I beg to differ.
VAR is here to stay.

I have been speaking about this with a few people and the problem with VAR is the same as not using VAR people.

While people do make the decisions it will end the same because it comes down to how each person interprates the rules and what they are seeing.

Even last season you would see multi refs on different shows watching replays and coming out with this was a pen or it wasn't.

Offside used to be the players foot/leg, now it is the whole of the body from shoulder to shoulder. I too, watche BT Sports coverage of said match & was suprised bout the VAR decisions except the pen, keeper was well off his line & there were 2 WH players encroaching.

VAR is going to cause mayhem this season, BUT, its what everybody has been wanting, an old adage, be carefull what you ask for, springs to mind.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

It was disastrous during the Women's World Cup. I'm guessing there will be a few results that will be heavily skewed by it this season which will leave everyone infuriated by the end of the season. It should be used very sparingly.

Absolute VAR horror show in the man city game. No consistency, no logic and much less excitement with VAR. The sooner they scrap this nonsense the better. Instead of the referee making the (occasionally incorrect) decision with the benefit of context of the game, some inconsistent ‘officials’ are going to make the (occasionally incorrect) call from some room somewhere far away.. Where’s the benefit?

When you’re knocked on your back and your life’s a flop...

I think the goalie moving wasnt the reason.
Rice clearing the ball from encroaching was.
If fabianski had pushed it to safety ie behind then it would have stood.
Well that's what dipsy la la and po said on motd
