I have no doubt there will be an apology to Burnley tomorrow that the yellow should have been a red. Farce

It seems Havertz has the hoodoo over VAR on bad challenges.

Newcastle a couple of years ago.


Burnley today.





As I'm sure Mark Halsey would agree, he's 'not that sort of player'.

Can’t believe I got Peter Kay’d about Mark Halsey. What a ****** he was.

The frustration is that we all know that Forest or Burnley would never have got those dodgy decisions if they were the other way round.

That's why I just view VAR as another level of bias. Plenty of examples this season where you know the decision would be different if the teams swopped shirts.

There must be some way to make it so the VAR can't see who the players are on his replay.

Also think VAR should just make the decision if it needs to be overruled, like in Cricket.

Waste of time calling officials over to the screen.
