has been brought in to accommodate VAR.

My biggest issue though is as a fan, the best moment is that second when the ball hits the back of the net. If that moment is taken away then what's the point. Now, you can celebrate and 2 minutes later it's disallowed and that moment is gone.

Goal-line technology works because it is fast and 100%. VAR is neither of these.

Before any moans about VAR, football is the only sport to become worse after introducing technology, every other sport has thrived.

Has it ever been introduced to a sport like football before though? I see it in cricket and NFL where it works well but they are the two slowest sports ever. Completely different introducing it to a sport where the level of entertainment relies on it being a free, flowing game.

And it was the same before VAR. Its not even on a ref by ref basis, all of them don't bring a yellow out for every dive, they just choose their moments. A measly pathetic yellow was never going to stop cheating though. It should all be retrospective and ban players for ten games at least if they want to do that, that will stop them.
