Mike riley admits VAR have made 4 mistakes. 1 being a penalty not awarded on david Silva vs Bournemouth. Another being the newcastle handball goal. Fair play for admitting the mistakes but how will it be rectified to stop it happening in future? Obviously the men currently doing the job arent qualified enough
Because the people who appointed him told him exactly what they wanted him to do.Are Riley and his cronies still sticking to their bogus interpretation of the perfectly sensible handball rules then? Just like Laporte, the Newcastle player did not have control of the ball before it deflected to another player so that goal should have stood anyway . How the hell does someone as stupid as Mike Riley end up in a position of influence in a multi-million pound sport?

Transparency, of course, we can see right through them lolSurely Pigmol are already ahead of the game with transparency and getting it right.
Sssshhhhh he's playing v united next gameSo can Riley tell us why Tielemans is not subject to a retrospective ban? I don't think they have played since so there is a chain they can follow.
Yeah and the rest lol,by their own rules the gabby goal should have stood,pens on dave and rodders,are they admitting the rodders one?Referee chiefs have told Premier League chairmen there have been four mistakes with VARs in the 40 matches so far this season.
Two penalties should have been awarded, for Manchester City and West Ham United, while a Newcastle United goal should have been ruled out for handball, the clubs were told at a meeting in London today.
Mike Riley, the managing director of the elite referees body, PGMOL Ltd, is also understood to have told chairmen that Leicester City’s midfielder Youri Tielemans should have received a red card for a challenge on Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson.
Only 4 mistakes? LOL, I can think of 3 mistakes just against City alone.

What gets me is that I have yet to see a ref in any game check the pitch side monitor (I stand corrected if so) yet VAR is all about getting the decisions correct. Riley mumbled on about speeding things up so sounds like it's OK to rush decisions when it suits.. Whilst we are all hanging 'round wondering what the fcuk is going on waiting for VAR to tell us the ref should get his arse over to the pitch side monitor and have a bit of input himself.. The whole thing is farcical ..Riley looks like what he is, a weasel. Only four mistakes?? Really??? Utter bollocks! Oh and how surprising, said no City fan ever, that half of them were detrimental to ourselves. It has already put Liverpool two points ahead of us. Even if you disregard the disallowed Jesus goal there was the Rodri penalty in the same game. Expect more to scupper us Blue's, this year really will be their year!

They've already cost us 2 points and add in that reviews not going to be used for penalties i.e. if Salah/Mane drops easy 2-3 times when they need that last minute winner. City denied stonewalls when we need it. One more Laporte/Jesus style decision and that's a 10-12 point swing. I fully expect that if Van Dyke or Robertson punch in a last minute winner or Mane/Firmino go in 2 footed on the keeper in the build up to a last minute winner they will refer to the Newcastle /Watford and say VAR ref missed it. Failing that they will have a Shalke style VAR failure and they will say the ref missed it and VAR broke down so go with the onfield decision. Before the season started I was hopeful VAR would highlight offsides and soft penalties and take 10-20 points of Liverpool's total. I fear it will add 6-8 points to there's and take 4-6 off ours.
The fact they’ve doubled down on the handball (by saying Newcastle’s should have been disallowed and Jesus was rightly - in their opinion - disallowed) means that we may as well stop quoting the actual law and bullet points.
The PL are using quite obviously their own interpretation.
