       Not only the officials, there were over 54000 others at the
       match who never saw it either. Perhaps everyone needs to go to
       Specsavers ---there are other opticians available  :D

       I would argue this is a strength of VAR - think back to the
       Martin Skrtel handball in the last minute of Liverpool V Man
       City in 2014. Nobody spotted it at the time or appealed. Gary
       Neville said in commentary what a great header it was. The
       replays then revealed he'd punched it away. If Liverpool hadn't
       dropped points after that then they would have gone on to win
       the title. Nowadays in the Premier League, VAR would be able to
       help the referee out and give them the opportunity to make a
       correct decision that they would have had no chance of making in
       real time. That's why it seems many of the referees want it!

       That being the case, why is it not being used throughout the
       English Football League ---are these games less important than
       the Premier League?

       No, but there is obviously less money available the lower down
       the football pyramid you go. It clearly isn't viable to have VAR
       at every single game of football played globally, just as it
       isn't viable to have goal-line technology or neutral assistants
       or whatever else you choose, but I think it is a good objective
       to introduce these aids as widely as possible. Quite possibly we
       will see VAR introduced into the Championship at least in due
       course - whether it will go further than that any time soon, who
       knows?

       Having given it due consideration, I have to agree with this
       conclusion.  Handball has always required some 'mens rea' to be
       an offence.  The simple fact that a ball hits the arm was never
       enough to penalise - anywhere on the pitch.  As I suggested
       previously, tinkering just makes things worse.
       If a ball accidentally hits the arm or hand (Ball to hand, ref!)
       then it  should be within the gift of the referee to interpret
       it as such.  After all, that's what he's there for.  VAR should
       be a tool to assist when he's not sure of a big call, not a man
       in a hut refereeing the game from 100 miles away!

       This is getting ridiculous.
       Just what does it have to take for a decision to be overturned
       (other than offsides)
       Get rid of it, it is a shambles.

       Currently VAR seems to be upholding incorrect decisions rather
       than correcting them as it should do.
       The answer is surely is to improve the quality of VAR officials
       so that the decisions are corrected rather than abandoning any
       attempt to change.

       VAR can't just recommend a free-kick or a yellow card - VAR has
       to deem it a clear red card to get involved (I haven't seen the
       incident yet but it sounds like there might have been a strong
       argument for a red.)

       As was the case with the ridiculous free kick awarded against
       Bernardo the video clip was quickly withdrawn at the request of
       the copyright holder.  In the case of Bernardo a clip showing
       the 10 seconds or so where he bamboozled three Spurs defenders
       just before he was clattered by Rose did not need to be removed.

       I saw the clip before it was removed and it looked a RC offence
       to me.  Phil Thompson was apoplectic on Sky's Saturday football.
       Subjective decisions being left with the referee is all very
       well, but subjective key match decisions can be blatantly wrong
       in the eyes of the vast majority of pundits, fans and
       ex-referees as has been demonstrated in several matches over the
       past couple of weeks.
       An interesting reply on Hackett's twitter blog alleged that Kane
       had said that Mike Dean told him he had not seen the incident
       clearly last week and therefore could not give a penalty.
       Firstly, was that comment by Kane reported in the press do we
       know?
       IF it is true that Mike Dean explained to Kane he had a poor
       view, isn't that where VAR should intervene and Dean ask for
       help?  How can it be a proper subjective decision if the referee
       didn't see an incident clearly?
