F*CK VAR

This is a great example of why VAR is worth having and it also shows how much better it is when the process is fully transparent.

I think FIFA have allowed this for one or two games per league this season to show the process but it's not allowed across the board.

The biggest problem for me, here, is that the ref was correct, in my opinion, and there wasn't enough clear and obvious to overturn the decision.

If the defender had been running alongside and just touched him, fair enough, but the defender had been done and it was a last gasp attempt to disrupt the attacker's movement.

However, if the ref hadn't given it I wouldn't have expected VAR to overturn it - similar, in a way to umpire's call in cricket - VAR isn't supposed to re-referee, which is what it's done there.

Lack of VAR in the championship have robbed Leeds here. Clear handball, and a clear penalty ignored by the ref. I mean I struggle for sympathy with it being Leeds, but still, the game has been decided by a lack of VAR.

VAR in the Premier League robbed Wolves. Clear foul. Clear penalty ignored by the ref. If VAR can't get the simple things correct then it just becomes an expensive waste of time. Which it currently is.

---edit---
I'd be happy with the black and white stuff being VARed if they could speed it up (or make the laws simpler for implementation). Offsides and mistaken identity (and add foul throws for good measure). The technology and implementation thereof isn't good enough or consistent enough for anything else yet.
 
It is just so difficult to make a decision in football - I think we all need to accept that.

Watching Plymouth vs Southampton - striker booked for diving - watching the replay the commentator convinced he dived - I think the he is clipped enough to knock him over.

I'll be honest - I genuinely don't know.

Watch it 10 times and take a guess. That's what happens.
 
What has the ref actually given? Violent conduct? Denying a goal scoring opportunity?

Is lightly brushing another player in the box with your hand a foul?

Players always have hands allover each other on set pieces / corners.

Does anyone know why VAR wasn’t in use when we played Malta at Wembley on Friday but it was last night?

Some of the decisions last night were farcical and I can’t see any other reason than corruption.

It was in use against Malta.

Remember, it disallowed Declan Rice's goal for Kane being offside.
