VAR official and referee WTF

[MacAdder]

MU v Spurs, seen it all now.
McTominay apparently fouled Son.
Farcical.

Edit:
Disallowed the goal, son scores other end!

I thought it was a fair decision by VAR.

Absolute filth of a decision and now Son puts them 1-0 up.

Rubbish.
If Son had not tried to grab McTominay in the fist place (I.e. fouled him), McTominay would not have needed to fend him off.

He flicked his hand into Son’s face. It’s a foul.

So McTominay fended him off then?

Accidently, always looks worst slowed down

And yet earlier in the day a Newcastle player got kicked in the face in the penalty area and VAR deemed that wasn’t a foul.

Both decisions were ridiculous. VAR has quickly become a genuine embarrassment for the Premier League.

It’s what I always thought would happen, these decisions were never black and white and reviewing in them in slow motion only makes it worse.

It was never a foul in my opinion, it all just seems so inconsistent.

The whole thing seems so pointless. The vast majority of the decisions are being reached merely on opinions and the offside rulings are farcical. It’s not making the game better in any respect, so why persist with it?

In most cases, VAR basically boils down to referees in studios either overruling the referees on the pitches or heavily influencing them based on nothing but their own opinions. It’s ridiculous. We were far better off when the opinions of the officials at the game were the only ones that mattered.

Agreed. Waste of time and money. Either the referee is in charge, or he isn't.

I think it should be scrapped on the basis that we tried it and it hasn’t worked to better the game.

Re: VAR official and referee WTF

Terrible decision. Son should have got an Oscar for acting. The fact that the ref watched it replayed a few times, and still thought it was a foul says all you need ti now about VAR.
Complete joke.
Then again, there is even a difference of opinion amongst the few posters on this thread.
It obviously comes down to interpretation
