Time for football to have a serious look at itself

VAR just a joke, no rhyme or reason to the decisions that are being made after interminable delays
Players are diving and cheating more than ever with little punishment
 
Three whole minutes they watched that for. Do they not know that time is a factor?? You could see from replay number 1 that it hits his arm, all you do then is decide whether it's hand ball under the current rules or not. You don't need to watch it another 15 times.
 
It was not a red but had Son been booked before? I think he had and the challenge perhaps was worthy of a yellow. The red was therefore correct but the suspension may alter if they rescind the straight red.
 
Horrible injury that, but I'm baffled why he sent Son off
Yellow card challenge that. The ref has bottled it and reacted to the injury and the players' reactions. I don't know why they didn't VAR it, they've done about an hour's worth of VAR on everything else.

Sad for Gomes, his ankle is absolutely ruined. Pictures on Twitter for those who aren't squeamish. Spoiler alert - his foot was pointing the wrong way. Horrible.

no hadnt been booked, ref pulled the yellow card out, saw Gomes leg and changed it for red and VAR doesnt even bother to review it

No, he arguably should have had a yellow for his dive but I don't think he had been booked, he's been given a straight red for that. I suspect we will appeal.
