Which of course is why refs want VAR just as much as the faceless ones.

The only fair way to deal with this problem is not to abandon VAR but to abandon referees and lines persons. Have the whole game refereed from a box up on high with a very loud hooter to stop and start play and a very loud speaker system to notify decisions to the crowd with a repeat on the big screen. It won't be football, but there again ....... is the PL football anyway?



Well if you take things to its logical conclusion that is what you come up with. Nightmare scenario.

58 minutes to check a penalty at Everton and they still got the decision wrong

But you don't agree with VAR anyway, do you?

Why has Son been sent off there? It was Aurier with the offending challenge wasn’t it? Don’t want to rewind and see it again to confirm. 🤢

Baffling.
A clear yellow card offence but changed to a red card after the seriousness of the injury??
VAR should have dealt with that because that's its purpose.

It was Sons challenge that sent Gomes off balance, next to lloris's arm break that's 2 injuries that have made me feel physically sick...
Hope Gomes cons back from that, think it's pretty much such the same injury Seamus Coleman and Luke Shaw suffered...

I don't either. An unnecessary gimmick that causes more problems than it solves. I'm all for technological assistance but this is a technological handicap that cannot cope with the infinite number of variables in human reactions. Just because something is technologically possible does not automatically make it either good or desirable.

Horrible injury and it was awful to see kids and women crying in the stand but sending someone off balance is not a red card offence. Just seen it again is a yellow for me. The ref can’t make a ‘endangering an opponent’ decision based on the severity of the injury due to all the variables in condition of the pitch etc. If Aurier doesn’t come in after the Son challenge then Gomes falls on his bottom and Son gets a yellow.

Son clearly went after the player and had no intention of playing the ball IMO, that in itself is endangering an opponent.  Isnt it ?

Rubbish, booking at worst . He hardly touched him. I rewound it and it looks like a dislocated ankle that was put back in by the time he went off . Hope I’m right , Son can appeal and get it recinded
