If we had VAR then

I'm just a bit too young to remember it (it was the season before I started getting taken to to the match) but one I've often heard about from other Blues who remember was away to AC Milan in the UEFA cup in 1975. Gary Jones was fouled yards inside the area and the referee gave us a free kick yards outside it? We lost 1-0 having drawn 0-0 at home.
 
When the ball was given over the by line in the Goodison derby when Cahill scored. He made his feelings very clear, it was just before half time.
 

Hansen handball on the line in the 84 Milk Cup final all though VAR wasn’t needed for it…it was daylight robbery
It was. But they'd have had 2 VAR reviews for those 2 offside goals, both looked thisclose. I reckon the 2nd one would have been given, so, a 1-1 draw would have been likely.
 
I know we all have memories of significant moments in our past but I ask what you think would have had a massive change in our season/history that you you think was a travesty of justice

Few examples
Hamilton FA Cup semi final against Liverpool 1977?
Bolton V Everton 1997-98 (cleared off the line)
Villa Real ....Ferguson disallowed goal
Rapid Vienna.....Gray goal from Mountfield head cross
Luton Semi......possible foul on Stevens for Luton Goal
The Man City handball the other season
I know there will be many more but blatant refereeing decisions against us or for us in the past that VAR may have conclusively sorted out or should have
Most people don't pick up on the fact that seconds before, Southall had been fouled by a Bolton player...

I think the incident is mostly irrelevant anyway, we'd have been 1-0 down with all the 2nd half to play, so we'd have pressed for an equaliser, rather than be content with a 'decent' point.
