VAR

[Tipp blue]

The Panel, and the Premier League appear to be hiding behind the explanation that the ref said it was a foul by Maguire, and therefore that was the wrong decision so it was rightly overturned.

I am almost certain that on various goals that have been checked for offside, they first check the offside, and then you hear the commentators say something along the lines of "they are now checking to see if there was an earlier handball/separate offence". That is 2 separate things they are looking at. Does anyone else remember something similar to this?

So how can they come out with these blatant lies?

Where is Everton on this, there has been loads of times where VAR checks multiple incidents, This is from the PL website.

From what point does the VAR check incidents leading to a penalty or goal?​

The VAR will only check the attacking possession phase that led to the penalty or goal.
The starting point will be limited to the immediate phase. The VAR may not go back to when the attacking team gained possession.
The VAR will consider the ability of the opposing defence to reset, and the momentum of the attack.
It is supposed to check the attacking phase that led to the penalty that in our case would have been the 2 pulls on the Jersey and not just a trip by Slab head.

Just seen that. VAR was right after all

Prem panel: VAR right to scrap Everton pen vs Utd

The Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel has ruled that the VAR intervention to cancel Everton's stoppage-time penalty against Manchester United last month was correct.

The comments of the KMI Panel, seen by ESPN, noted that "the contact from the defenders doesn't match the exaggerated fall from the attacker."

If that's the case most penalties these days shouldn't be given

How do they measure the strength of the contact by the defender and how do they distinguish between a fall and an exaggerated fall?
Don`t know which is worse, the vagueness of the rules or the clowns enforcing the rules.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s against the rules of the game to pull a player’s shirt. Even if he doesn’t go down, he’s been impeded from reaching the ball.

Absolute nonsense statement to save their own blushes.

there was contact = he was 'entitled to go down, versus 'there was contact but not enough for a pen'

Sky 6 versus the 14 making up the numbers

Like complete mugs, we all thought VAR was to be about accuracy and fairness.
When infact, it's about the complete opposite.

The corrupt protecting the corrupt. All it does is divert away from the fact that Var should not have intervened in the first place as there was no clear and obvious error made by the referee who was just a few feet away from it. Maybe they should introduce a second Var team to check the main Var team. Football is being destroyed by sub standard and in some cases corrupt officiating.

Cannot even celebrate a goal until 5 minutes after it is scored now while they inspect every single blade of grass on 30 different cameras trying to find a reason to disallow it. The problem is the incompetency of officiating, not the system itself. A good system being misused by absolute ass wipes.

It can't be stated enough...VAR is corrupt. However, it is openly corrupt as opposed to the hidden corrupt we would get instead. At least now it is clear what is going on. It doesn't help us today, but we can hope that some day they will all be turned out.

They tried their best to find something to disallow the Beto goal, then disallowed the penalty claim. Weird how after the match most pundits, for what they are worth thought it was a penalty, but this panel didn't.
The game is bent and the cream of the crop have everything in their favour.
It's not just the PL though, it's UEFA as well.
The worst one I have seen is Man City at Goodison and I think it was Rodri with the handball. No one will ever convince me it a fair playing field.
