Aston Villa vs Sheffield United Post-Match

Looks like it hits his lower shoulder anyway .

Motd saying a definite penalty for deliberate hand ball. For some reason the ref justified not giving a penalty by pointing to the top of his shoulder the fucking numpty.

Sadly it's an absolute lottery from game to game.
We've just got to hope we don't get many dreadful decisions.

Wish we, as fans, could get something going to get VAR binned. It’s a total waste of time and is ruining football. There are as many wrong decisions than right ones so, no different as to what it was prior to its introduction.

I don't see much difference to what it was like before.
In fact I think its much worse.

He went to get the ball out the net and the Sheffield United player just lay on top of it.

So who got the yellow card?

Not Ollie. The defender keeping the ball got booked.

I am not very familiar with anitomical descriptions, so where exactly is the so called lower shoulder?

Getting rid of VAR wouldn't have helped Villa here though as the on field decision was  no penalty.

The wrist?

It's the whole not being able to celebrate a goal properly that's the clincher for me. Var sucks the life out of it and that alone is enough to bin it in my view but they won't. They will just carry on ruining the game with it because the genie is out of the bottle now.

The yellow ball doesn’t help, if it was white it would have been clearer.

Still looks like an obvious one though

Our whole style of play is based on playing a high line and VAR has got numerous offside decisions right for us.

I wouldn't say bin it altogether but it has to be implemented better. Perhaps strip it back to offsides only would be an option.

The biggest change for me to improve it if it has stay would be to incorporate a timer on the review.
If you can't decide in say 10 seconds the original decision stands.

Perhaps not directly, but indirectly more so, since in my view the introduction of VAR and a referee's awareness of VAR as a fall back has contributed significantly to a drastic decline in the general standard of on-field refereeing, which the abolition of VAR would help reverse.

This is the answer for me too, also limit the number of times they can view the replay .
If its not clear & obvious after a couple of looks go with onfield decision.
Currently they are scrutinising  every goal so much so it looks like they are looking for a way to rule it out .

that could lead to even bigger errors as the idiots panic and make hasty decisions

Listening to that Spurs Liverpool transcript for the controversial decision in that game sounded like total panic anyway with no time constraints.
We're no better off with it and although it won't be scrapped it should be.
