Ref Watch

Thought Bernardo did just touch their lad that made his leg clip against his own standing leg.
Magliar clipped the Leeds player Tyler Roberts in the penalty box, and he went tumbling down.

No penalty awarded as the touch was deemed slight and accidental, and the BT pundits were positively applauding the new directive.

Fast forward one gameweek later and the ref is viewing selective footage from an angle that didn't show anything conclusive, and the Torres goal is chalked off.

We all know what's going on here.
 
Two games in and you can already see we are reffed differently. We slightly touch their player and it's an instant free kick. Our player gets taken out and it's play on. Gundy got booked for a slightly late challenge but their player took out Bernardo when we were on the break from their corner and no card is given.

You could see the frustration in our players every time we didn't get awarded the foul.
 
Clear and obvious error - ref saw it in real time and was fine playing on. Jon Moss on VAR and refers it back.

If he could not make his mind up then why ask the ref to re-check to something he clearly saw in real time.

Thankfully the goal chalked off did not affect the overall result.

Norwich pull a goal back at that point and it's a different game altogether.
 
I was at the game and thought that was a foul prior to the Torres non-goal. When I saw the replay I was dumbfounded it had been ruled out. Surely VAR only overturns clear and obvious errors and the referee who was yards from the incident saw nothing wrong. Yet the VAR planks ruled it out, we all know what is going on here.
