I have not had a huge issue with most of the VAR so far. It has been pretty accurate - mostly the rules are just not right for VAR, like the offside for example and need updating to take into account VAR.
Other times I can see why they give something on VAR, even if I don't agree with it, you can see the argument. But today, well, it's just outside the box - how you can say anything else is mad.

Its only outside the box if that is the foul being judged. However if a ref/VAR thinks that isnt a foul but thinks the second one is, then its a penalty

But it was a foul (hence why it was given) and the only one that should’ve been reviewed.

The second contact in the box (or maybe still outside) was the Southampton players leg going into the back of March’s.

Absolutely ridiculous to give a penalty for a foul that was blatantly outside the box.

It’s as if they are looking for penalties, rather than the right decision.

There is no ****ing second one. There is a barge, then they fall over. That is it. And it is clearly outside.
Hopefully the referee team got a good price for their matchfixing.

Whoah there tiger. You can’t rule out good, old fashioned incompetence.

You can when they had time to watch the replays and take a considered decision about it. They watched it multiple times and from multiple angles, the only way you get it wrong is deliberately.

Is this a reference to a certain Peter Bankes being given the task of VAR referee for the game ?

 

[Saunders]

He played him there ONLY when Phillips was suspended.
You've watched him play both now- you think he is better in midfield?

HE ALSO STATED THAT IT WAS HIS BEST POSITION philips was older and more experienced FOR NOW
