VAR

VAR CAN F**K RIGHT OFF !

That's not down to VAR, uit's down to Oliver being a c**t and the rules being fucking stupid. A little flick on the ball before you go through someone shin high isn't a grey area where the ref needs to use his discretion, it's an obvious foul and everyone knows it. Pathetic decision to overrule it.

[Malandro]

A foul, he takes him out.

[aldridgeboy]

A ridiculous decision. Even if he gets a touch of the ball, he then takes him out. If he hadn't, our man would have still had control of the ball after such a light touch by the defender.

Ex-ref Peter Walton on BT just saying that shouldn't even have been referred back to the referee, penalty all day long.

To me it was a classic VAR decision. You could have driven over the guy with a tractor, and as long as he got the ball they don't care. It's fucking shit but then we all knew that.

[West Derby Villan]

VAR is shit

[Bad English]

And nobody knows the rules in rugby anyway.

Or cares.

I only go* for the VIP bar and restaurant.

VAR continues to be a sick joke.

He doesn’t disposes Trez, he doesn’t win the ball, it takes a slight flick off his shin.

The next touch of the ball would have been Trez, if he hadn’t been kicked.

Who would have thought our elite officials would get VAR so badly wrong.

[Rudy65]

I wish they would interview the refs after the game when there is some controversy. They can make decisions without any comeback. Pen all day long

[Brend'Watkins]

Had Oliver not given the pen VAR would have told him to look at that foul and with a look at the monitor he’d have given it. That’s how fucked up all this is.

[Rudy65]

Oliver made his decision v quickly after one view. On my stream they were saying he wasn’t viewing it from the best angle and I think they were right. Surely he has to look at it from different angles and multiple times to be sure?

[Meanwood Villa]

Just watched it for first time. Didn't look a pen to me.

[jcsutv]

When you compare the decision today with the decision with Konsa and Fernandes last year, it is bonkers.

[Ad@m]

Just watched it for first time. Didn't look a pen to me.

Same here. If that had been against us and a penalty had been given this place would be up in arms.
