On the basis Sheffield United played exactly how you'd expect a team with 10 men to play and the result was exactly what you'd expect when a team has a man sent off after 12 minutes, in my expert opinion the VAR decision had sod all effect on tonight's game.
Thought red was harsh given distance and angle.Thought pen was correct even though contact wasn’t 100%.He could have also gone for this.Result 100% happy

Sure, if you ignore the two VAR decisions then there were no VAR decisions. 🙄

Watkins was clearly pulled back and would have won the race to the ball. Targett was naive and poorly positioned but a bit unlucky that the sniper on the North Stand roof took the United players legs from under him. Barely touched him.

On a related point has a ref ever looked at a decision pointed out to him and still gone "nah, i was right first time"?

An injustice is annoying regardless of whether it's the onfield ref or the VAR who delivers it.

Watkins was being held as the image proves which is punishable by the awarding of a direct free-kick. There was no covering defender between them and the goalkeeper that could have prevented the goal scoring opportunity had Watkins had a free run so, the referee was correct in his decision to award the free-kick and dismiss the defender. Whether this incident took place forty yards or forty inches from the goal is completely irrelevant.
