       VAR again

       Have just watched the Brentford v Everton game and Jon Moss made
       a var decision for Darren England to review a dangerous kick in
       the box. After review a penalty was awarded. Accidental but
       dangerous ok. I can go along with that. Minutes later Rondon had
       his shirt deliberately almost removed by a defender on a corner
       kick situation. Outside the area this is a foul and a yellow
       card. Can someone tell me why the laws are not applied here and
       no VAR review. Dont anyone tell me that this occurs all the
       time. I know this.

       Mr. England should have spotted the penalty in real time and -
       having seen it on the screen - I am more perplexed as to why no
       card followed.  At best it was reckless and it is arguable that
       a kick in the face constitutes endangering the safety of an
       opponent.
       The second penalty (the one not given) may have been harder to
       spot on-field, but  was 100% a foul and unsporting behaviour and
       should have been sanctioned as such.
       Poor, on both counts.

       Ok,  difficult to see on- field, so shouldn't the VAR give the
       referee the option to review the incident. Maybe if these so
       called tussles were highlighted more often they could be
       eliminated or at least drastically reduced.

       Because between the PGMOL, the Media, FIFA, UEFA, AFIB, PL & FA
       and probably every other league in the universe & the officials
       themselves have created this "not enough" rule that is both
       unwritten but widely used in every game.
       To cast your mind back to I think the 2018 World Cup, where VARs
       true capabilities were demonstrated. Shirt pulling, holding etc
       etc in the box was given as penalties with VAR intervention and
       everyone was taken aback with how good VAR was. The game could
       actually be cleaned up and corner kicks equally contested. I
       note that, any foul/push/pull by an attacker is rightly given as
       a free kick. We then venture into a dangerous terrority where we
       are selective choosing to punish one team for a foul but are
       unwilling to punish the opposition team for committing the exact
       same foul, because it's in their penalty area.  ::)
       Players aren't stupid, they might play the fool, but if you
       start giving penalties for holding, pushing etc etc in the box
       then they will learn to stop holding, pushing committing fouls
       in their penalty area. I'm sure one of the useless governing
       bodies or something said about wanting to see more goals and
       that's why the offside rule was changing.
       1) We see more goals if more penalties are given.
       2) We also see more goals if the Laws of the game are correctly
       enforced.
