The four that counted might or might not have been reversed. First, Kompers notion that the Hoff forward was offside, Aguero's goal, the pen and Silva's goal. The guy was level, someone ended up on the floor at our first, the pen would have turned up another goal kick, and the guy who lost the ball for Silva's goal might have had a free kick for losing the ball! VAR will do us no favours in the CL
This is what worries me.
At almost every goalmouth situation, there are 4 or 5 which are technically a 'foul' but are not worth bothering about, as they are irrelevant to the play. What we saw last night, was a ref give several, first half, which weren't even technically fouls, against us. There is nothing v.a.r. could have done about that, he's made his decision.
So imagine similar happening, then in the 2nd half, a henchman mentions that he's 'seen something' Otamendi has done, in City's box. It turns out he's mildly grabbed a blokes arm. Ref watches it on video: penalty.
We then watch a replay of the game & notice it's happened five times against City players & some of the 'fouls' he gave against us, should have been the other way round. Doesn't matter. Game over.
There were people in the media, who even said Ashley Young's foul on Aguero last season wasn't a pen. So even that is not guaranteed to be given.
There are also plenty of 'handball' incidents with no consistent interpretation, as we saw in the World Cup.
V.A.R. would be fantastic for City, & terrible for Real Madrid, Barca, Bayern, Utd, Liverpool etc, IF the people operating it & the match referee & officials, could be trusted to implement it, fairly & honestly.
