Which moments from our history would you want to retrospectively check using VAR?

I was thinking the reverse, that Mike Dean reviews it and awards the penalty despite the goal being scored. Mario promptly balloons it into the canal. City lose the title, Sheikh Mansour sells the club the next day out of sheer embarrassment and Typical City return to mediocrity.

It's a hot day, but I've suddenly started shivering.
 
This thread just reminds me what an utter pair of w*nkers Walton and Clattenburg were. We seemed to have the sweaty lipped Walton any time we played Liverpool or Everton (especially away) around the Mancini era and he gave us f*ck all in any of those games. I seem to remember Arteta taking out Tevez when he was through on goal and the twat didn't even have the integrity to twitch.

One of the many Twattenburg's bent decisions was the handball against Sterling when it was clear on the replays he couldn't even see it and it hit Sterling's back in any f*cking case. Two of the most corrupt bastards I've ever had to witness.

And Stuart f*cking Atwell gets the bronze. The game at home against Wolves was a lesson in biased f*ckwittery.

Sky are doing a feature on VAR ahead of the new season, and have asked which moments from our history would you want to retrospectively check using VAR. Any suggestions?

A couple that sprung to mind for me were the ridiculous penalty that Alan Wiley gave at Old Trafford in the FA Cup game in '96, and also the handball Phil Dowd gave against Micah at Anfield in the League Cup semi in 2012.

Still on Spurs. The season that Leicester won it (thank God!). Over the two matches: at least two absurdly offside goals by them, and a penalty on Raheem that was the maddest I've seen in my match going life. Actually, VAR not needed. Just someone in black who was actually paying attention.

Edit: I have a doubt. Was that actually that season?

You’re being remarkably charitable to the referees in these cases if you think their fault was simply ‘ not paying attention’!
