Which isn’t remotely the fault of VAR which did its bloody job.
Without VAR, that’s not a penalty and would be being talked about at length in the agenda or bad refereeing thread.
Only a select number of City fans could use VAR doing its job as a reason denigrate VAR.
Right, so you agree with my original point which was “VAR did it’s job for us in the Chelsea game” then?I'm not denigrating VAR for that. I'm having a go at the referee for missing an obvious handball. In our game v Chelsea I didn't really see any great issue with VAR.
But we saw hundreds of missed penalties for handball and everything else pre-VAR, which is partly why VAR was brought in in the first place.The point being argued, I think, was that the availability of VAR means referees are less likely to give a decision if they know VAR will cover for them. So it's not a case of the penalty in question not being given without VAR, rather a case of the penalty being given on first sight without a safety net. The ref was looking right at it but, of course, we will never know unless we hear the comms.
How come it doesn’t work properly at Clanfield?But we saw hundreds of missed penalties for handball and everything else pre-VAR, which is partly why VAR was brought in in the first place.
VAR is very far from perfect but there are more correct decisions now than there previously were. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t demand that it continues to improve or that we get to hear what’s being said of course.
A simple answer is no. It is disgraceful that the Arsenal goal was covered up as it now seems clear the cameras were not up to scratch.The only two previous occasions I’ve heard any talk of these blind spots for VAR are that Italian game ( forget the teams ) and the Arsenal V Liverpool game where Arsenal potentially benefited from it.
I’ve heard vague talk about Old Trafford not been up to scratch camera wise.
But a genuine, unloaded question. Have there been any other specific incidents where the relevant governing body has admitted a decision was unable to be reviewed properly by VAR due to a blind spot?
But that is missing the point entirely. With Var the referee no longer has to make decisions and so cops out of making important ones.So it very much did its job and that’s what it’s there for.

There were rumours that VAR was not working at all in the first half at one end of the ground during our 2-0 defeat at Anfield. Salah looked offside, and we also denied a penalty.

I’ve not watched their game, was the Robertson stamp reviewed?
Nothing, No discussion, no mention in the studio of it being looked at? What was the commentary and studio reaction?What do you think ?

Also my assumption. Shame we can’t bring Andy Morrison back for a game.Sorry I really don't know the correct answer.
In view of the way that the dippers are treated by the media whores, plus my cynicism where they are involved, I was only presuming that as usual any such transgressions by their players are just ignored.
In view of the number of times that the dirty **** has pushed players into hoardings, sly fouls, etc without any comment from the pundits ( usually ex-dippers anyway ) I am guessing that nothing was said .
It really is this simple
how anything thinks this view is being a 'wum' i'll never know
some just prefer to live in constant anger and call everything a conspiracy
Why anger ?
Frustration at the application of the system I will accept, and I believe that there is no genuine desire from PiGMOL to see transparency in place , which creates the situation where suspicion becomes natural imo.
Of course, such things can always be dismissed as incompetence by some.
