VAR is only serving to further highlight the incompetence of PGMOL, the FA/Premier League need to hold them to a higher accountability, this is shocking
MotD scathing in criticism of VAR over the decisions at West Ham (failing to award a penalty after clear foul on Haller) and to deny Aston Villa an equaliser in injury time when Kevin Friend booked Grealish for diving after he had passed the ball to a teammate who scores. However replays show that Grealsih was fouled twice- a small shove puts him off balance and then he Cahill steps across him and the contact is enough to finish the job.
Both times the replays show that the original decision was an error........but this is just more proof that VAR appear to have been clearly instructed not to overrule.
How long can they hold out? And if Villa get relegated by a single point.......
Interestingly they are not banging on about the Premier League’s top scorers so far.
Maybe it’s because it is Sterling and Pukki (Norwich) both of whom have 5. Cannot help feeling that if it were Salad or Mane this would be being highlighted a bit more. How inconvenient.
All is not well in Paradise it seems looking at how Mane had a meltdown when he was substituted yesterday.
I trust the media will have a field day as they would surely if De Bruyne or Silva etc lost the plot like that pitchside, gibbing off, pointing at the bench, throwing stuff about.
I see Newcastle scored an equaliser following the ball coming off a Newcastle player's arm to set up the chance. VAR missed it.
Funnily enough, Graham Scott, who was at the VAR controls for our game against Spurs was the ref on the pitch for this one.
PGMOL are a laughing stock.
