On the match review on daily mail it’s full of neutrals calling it out. They’ve made it too obvious. The problem for sky is they are describing VAR as if it’s an automated tech gadget but it’s basically what they’ve been doing for years, a replay checked to see if ref got it right. Now that they aren’t looking at it, looks blatantly corrupt.
how do they even it up from here, which is how they tell us happens.
Yes I think Its not just sky but the way we say 'VAR' ruled it out' etc makes it seem it is some infallible perfect being or machine when as you say it is just a bloke with a tv who gives his opinion (or perhaps follows a script) like millions of other blokes with a tv ot in a pub.
He should really be called the VAR to emphasise it is just another person's view not some firm of magic.
Having said that sky and others have always been selective either on highlighting contentious issues or even great play.
