Is that right he gave the pen? What a fucking joke! Is it sane one who missed the ball going out by 2m?

As said last night, how the fuck is VAr not telling the ref to go and check it especially if the linesman has given it

Also, we are still far too nice around ref’s, the players should be right on top of Kavanagh demanding he look at it

In short, still fuming, we were shite though and need to pull the finger out getting players in before window closes, the gaps are there for all to see

Linesman gave it and VAR confirmed. The ref is in charge but didn’t see it at any point. Utterly atrocious organisation PGMOL, make it up as they go along, the lino and var as supposed to be supplementary to the ref, helping him make decisions, he hasn’t made the decision.

Was trying to explain to my bird why VAR has ruined the game the other day.
It is hard to explain.
They just make it up as they go along and there is no consistency whether refs review or whatever and people see what they want to see to make for "better telly" and when it comes to the RS they make decisions to avoid a backlash and death threats and for other clubs like City decisions are made "to make the race for the title more exciting".
Rugby and cricket have nailed their equivalent of VAR so it can be done properly. Football has chosen not to. Also, every VAR "controversy" helps sell the brand to the saddos abroad and in Devon who live their lives through teams from places they have never visited.

All these new rules and directives, and to be honest VAR in general, is just a way to screw the smaller teams and award the likes of United and Liverpool the decisions.

Liverpool players will wave dozens of imaginary cards at refs this season. None will see a card for it.

What are the chances of that penalty being given against VVD at Anfield? Zero.

See also the 'Captains Only' rule, there is no way that the RS and Utd players won't surround the ref at some point this season and no way any of them will get booked for it.

We’d just end up with a load of bookings

Alcaraz getting a booking for waving an imaginary card, and the lad who fouled him getting off clean

That will never happen to another player in the league this season.

Of all the things in the game they need to weed out, they focus on that.
As if 000s of players every week don't ask/tell the ref that a booking is warranted, WTF is the difference to a hand signal
