VAR again at Villa

[bobh]

Not sure how Romeu survived the VAR check in the first half of United-Saints.

Looked like a certain red card, but he got away scot free.

Lenient, to say the least.
We thought it was at least a yellow, but VAR can't say that - it's either red or nothing.

They could've told the ref to check the pitch side monitor, that happened in the Arsenal v Leicester game last week. Surely the ref could issue a yellow then if he somehow thought it wasn't a red?

You talked earlier about VAR making correct decisions ('implementing the letter of the law') and that's giving consistency but the last week has been completely the opposite. The Arsenal lad was red carded but Romeu got nothing. Three ridiculous refereeing decisions were allowed to stand on Thursday but then a very marginal one was overturned at the Villa game on Sunday. It couldn't be more random.

Conspiracy theory for you:—-

With the title won and no interest in that end of the table, maybe SKY has told the refs to keep the interest going at the bottom.

If Palace’s goal would have counted and the result stayed the same, Villa would have been virtually down
