       Here we go again.... VAR rules the roost!!
       I’m not convinced that foul was inside the box for the foul by
       March but Big Brother overlooking says otherwise!
       Clear and obvious? Dear oh dear.

       Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think clear and obvious
       applies in this scenario. IMO it is a penalty, I don't think its
       clearly and obviously inside but my understanding was for
       inside/outside clear and obvious criteria do not apply?

       Great call by Coote giving the free-kick, then what does Peter
       Bankes on VAR do?!  Spends over 2 minutes, yes really that long,
       looking at over 15 replays only to make ultimately the wrong
       call!!!  The foul did not continue into the box and thus cannot
       be a penalty for that.  The actual contact was outside, and so
       where is the clear and obvious mistake?
       An absolute disgrace of a decision.  Nobody would have argued
       with the free-kick, nobody.  Instead Bankes has dug himself a
       big hole, and not for the first time this season either.  How
       can he view that so many times and think it was a clear error by
       Coote??  I just give up....

       Clear & Obvious doesnt apply to a factual decision.
       Now whether VAR could determine 100% it was inside is another
       matter, unless he had more views than we  got on TV.
       On what I have seen it shouldnt be given

       I suspect you are right DublinRef.  Inside or outside the box
       would be regarded as factual, like offside, not a subjective
       decision where clear and obvious would apply.
       Perhaps VAR's view was that even if the initial contact was
       outside, the foul continued inside.  It looked as if that might
       be the case.

       Clear and obvious doesn't apply to whether it is inside or
       outside.
       The problem here is what offence was it given for.  I think
       Coote gives it for the initial contact outside of the area, and
       in that case a free kick would have been correct.  But VAR
       appear to have given it for the subsequent clash of legs that
       happened inside the area, which means VAR wasn't looking at the
       decision the referee made.  On that basis there is an argument
       to say the referee should have gone to look at the screen,
       having been told that the secondary contact but not the primary
       contact was inside the area.

       But if that was the case then Coote should have been asked to
       look again as it no longer was a factual decision.
       Never in a million years was it a foul in the box
       Another incompetent display by VAR in my view.

       I wonder if we will hear from PGMOL on this....
       Pigs might fly.
       This is exactly why VAR is being castrated at the moment not
       helped with the total incompetence of the VAR officials. Bankes
       has just totally stitched up Coote here.

       I'm with you completely here.  The free kick looked right, it
       didn't look to be inside.  There was certainly no evidence that
       a penalty was the correct decision.  I can see why VAR would
       want to have a look, but even after seeing every angle there was
       no reason for Bankes to overturn the decision.  Perhaps Coote
       should have had a look at the monitor to see if he felt he was
       right or wrong.
       This just smacks of yet another example of the VAR operators
       interfering and making things worse.  The more they tinker at
       the edges, the worse it gets.  It's not VAR, it's those trying
       to use it.  The game's credibility takes yet another battering.
