Well it seems that only VAR and you are the only 2 who think it was inconclusive. TBF I think Tierney was unsighted so needed VAR to step up, clearly who was not up to the task

The VAR formed the opinion that the evidence was inconclusive and clearly this will (If it hasn't already) be discussed as part of the forensic post-match analysis.

Had the ball made contact lower down on the arm, the VAR would have arrived at a different decision.

strange that Riley says sorry to everton but not us , not looking good regarding the person on VAR ,

I wouldn't say I entirely subscribe to your thinking although I did bring up corruption but more 'tongue in cheek' than a devoted belief let alone evidence for. I do think it naive however to not look at the culture and circumstances around football (as you've highlighted) and not accept it as at least a possibility if not reality.

I could never be a football referee at any level, I know I'd have bias whomever was playing whether it be the Sudanese second division or the English Premier League. If you then added a significant sum of money to the equation of which I was confident would remain unexposed, I'd certainly be willing to give a few dodgy decisions here and there Let's say Southampton vs Wolves or something, would be very hard to make a full case for in any circumstance without full evidence, given the ambiguity around officiating these days. Throw 5 or 6 figures on the table and I'd certainly be inclined!

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
