Which is the worst VAR decision

Which is the worst/ most harshVAR decision this season so far.

Here are some examples

1. Burnley v Arsenal - Penalty not given for blatant handball.
Even Peter Walton said it was a penalty

2. West Brom v Brighton - Lewis Dunk has a goal disallowed, allowed then disallowed again in a VAR hokey kokey special

3. Patrick Bamford being given offside for pointing where he wanted the ball before scoring

4. Lamina of Fulham having a goal disallowed v Spurs for handball when it was kicked at him

Feel free to add more

Prickford allowed to end a career of VVD because he was offside so escaped the red.

Nah, he just ruined Klopp. VVD will be back, he even managed to get in the stands for the derby win celebrations.......

Sheff Utd ghost goal vs Villa last season. Villa should be in the championship right now.

Wasnt the kicking his head that was the reason for awarding the pen. It was TAA bringing his right leg up to hook/trip DCL.

Wasnt a major decision, we were banged on for the win

This I reckon as it's not even remotely subjective.

Agreed.
Should never have stood.

Yesterday's was awful but the lucas one against sheff U last season has yet to be topped
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That was a disgrace, we didn't even get the free kick!?

In all my years of following Spurs thats the one game where I could forgive the players for downing tools.

Its impossible not to wonder what the point is after a decision like that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yep

Crazy decision

I raised this one in debate with the OP yesterday

Depends what you mean by "worst". Many if the ones that are being suggested (like the Bamford one, and the Fulham one in the op) were actually very good VAR decisions because they enforced the laws of the game properly. Just because someone might dislike a particular rule, or think it should be changed, doesn't mean that it is wrong for referees to apply that rule.

Also, do we mean decisions where VAR contradicted the ref, or ones where they both made an error? These are all from a Liverpool perspective because they are the ones that I can recall - not suggesting we are the only team to get bad decisions.

Salah not getting a pen against Villa - https://mobile.twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/1312824942380154881?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1312824942380154881%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.planetfootball.com%2Fvideos%2Fwatch-liverpool-see-penalty-appeal-waved-away-with-score-still-at-1-0%2F

Mane not getting a penalty v Newcastle where the keeper grabbed his leg. Can't find a video.

The fulham goal was not denied because of VAR it was the aweful handball rule which was correctly applied.

CHO punching the ball last weekend for Chelsea against us. That's a penalty every day of the week and twice on a Sunday.

If that had been at other end and not been given the media would have had a field day.

Still can't understand how that's not given. His hands were up in a 100% unnatural position given where the ball was and came from.
