       should know that.

       As a neutral watching on the TV no problems at all with how the
       game was refereed and decisions therein but with nothing but the
       greatest of respect to yourself when did football become
       suddenly and exclusively around the PL and VAR ?
       That penalty kick, disallowed goal or RC given by VAR at PL
       ground is still the same at an EFL Stadium but both can result
       in different decisions.
       To maintain the integrity of the competition either all ties
       have a VAR facility or none at all.
       VAR in League competition is fine but to only have it operating
       in cup compettitions where there is a facility really isn't fair
       in my opinion.

       The day football sold its soul to the devil and became about
       money and not the game. The game has been so much poorer in many
       ways since then, imo.

       I didn't see the game so I'm not in a position to comment on how
       it was refereed or any of the decisions. I agree with your
       sentiments on VAR - it has to be all or nothing in the cup
       competitions to maintain equality and fairness. The purpose of
       my original comment was simply my surprise that David Moyes
       doesn't know (apparently) that the VAR facility is only
       available at PL grounds.
