This f***ing clear and obvious error bollocks. It couldn't be overturned due to the current regulations but FFS. Get the ref to have another look and properly allow him to way up the decision.
It wasn't. The Newcastle player had decided to go down before the contact. Should be a yellow card for diving.The whole don’t care how long it takes to make the right decision is all well and good but the experience for the fans inside the stadium is absolutely atrocious, the VAR rooms seem like panic ridden pits of despair, if it’s taking you 5 and a half minutes to draw lines on a screen then you’re clearly incompetent at your job.
The paying customers in the stadium can’t stand it, the paying customers who pay to watch on TV can’t hear the discussions either, I’d have a lot more sympathy if I could hear the discussions, but they won’t let us hear in because then we will hear what an absolute shit show it is.
And after all that I’m still not convinced that was the right decision.
That’s what I was thinking, I don’t see contact at all.I’m pretty sure there is actually zero contact with the foot there and Schar dives - so poor from the VAR officials - at least send the ref over.

I’m pretty sure there is zero contact with his foot to Schar’s foot. May be a tiny bit of leg on leg but it’s 100% not a pen!That’s what I was thinking, I don’t see contact at all.
Exactly what I posted before he said it…he is so, so predictableShay given saying it’s a penalty and Schar was clever, oh f**k off… not biased at all then
Anyone who speaks so quickly should never be trusted. Not enough time for his brain to engage.Dont expect Shay Given to agree to anything that is negative towards Newcastle
There u go ..Given penalty…bllx
Wouldn't need to be clever if it was actually a foul.Shay given saying it’s a penalty and Schar was clever, oh f**k off… not biased at all then
