This post has been merged from a topic called 'var' by becky If ever I needed convincing that it is not my own personal bias but that VAR and its refs actually do favour the big teams, it has to be the Everton 0 Man City 1 match. It was a clear handball in so many ways, even deliberate, and some effing how they failed to award a penalty! After the myriad of the flimsiest questionable alleged handballs they gave FOR the big teams (such as Benteke's some time age when it hit his back shoulder FFS!). I am neither a Man City nor an Everton fan and was watching the game out of sheer boredom. VAR is worse than a waste of time as it gives the top six teams a HUGE advantage.

These were snapshots so we can only view them from one angle. In the case involving Rodri clearly the VAR clearly watched the incident numerous times from different angles and at different speeds and came to his "Inconclusive" judgement. I await with interest the comments of Dermot Gallagher who doesn't always agree with the decisions.

One day you may agree that refs get it wrong. This was a very poor decision and when viewed from different angles showed definitely handball.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'var' by becky The league cup final today had 4 disallowed goals. Ended 0-0 then had 22 penalties, 21 of which were almost unstoppable. The modern game needs to take a close look at all this. My fear is the game is becoming too tight.
