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

[Ric]

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.

Ideally we’d like a couple of moments, and they have to be things that VAR would actually look at this season. It could be an offside goal that changed the course of a game or a whole season – or it could be a sending off that you think cost you the game.

Liverpool league cup semi home leg in 81.

We were robbed, again.

 

[mayo31]

The handball goal v spurs this year in the CL. How about that one which supposedly was looked at using VAR

Robbed? Liverpool? i am shocked sir :-D

 

[Alex - Not City Matters]

Llorente's goals for Spurs in the CL...

Edit: Snap, @mayo31 got there first.

 

[Norbiton]

2017 Cup semi-final against Arsenal, Sterling's disallowed goal when the ball hadn't actually gone out of play.

 

[hcblue95]

The Chelsea game in peps first season we were robbed. Even though we ended up finishing a fair few points back we would have won the league that year if we'd rightfully won that game.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

A couple of penalties v rags in recent years. Aguero was one I forget which years.

I remeber Anelka getting a very soft handball decision against him when he scored at old trafford.

 

[bennyboy]

That penalty decision in the fa cup game at the swamp.

2017 Cup semi-final against Arsenal, Sterling's disallowed goal when the ball hadn't actually gone out of play.

This. Robbed by the assistant referee/linesman on that occasion.

Did the Russian linesman really see the ball cross the line,in the 1966 World Cup Final ?

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Spurs final goal in the Champs League QF last season, I'm sure it was a handball.

 

[wolfie1988]

The Sané goal in the Liverpool QF at the Etihad to put us 2 up at half time. We won't get a better opportunity to win the Champions League with the chance to rest our squad in the league because it is already well won

 

[MillionMilesAway]

That penalty decision in the fa cup game at the swamp.

Wilkie's moment?

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Handball at wolves last year.... 100pts two years running is taking the piss

 

[bladdered]

Kevin Horlock being sent off for 'agressive walking'.

 

[Jacob Smith]

The pen we should’ve had against United last season in the game where we’d have won the league the earliest anybody had ever won it and it was against them

 

[Ballet On Ice]

How about the first goal at Anfield in the CL quarter Salah clearly offside, quickly followed by our offside goal in the same game followed by the not given penalty on Sterling same game.

Follow that with our second goal given offside in the second leg at home. Lets see if sky will show that lot meaning we would have lost 2-1 or drawn 2-2 with the pen away, and possibly been 4-2 up at half time in the second leg.

 

[kaz7]

The offside goals that linesman kept giving to spurs
The 10 plus horror tackles from the centurians season,every one a red not given
CL v the dippers,we were robbed with wrong decisions
Sterling handball when he had his back to it
Micah handball that dodgy dowd gave
Mind you VAR hasn't helped us so far

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

December 2011: John Terry's foul on David Silva when City were winning 1-0, (in the days when we never missed penalties).
City go 2-0 up and we cruise the Premier League rather than losing all our momentum, and having to rely on the last second of the last game.

However, for the sake of balance, I don't think Paul Lake's last minute scrambled effort at Blackpool would have survived a VAR review

Similarly Rotherham might cite a certain Christian Negouai for his hand of God.
