He doesn't have to make a decision anymore. Var will do it for him.
In the same match Trossard trips a spurs player in the box and nothing is given. Not sure if var even looked at it
edit* i cant watch the vid but am presuming it shows the Trossard sneaky trip?
Corrupt in favour of Man Utd and Liverpool ?
You don’t think your general position of zealously defending VAR no matter how many times it collussally fucks up may be clouding your judgment when it comes to how VAR (and the “clear and obvious error” threshold, which was again in play with the incident @stonerblue has brought up) has impacted on-pitch officiating?80% of comments underneath say no pen. he did go down very late after accidental trip so not sure there was enough contact to warrant a penalty and not enough for VAR to overturn on field decision.
I made point earlier, pre VAR blatant pens were being missed so i don't buy the fact that Refs don't award them because they're protected by VAR.
The bookies

There aren't hundreds/thousand involved.fair enough. so hundreds/thousands of people all involved in manipulating results.
have you got any proof ?
But you don’t think the referees and assistant referees decision-making process—or the frequency at which they make calls, contentious or otherwise, on the pitch in general—has been impacted by the current iteration of VAR?I have criticised VAR for many things throughout this thread, i'm no lover of it - just prefer to have Refs with tech help than make decisions solely by themselves even when they do fuck up from time to time.
There aren't hundreds/thousand involved.
Just one or two people in a position of influence is enough to tip the scales in favour of unscrupulous/illegal bookmakers.
What I find funny is you seem to have dismissed any such corruption in a multi-billion dollar industry, when evidence tells us corruption to some degree is pretty much a given at that level.

'Accidental' trip ??80% of comments underneath say no pen. he did go down very late after accidental trip so not sure there was enough contact to warrant a penalty and not enough for VAR to overturn on field decision.
