Not VAR it’s the knobs using it.

Yesterday was purgatory, when City scored the second, it was like the Spurs game when rhe Jesus game was disallowed. Every player thought it was a fair goal. Then VAR gets involved. Yesterday there's talk that Sterling could of unsighted the keeper. At what point, the ball has travelled 20 yds left to right or right to left. The keeper never moved til it's nigh on past him. We got the decision but it was diabolical waiting for the decision. It is killing the game. I suppose it's ok watching it on the box at home, you can see all the replays etc etc etc. At the game. It a tumbleweed moment. Your right, it's ( partially ) the knobs using it. Last few years we have done nowt but moan re refs, yet they are the ones who are viewing VAR. Heard a comment yesterday that the VAR used at the rugby World Cup showed the prem league how it should be done. Couldn't agree more.

Tash, I hate VAR but your goal was offside, Silva touched it and admitted so. You benefitted from a wrong decision.o_O
As for the Rugby, there was a debate they got a decision wrong, the difference is the fact they accept it.

Tashy you moan about who is on the var panel as being referees ,so who is more qualified to be on the var panel other than referees.

You can quite clearly see Silva show the ref where he touched the ball on his boot.
That was before the VAR decision.
So the ref asks var is Sterling offside when Silva deflects the ball “YES.”
“Ok it’s offside” 30 seconds max.

But Var decided Silva didn’t touch the ball ,even though he admitted he did.
That’s why KDB was credited with the goal.

Knobs.

Because every Ref should believe everything a player tells him!

Not really Silva was claiming the goal he didn’t know Sterling was offside!
But I would hope it was part of the decision making.
But he went totally with the VAR decision.

Normally it’s the total opposite “ I didn’t touch it/ him.
 
Got to feel sorry for the young lad - but always going to run the risk when you slide in like that and the foot goes high

- wasn’t that long ago those tackles were yellow cards
 
not seen it but on all accounts ref booked Zaha for a dive and VAR overruled it and gave a pen!
I've not seen it myself either as watching the NFL, just seeing the live text updates according to that VAR saying it was Chambers responsible, be interesting to see later
 
Well certainly is a good game - Spurs GK having a blinder at the moment with some great saves , got to get a goal back early in the second half , very sharp from Kane to react
 
What's going on with my lot?
Two away goals, and it's only half time ------------ good.
Another two missed penalties ------------------- not good.

We're going for a classic away performance, give away niggly fouls to break up play and hit long balls. I don't mind it if it works but it will be tough to keep that going for the full 90. Gazza has made some top saves as you say. Sissoko and Rose will have to make way with their yellow cards I think.
