Rightly being called one of the worst, if not the worst VAR decision ever.
This is a just a terrible system ruining our game. Those of you that defend it may change your tune if one day a big call decides if Forest miss out on a trophy or indeed end up being relegated. I can accept an on field referee missing something marginal in real time. What is totally unacceptable is a bloke in a box 50 miles away making a subjective decision that ultimately decides who wins the league. Total farce taking away the whole meaning of a sporting competition.
VaR / the officials decide who wins trophies and get relegated. It’s that much of a difference.
It won’t make Burnley win the league, but as we saw with West Ham’s goal, it will decide whether Arsenal or Man City win it.
And as we also saw with the disallowed Leeds goal against Spurs when they decided to freeze offside at one frame rather than the other, it decides whether Spurs or West Ham go down.
It’s not just that officials need to make close calls, it was ever thus. It’s that something has happened to the decision making, there’s clear biases going on, and VaR was meant to fix that and it just isn’t.
