Dermot Gallager on ref watch (Sky) has said it was the correct decision - foul by Wesley. I watched it several times. Yeah, strictly there's a small amout of contact, but bloody hell if that's a foul we might as well all give up.
The technology is fine, the useless punter using it is the problem.Even worse than our decisions on saturday - Watford. Clear trip on Deulofeu in the area, reviewed but no penalty (VAR has yet to give a penalty when not given by the ref in the premier league). At the end Ali's goal comes off his arm, its reviewed and no goal per VAR but the ref overrules and gives it anyway.2 issues:1. the people using VAR are too afraid to overrule the on pitch ref (re the penalty).2. even for no subjective decisions the VAR reviewer isn't applying the rules. Man City had a goal ruled out earlier this season as the ball inadvertently brushed someones arma nd were told that if a goal is scored and the ball hits the hand it must be disallowed. This was contradicted on saturday.
Dermot gallagher says the Manu goal was ok because the ref decided no foul and it's not VARs job to look for fouls, then goes on to say ours was a foul on the keeper and correct?
