His point still stands though. I suspect that the Cancello challenge would have likely been a penalty in the PL but it wasn't given last night, when it easily could have been, especially if the were 'at it'.When Mahrez hit the post debruyne was cleaned out after he shot, penalty. Stones heading over, shirt pulling, penalty, we could go on all day about those incidents. I am on about a blatant headbut that even bt saw. We were told var was there to help the ref in just those sort of incidents.
Thought I'd put this in here as it's an ex ref and he touches the subject of VAR Slightly.
Jeff Winters is the ref, I found him really funny.
After the Stones incident I think the commentary team said that if the ref had have seen it he would have given a penalty. Maybe the ref didn’t see it but why didn’t VAR?When Mahrez hit the post debruyne was cleaned out after he shot, penalty.

Why indeed. Var is there to be used and abused.After the Stones incident I think the commentary team said that if the ref had have seen it he would have given a penalty. Maybe the ref didn’t see it but why didn’t VAR?
I’m not defending the VAR from last night, but it does look like they try and stay out of it whereas ours can’t wait to be part of the action. There must be a middle ground somewhere, you’d imagine.Why indeed. Var is there to be used and abused.
