...which key moments in matches involving the Albion would most likely have been affected?
I am no fan of VAR and think, like Japanese Knotweed, it will gradually undermine the foundations of the game and be impossible to get rid of once it has taken hold. I'm not looking forward to goals being ruled out because a toenail is in an 'offside' position for a nano-second, but we are where we are. So had VAR been in place this season, which key moments in matches involving the Albion would most likely have been affected?
Three incidents that immediately spring to mind for me are:
1. Cardiff's winner (away). Miles offside.
2. Our winner (Newcastle away) - should have been a goal kick to Newcastle, not a corner to us.
3. Burnley's pen to make it 1-3 at the Amex. Should have been a pen to us immediately prior to that.
Any others?
