Var debate 2019/20

[Joe Blue]

How in the FCUK is that a penalty ? VAR should have overturned that and pogba booked for simulation.Looks like different VAR rules for City, Pep will find another way to beat It/Them. I wounder how many goals will city have ruled out cos of VAR in the PL this season over 38 matches ? So far it's 2/2, I'm going for at least 17 .

If the Rodri one isn't a pen, neither is that. It's that simple.

That’s the crux of the matter right there. You’d rather see multiple wrong decisions that accept a mistake.

Rodri’s should have been a pen. The ref got that one wrong. That does not mean that Pogba should not have been given his penalty.

There is no way the ref and VAR could get the Rodri decision wrong. It's a penalty. The Pogba one could be seen either way. He is already on his way down but does get caught (slightly)

The Rodri decision was a joke and VAR must change to stop mistakes like that from happening again.

That has zero baring on the Pogba decision which was also a clear penalty IMO.

Spot on.

Rodri one wasn't a mistake in my opinion. Arms around his neck and dragged to the ground, you can't get that wrong.

The Pogba one isn't as clear as you're making it out to be

If you jump before your hit them it's not a penalty imo. I thought that was the point of var.
, to see which happens first.

Same for Rodri. If he was falling before a hand was around him then no penalty.

All people want is consistency so if I'm wrong fair enough - or if I'm right then grand - but for the love of God just apply the same rules in every match.

If the refs can't do it get judges or lawyers. It's not rocket science.

If THAT is a pen, then why didn't we get one against spurs for a worse tackle?

You can't hide behind ref error anymore.

No, they're hiding behind VAR teething troubles.

Var - only way to stop man city.
