VAR

It hit his hand which if it hadn't, what happened would not have happened the way it happened and even if it had happened it would have happened inna different manner.



But seriously, the bigger problem isn't the rule, its the lack of consistency. If they can pick one and stick with it and apply it in all games then that should bring some sanity back.

Yes totally agree. But then that is the same argument from back in the days when Alan Shearer would moan on motd about ref consistency etc. Some people are now acting like ref in the good all days applied the rules consistently all the time. They have just moved on to inconsistency with technology

A spurs player ( I think Skipp) was momentarily tugging on Laporte before the ball grazed the former arm.
Question is : which infringement do you call first?

Footballs fooked

As a neutral, the game was an absolute joy to watch. Man city dominating, Tottenham coming back into it.

The penalty.. any referee worth his salt should see that's a penalty. Then to have it looked at and conclude it's still not a penalty is farcical

As for the handball. Absolute joke. There will be no point celebrating goals in the future for fear of a var check in a prior phase of play.

89 minutes of the game was fantastic

1 minute of VAR ruined the whole spectacle

You’ll get a VAR call in your favour soon don’t worry, will probably be against us. It’s just a good job for your sakes that it was not brought in back when you had Pires and Henry diving all over the shop for penalties back in the day.

Hit his hand rules are rules. Ref applied it. Correct call. Move on. If there was no VAR people be moaning about the ref and getting offside calls wrong etc.

Agreed. Sounds like the poster is watching Spurs more than his own team. Oh and how original. A gooner slagging off VAR when it goes Spurs way.

had he ball grazed a spurs player in the same manner would it be enough to give a penalty, well obviously for the yeah sayers it is.

I thought City were exempt from var
Clearly not

Not sure why VAR gets blamed. Surely it’s the execution of it? It’s still in early stages but it’ll get better. Refs won’t get better. But it’s a positive move in the right direction. Too much money involved for it teams to lose out due to a silly human error.

VAR is total crap IMO bad decisions have always been part and parcel of the game until managers, players and fans started whining like little girls every time there was a wrong decision.

Should have left the damned game as it was and even tho VAR has benefited Spurs twice now at city I still dont want it.
