For the handball. Nope, I don't recall that he did.

Oh, it definitely went to the VAR, but he didn't view the replay on the screen. Would it have changed his decision though, that's my issue.

It feels as if in most cases it's to back up the VAR referee's decision rather than the actual referee making an objective decision, if that makes sense.
 

Football has been corrupt for years, the thing that kept me watching the beautiful game was that at least until a couple of years ago politics was kept out of sports . That has also all changed in recent years and now football is used to push political agenda.
 

Another VAR shocker. Slow it down enough and pause it at the right place and almost any tackle can look worse than it is.

I don't see a reason for us to be constantly on the wrong end of these appalling decisions, we just are.

I'd 100% appeal that red.
 
If we appeal it wont get overturned as Allans both his feet are off the deck.
Yeah, I think the appeal would fail due to the technicalities.

The best we can hope for is to kick up another stink about the way it was handled - with particular focus on it not being a 'clear and obvious error'.

We need referees - on the pitch and in Stockley Park - to think twice when they are weighing up taking a decision against us. Because I think we've been too easy a touch for them over the years.
 
Genuinely, how many times has a referee went to a screen and kept their decision compared to the other? If the VAR think it's a decision, why not just say it?

I listen to a podcast each week with Keith Hackett that goes through the weekends referee decisions.

Up until a couple of weeks ago a PL referee has only stuck to his original decision once since its introduction.
That's a problem. Also, I don't think PL referees are allowed to request a review on their own. VAR has to suggest it. Weird.

('seen them given' is that pod if you want to give it a go)

The figures simply don't add up, which would suggest there is a bias to the system. Whether it's causation or correlation is still to be seen, I guess.

With regards to VAR having to suggest it, that's my point. 'You may want to review this' is another way of saying, we think you've got it wrong but play along.

They go over, look at the decision knowing the reasoning behind the suggestion and fall into line rather than making their own objective decision.

On other occasions, you have terrible decision (Tierney with Rodri handball) and not even a glance at it.
