No way in a million years was that a clear & obvious hand ball in the city/spurs game & missed by the ref.
Yes it was handball when it was reviewed by VAR but in the spirit of the game there was absolutely need to review it

Every goal is reviewed to see if there is any reason not to give it.
I think spirit of the game has no place in modern football sadly.

The "spirit of the game" sounds like the kind of shit Tim Lovejoy would come out with.

Spirit doesn’t apply, it was an accidental handball that led to a goal. It’s the rules of the game, not VARs fault. It should be used behind the scenes for every penalty area incident IMO. It’s the  inconsistency that’s a concern as it wasn’t used (no on score board notification or pause)for Bournemouth’s justifiable shout.

I can't recall a Bournemouth penalty claim, except for the one that was given?

I think it was Trezeguet that clumsily bought down their striker, when he was facing away from goal. Typical forwards tackle and he went through the opponent to get to the ball. I believe it’s on the MOTD lowlights.

It was a penalty imo as Trez kicks his foot not the ball, no idea why it wasn't given unless they didn't review it or didn't see the one angle that showed it clearly, which kind of defeats of the whole point of it.

Trez literally tapped his foot and he fell over like he’d been shot. I was relieved it wasn’t given and would have been very harsh if it had.

VAR is just another abomination of the modern game - to go alongside Friday/Monday/Sunday fixtures, third kit releases, celebrity officials, immoral weekly wages, SKY TV, simulation/ diving, time wasting,semi finals at Wembley, biased punditry,
Etc
Yes I'm an old fart ............but at least I can recall the time when most games kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday, there was no "big six", ex players run boozers in their retirement, a replica kit could be bought from Harry Parkes at a reasonable cost, :)
I'll resist the jumpers for goalposts line ....
As some managers have already stated VAR is taking the spontaneity out of the game - I really don't like it

Was there? When I started watching football you knew the title was going to end up in Liverpool, just not which side of it.

Yes. Regularly mentioned from about the mid 80s onwards.

With all due respect, one of those you've listed only got included when the debate got stretched to a big 6.
