Final positions WITHOUT VAR

You are assuming the referees and VAR know what they are doing and don`t have any agendas.

VAR have overturned decisions and got it wrong, and I have also seen them fail to overturn numerous other decisions that are clearly wrong.

Until you eliminate `benefit of doubt` and the `agree with my mate` culture from referees decision making, you will never get a consistent application of the rules.

It is also a matter of opinion, which changes from club to club. All we want is a fair and even application of the rules, but it is a shame the officials do not have the balls to implement it.

I'd question how they came to this conclusion. If they're saying that Dier's handball against Newcastle in the last minute at home shouldn't have been given as a penalty, they're wrong. The rules, at that particular time, were clear that a raised hand in the box, deliberate or not, will result in a penalty. They've since changed that law if it's accidental.

I hope they've applied the laws as it would have been at the time of the decision and not based those that exist today.

Not to throw a spanner in the works but I think we've also been the team with the highest record for hitting the woodwork this season. The bottom line is though that we dropped 22 points from winning positions this season. Assuming you even get half of them back by playing a certain way, we'd have comfortably sat in third place. Sickening.

So we benefited 10points from VAR by having incorrect decisions changed correctly - is that what your saying? That means we were initially screwed by the ref for those 10 points. Cheers

Proves beyond any doubt that there's a pro-Tottenham agenda in on-field refereeing. Thankfully for Leicester there's a method in place to correct this bias.

I cannot stand VAR and think it's brought nothing but negatives to the game.

However, it exists and at the moment we're stuck with it, so this is all kind of pointless. It's like creating a table based on 'what would the table look like without the offside rule' or 'if headed goals count double'.....it's meaningless.

I think the use of VAR has improved slightly as the season has gone on. The whole only overturning a clear and obvious mistake, like Vardy's first penalty on Sunday is the way to go.
The offsides still remain an issue for me. I thought when it was announced that they would be fairly black and white in that it is either offside, or not. With the technological imperfections, there is no way we should be measuring whether an elbow or a toe is offside.

Clear daylight's the way to go, give the advantage back to the attacker

Funny, I thought the reason Spurs finished below West Ham was them spunking away a three goal lead against the Hammers in eight minutes; I mean without that Spurs would finish above West Ham on GD.

Seems I was wrong, Spurs league position is actually down to a deep state conspiracy of Premier League officials and referees.

Apparently it goes back as far as 1966 and that was the reason Jimmy Greaves was dropped from the World Cup final, he was Spurs and the football authorities hate Spurs. Nothing to do with and and some bad shakes after all.

Is there a table for incorrect decisions made by refs which were then ignored by the VAR so that they didn't undermine the ref?
