VAR

[Lob]

There was no evidence of a clear and obvious mistake by the referee. They could see the double shirt pull on the video and the referee was 3 feet away from it. You simply have to go with the on field decision because he was closest and called it right. The fact that they asked him to go to the monitor says everything you need to know. Cheating and corrupt. Cannot be anything else.

Today's non-pen reminded me of this:

 

[RomanReigns]

imagine if that was a decision that cost someone the premier league title or got a team relegated

yeah i know you still have to score the pen, but 8 times out of 10 you will score the pen

I think most are to be fair.

Complete and undeniable foul in the box today. Absolutely a pen. Bin VAR. Ref had it right using the best technology available - his eyes.

I see Danny Murphy passed no comment sitting on his fence ..... how is he a pundit a bog-standard player in his day ....

He's the same as Merse, both addicts for different reasons, Murphy was a serious cocaine addict and kept his job from being in recovery.

As bad as that decision was, I think the fact they took 3+ mins to give Betos opener was worse. What were they looking at?!? Was a good foot onside, then they looked if it got a touch, wtf it matter, that would have put him only 1/2 foot onside. That along with tarks and the game last week, and I include palaces equaliser, looked onside yet still took 4 mins to give. Var is a joke, as close to ruining the game you can get

Sums up how var was used so badly for the penalty decision

 

[Tommy Chong]

It’s currently more scripted than WWE mate, not the game I loved anymore.

We're almost there, mate...

The next step is to start encouraging players and managers into becoming more flamboyant and overexaggerated as characters in the league.
Injecting each season's narrative with more textbook, scripted protagonists and antagonists, FFS.

Watching a pre-game presser and have some tit like Dyche shouting into the camera: 'Now let me tell you something brothers, Dycheamania is running WILD! OH YEAH! Whatcha gonna do when I unleash 90 minutes of Dycheball, and let it run RIOT all over you?!?'

No joke! That's where we're heading!

 

[Fedlingen]

what pisses me off with this is, if I did my job as bad i'd be fired and people's health/life would be at risk. But these people aren't facing any consequences what-so-ever.

At least he is honest. A lot of these paid for shills on TV try and justify nonsense decisions like that.

United benefit from VAR a lot. We all know why.
