VAR

Notts County.....likely at least one more penalty against us, penalty given for foul on Clifton not free kick that led to goal and Mani goal disallowed, red card for foul on Sousa....

Wrexham......penalty overruled, 2nd Mullin goal disallowed, Penalty given against Pearson, 2nd Waterfall goal disallowed, and God knows what else.....

would have been about 20 mins injury time with every goal being reviewed alone.

This worries me. VAR (which is bad enough as it is), with conference officials who aren't used to using it. The officials at our level are bad enough, I can imagine they'll be like a kid with a new toy using this at every opportunity and spoil the game.

What was wrong with Waterfall’s second goal? Just poor marking wasn’t it?

Agree though, VAR would’ve had an absolute field day with that match.

Smith blocked Tozer (I think it was Tozer) off to give Waterfall the free run. Highly amusing, Tozer to be fair didn't run after the ref crying he just collapsed to his knees as he knew he had been done by the very tactics they use when he chucks a throw in.

Hadn’t noticed that. Watched it back and you’re right, Smith has turned his back on the ball and heads straight towards Tozer. Not one you’d expect to see given very often, perhaps not even with VAR, but it was probably more of a foul than Wrexham’s first half disallowed goal.

Probably the ref evening things out since the penalty was very soft. I think it'd be called as a foul if Smith had blocked off the goalkeeper from claiming balls like Wrexham did to Crocombe several times, including the disallowed goal. It's technically obstruction but most won't give that since he didn't knock him flying or hold him, he just blocked Tozer's path so he couldn't follow the run of Waterfall.

To even things up, from what I saw both during the game and the highlights the ref could have blown for fouling by French on almost every Wrexham set piece, always on Crocombe's toes. We played them at their own game and did it very well.

Don’t forget Crocombes “challenge” that wiped out their player too!, though highly entertaining, with VAR it would’ve been a red card, pen, and Shaun Pearson in goal  

Quoted from Tinymariner

Apparently it is being used at our game!

Please not - I am not interested if a player has a big toe an inch offside following a wonder goal. VAR has gone too far for me.  Referees are human & make mistakes - ok.

Shame, I was hoping for a Hand of Cod winner.
