If he had not scored and gone down instead VAR would have given a pen for the push by TAA.
You just don’t know what your going to get with VAR.
The opposite of what it was brought in for , consistent decisions.

Getting to the point where it seems the refs have a decent side bet on who can give the most ridiculous VAR decision. Surely Dean wins in the end mind.....

Moss in the Everton Arsenal game.
Offside bailed him out.
Should have a bad decision of the month and year.
But who decides to settle the bet.???

Starting to sound like we don’t want VAR.and who decides that, yup you guessed it
I was all for it I must admit.
But think Stockley Park is in a monkey enclosure somewhere.
I have now changed my mind ,I don’t think the refs we have are good enough to handle it.

VAR as a concept is fine for the tv watching fan if it is properly administrated, im not sure it will ever be acceptable to a game going fan. As a bare minimum it needs a complete overhaul (and needs to take into account the game going fan more), it would definitely be far easier just to get rid though (sadly not gonna happen)

Always said, the more officials involved the worse the outcome. If three men can’t run a game of football somethings wrong with the game.

Get the feeling there will be far more prem clubs trying to shop at West Brom in the summer than there will be Sheff Utd or Fulham

If VAR was sorted and worked, I don’t think the category of fan would matter, unfortunately I think it’s here to stay and will be tinkered with for years to come.

The worst of it will be having to admit to Stu_C that he was right...

Luckily he will never know, as he isn't on here anymore.
A number of our referees aren’t good enough, absolutely agree.
I missed the debate here yesterday regarding the ludicrous sending off at West Ham. But it comes as no surprise that the referee involved was Chris Kavanagh, the same referee who disallowed United’s goal at Spurs a couple of weeks ago after McTominay had brushed Son’s face with his hand.
The alarming aspect of both decisions is that they were made even with the benefit of multiple replays pitchside. The pundits were in universal agreement on both occasions in that Kavanagh had made embarrassing blunders.
It won’t stop him officiating next weekend though.

Thay should be made to have press conferences .
It’s ultimately the fans that pay their wages.
One in the Burnley Wolves game ,straight arm open palm right in his throat .
VAR looked = yellow he should have been off
No consistent decisions.

I'd mic them up
Like rugby
And let them explain their decisions
So take the west ham game could hear the Convo in his ear then he goes over to the captain and examples right it's red because of X y and z
Least we then might understand what's going through their heads!

However much we want it, you will never ever get consistent decisions in sports that involve the subjective opinion of an official. Its like asking all fans to agree on all decisions! Just won't happen ?
Some degree of miking-up could work, a brief explanation of decisions, NFL style. Post match ref interviews on occasions may add value, but you can see that this post match ref interview would soon become repetitive and continually negative.
I'm sure there is room on Sky and BT football coverage to run a series of ref decisions workshops to show what the rules and ref interpretations should be. It could help some pundits and fans understand the rules better. ?

No reason why the referees can’t be mic’ed up. They already have the earpieces so simple enough to add it on.
