Or Pukki’s one yesterday against spurs too

It’s going to get a lot worse when relegation & champions league places are at stake.

Make Souness spot on too.

It's an absolute farce.

Should be used for clear and obvious errors. The two this weekend look to have been decided on by stevie wonder.

They are good enough to show us these silly lines but we can’t see when the ball is kicked .

I’m not saying it’s being manipulated but they are not playing with a full deck .

It’s going to turn a lot of people away from the game , BT , Sky , Amazon & the clubs really can not afford the public losing interest.

You're getting confused. Kane did have one v Brighton on boxing Day that also should have stood.

There were several yesterday including Norwich having I've ruled out v spurs which equally should have stood.

It's ridiculous.

It's just embarrassing how they can get these calls so wrong. You can't score with your hand. You can't score with your armpit, so how can you be offside by either of these?

The Norwich one yesterday was hilarious in how bad the decision was

Wonder if that’s the reason Utd sold Lukaku ?

My sense is that VAR is acting to reduce the number of goals. This is because it works as a negative review, highlighting minor infringements by sides attacking or referee/official decisions in attacking situations, whilst not working to highlight similar infringements by sides defending.

Thus it is structurally biased toward the interests of defending sides.

Has anyone seen stats for the following?

1. How many goals given on the pitch have subsequently been disallowed by VAR this season?

2. How many goals not given have subsequently been allowed by VAR?

Celtic did today.

No VAR up here though. Just a st old school referee.
