VAR penalties
3 blatant errors last night. Even watching the highlights before showing a re-run, it was obvious to me that two were not penalties and one was. Ok, a referee can get it wrong but how the heck can the VAR guys with multiple replays not see that these refs have made obvious errors. Incompetence of the highest order.

Re: VAR penalties
You are incorrect. One of them WAS a penalty but not given. But to answer your question, what's happening is that refs are taking what they think is the safe option and relying on VAR to make the correct call.DuvB wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2020 4:55 pm 3 blatant errors last night.
