Regardless, the flag should have stayed down until the immediate goal threat was over. It may or may not have resulted in a goal but the lino got that 100% wrong. I would have been mighty miffed if that happened to us.

Watching MOTD - Leeds should’ve had a penalty there I think.
Bamford...ha ha ha

Nailed on - but who cares, it was Leeds

Totally agree, it was stonewall, from the shirt tugging to the shove.
If VAR cant see something as obvious as that then it’s not fit for purpose.
And I hate Leeds…

It wasn’t given by VAR because the foul (which was a clear foul and a yellow card) started outside of the box, and VAR can’t give retrospective freekicks or yellow card offences. It was very unlucky from a Leeds perspective, but actually in this case was correct application of VAR.
How the ref missed the foul in the first place is another question entirely.

Geez ..poor decision re the WH goal

It's a bit paper and cracks though, don't you think?
What a hideous decision to disallow that West Ham goal.
Quite rightly. VAR is getting worse - it is in the hands of the wrong people.

Which would be true if the player wasn’t also fouled once inside the box, which they clearly were.

I viewed it as all one foul play incident, which started outside of the box.
Makes you wonder who actually wanted Cucu. The fans? - apparantly no. Tuchel?? Todd Boehly vanity project - 'I can outbid City anytime'?
Pity Manchester City had a sudden unexplained aversion to spending their usual amoungt on defenders - would have been a better fit for Cucu.
If there is foul play that starts outside the box and continues inside the box then it should be a penalty. If you start pulling someone's shirt outside and continue to do so but they eventually go down inside the box then that is a penalty. Pretty certain it's always been viewed that way. However, there are very few examples of this. The incident today had shirt pulling outside the area which stopped and then a hand on the shoulder and a suspicion of a trip, three separate things.

We can all bang on about poor ref decisions and the mess that is VAR. However, just seen MOTD and how does an experienced ex pro like Shearer decide Van Dijk tackle is not a straight red?
