MU v Spurs, seen it all now.
McTominay apparently fouled Son.
Farcical.
Edit:
Disallowed the goal, son scores other end!
He flicked his hand into Son’s face. It’s a foul.
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.

Really? Take today, the game was held up for quite a while, Man Utd celebrated, the question was raised about the ‘flick off’, VAR was looked at, then the ref went over to the pitchside monitor. Hardly improved the flow of the game.
I believe the referee's decision is still final.
As you say, it has to be clear and obvious for the decision to be overturned.
That's why I think the VAR person is gutless to not to have made the decision himself and bending the rule by putting it back in the referee's court so that he himself has change his original decision.
The referee was weak today and should have stuck by his original decision. He got it wrong IMHO.
Anybody who has played the game at any level, or even watched the game "live" or without the benefit of TV and slow motion, would have said that the goal should have stood for the simple reason that Son was trying to cheat and got caught by the man he was trying to foul. Serves him right!
Unfortunately at the top level these days, common sense gets overruled by idiots using modern technology.
Well the goal that was disallowed today certainly wasn't one of them.
VAR has the potential to be a good thing but the way it is being used is where I see the problem.
Between the referee and the faceless VAR man, they took forever to reach the wrong decision
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
Any decision that goes against Manchester United is ok by me
