On field refs don’t have the balls to disagree with VAR officials

Why cant Refs have the courage of their convictions. How can that be deemed a "clear and obvious error"?
Theres no way that's a foul or the Wolves players challange made Wilson go to the floor.
VAR is ruining the game
How can that be a clear and obvious error? How? Absolutely ridiculous. I really feel for Gary O’Neil. That’s three scandalous penalties they have had awarded against them and in every occasion they have lost the game as a result.
If that was us I dread to think what we would feel like.

That, like Forest's, just isn't clear and obvious it's the VAR ref watching over and over again to decide. How the f*** is it then a clear and obvious error? Webb, you bald prick (joking), needs to change what they are looking for.

They seem to be trying to present a united front now between refs and var officials, which renders the whole thing of going over to the monitor utterly pointless.

When the VAR officials get rather excited after yet another possible soft pen “You really want to look at this”. … I’d love it if occasionally refs having viewed the footage, dished out yellows to the simulating player.
Probably not in the VAR rule book, but it’d be funny.

Admitted by Mike Dean.
Except he was saying they don't want to overrule the on-field ref. But that seems not to be the case now.

Shocking. What an unpleasant team Fulham are.

For what is allegedly the best league in the world. Our standard and process of officiating is not good enough.

Good point, that was the hair pull on Cuckoo when Spuds unfairly equalised, Dean didn’t want to give his mate more grief after a controversial violent game.
But I was thinking after tonight more about the overall thing, when VAR officials flag up a possible pen, the whistler seems to then always dramatically point to the spot. Thus not embarrassing his VAR mate who caused a long delay.

As others have said, VAR shouldn't be getting involved unless it's a clear and obvious mistake. The onfield decision not to award Fulham their 2nd pen was not a clear and obvious mistake. In fact, the referee was probably correct initially, not giving a pen. No way should he be revisiting that, let alone changing his mind!

Just seen the highlights. Wolves absolutely robbed - shocking decisions for the two Fulham penalties. Awful

Like the Forest one on Sat, for the second Fulham pen there was no clear and obvious reason to overturn the on-field decision.
From our pov, the annoying thing is if VAR hadn't unnecessarily intervened, Dunk wouldn't have been sent off.
So tired of this b*****ks now.

To be fair Wolves had no chance with those two clowns in charge .

On pens I’d rather see an ex player, be involved in VAR. For example Chris Sutton is brilliant in calling out divers, unlike most pundits who go along with the cheating to keep their lucrative jobs in promoting the 
soccer product .
PL officials now take a one-eyed view on whether there was contact on the attacker. Seemingly ignoring doing a Kane (taking an unnatural trajectory away from the ball to collide), beginning to fall before contact, or a general sense that a finely tuned athlete with balance is taking the piss.
