Var debate 2019/20

I still think the jesus disallowed goal v spurs was a blatant piece of opportunism by the var ref to chalk off a winning goal 'cos it was city'.

The smirk on Potch's face after, the way he smiled as he said he loved it told you all you needed to know about the way we got shafted that day.

This season will be decided by very small and fine margins and so far we are having ours taken away whilst our rival isnt.

Of course it was. It was a prime example of what a lot of us said was the very obvious flaw in VAR.

One week that goal is chalked off, another week it will be allowed to stand. All VAR has done is add an extra layer of opportunity to manipulate results.

And there's a handful of teams this weekend who feel that they have been shafted with a red hot barge pole. I think the on-pitch ref is frightened to death to refer anything to VAR in case the press cast him as a 21st century Neville Chamberlain. The game is being sucked into a black hole as we bumble from one decision, or lack of one, to another! Every time you hear someone associated with arbitration of the game come out with an explanation of why something happened it's like listening to a bunch of politicos attempting to explain the morning after why their party was shafted in last nights election. Nobody believes a fuckin' word of it!
 
I'm looking forward to the reports on Dermot Gallagher this morning.

"It's a bad error" is about as much as h'll be able to say, but what help is that?
 
Yes, Tielemans.

A clear sending off, but not reviewed, and the ref didn't book him so can't have seen it properly. Exhibit B to go with the Newcastle handball Exhibit A.

The Villa one wasn't possible to review as the whistle had gone.
It did go to VAR,thats my point,how can they say there was nothing wrong with the tackle?
 
My idea for straight reds for diving in the box would've seen Kane sent off.
Something sad about seeing the England captain blatantly cheating.

I think it falls outside a bookable dive, as he did get a push (which he was also clearly anticipating).
He stepped late into the defender's path to engineer it. I think the ref got it right.

Correct, not simulation,as clearly an arm in the back, the arm was there because KANE moved towards him, trying to mug him into making a challenge, correct decision made. Should have got a penalty last week but maybe he is getting a rep.
