In theory VAR could be a great addition to the game, but theory and reality are two different things. It was brought in too early, with not enough training, no clarity, no real plan, half of it made up on the fly etc. Should have been properly prepared and planned for, but it wasn't and now it's a mess; littered with errors, bias (be it subconscious or conscious), unclear rules of application, subjectivity from one week to the next and a group of referees who essentially dont want to put their colleagues in a tricky position. A [titus] shambles of a situation if i do say so myself.......
Y’know what - I cheer anyway, but in the knowledge I may be disappointed.
Either way though, it’s not on and not what we all signed up for.

The best thing the PL could do tomorrow is get rid of VAR. Football is loved around the world and there was no review for over a hundred years. There are rules being broken all game long that are missed. People flop. They were tripped and the call was missed. But when it comes to penalties inside the box and offsides, it should remain with the ref on field. For offsides it’s about the spirit of the rule and keeping someone in front of you. Using GPS is not what it should be. If a guy with a flag sees it, go with that call.

Proper snide that VAR didn’t show that angle of the penalty - dreadful decision to overturn it!
I’d love to know how many instances this season where the on-field referee has awarded a penalty, and
A) VAR has sent him to the monitor, and
B) the referee has changed his decision

Disgraceful that today
How can any official look at an obvious shirt pull and tell another official they believe there has been a clear and obvious error
It's an absolutely laughable decision. I've seen games where the VAR has got involved to recommend a penalty for that sort of incident.
I feel like the bar for perceived smaller clubs to get a penalty is so much higher than the bigger clubs. VAR is just increasing the perception of big club bias. If that decision was in favour of a City, Arsenal, Liverpool, United etc, no one even thinks twice about it.

Ref needs to see all angles (VAR can’t be allowed to filter views) then a 30 second timer to change the decision.
VAR is subtle manipulation of football.
The problem its being played out in front of you.
People just want a level playing field

This is the whole point of the corruption that’s going on with it. They had the angle which clearly shows the pen but didn’t show it to the ref and told him it wasn’t a foul?
Was done on purpose. The club has so far remain silent on this. I do not understand why. This is basically cheating. Var could have shown the entire play from all of the angles. Decide to just focus on young slowing it down as much as possible so it looks like a dive. Crazy...and worst thing the pgmol has the audacity to say that there was no fault...madness.
