VAR is pampering the sulking from managers that goes on after a controversial referee's decision. It's going to achieve fuck all in the long run except create a whole different area of controversy and it'll be back to square one. I don't like it at all. All it should be used for is did the ball cross the line, the rest is transferring opinion from one official to another. For me it's a very VERY poor system.

I dont think its a poor system, i think its the issue of inconsistency in its usage thats causing the problem. eg Sons incident yesterday should have been checked and it would have been deemed a penalty. Thats annoying.

The answer potentially should be in using the VAR for matter of fact type incidents eg offsides

I mean there is a VAR decision just now for Porto,... that wouldnt have happened without VAR

These kind of VAR decisions are good. When defenders no longer can shithouse inside of the penalty area.

Depends what you define as out. When you're on the run, jumping and turning there are going to be body parts not in perfect synchrony. There's a bit of a gap, but it's straight down and I don't see him keep moving the arm towards the ball deliberately. You and others see differently but I think it's harsh. I'd be steaming if that was given against Spurs, and I wouldn't be happy to get a penalty in those circumstances.

It's his fault because he's actively seeking to block a ball and he blocks it with his arm. Had he been standing still and not moved his arm at all then that's a whole other story.

I'm 1000% sure you'd be screaming pen if that was a shot by Kane :p
