Thing is, they got that one right. And that means they got how many wrong?
If they got that one right, there's lots of set pieces/corners with that kind of contact and impeding of a keeper that they've just let go all year. Those can't be right too. Hell, I'm still trying to figure out how Gabriel didn't get a straight red for the head butt. How Keane didn't get a red for the foul on Doku last Monday. How Bruno didn't get a straight red in the Liverpool match ten days ago. How Declan Rice could tackle Joao Pedro *and* make contact off a corner with his arm and have nothing called. It's all stuff that is clear and obvious that VAR doesn't fix. This version of it does not do what it is supposed to do. Fix it or scrap it all together. FWIW, plenty of people did scream about the two supposed penalties City should have given up on Saturday. One of them Nunes *probably* got the ball, but if it had been given on the field, it would have stood. The other one? The Brentford guy tripped over his own two feet. No contact from Nunes at all. But there was plenty of people bitching on line about those calls. As for Bernie, it's a bad look. VAR should have done something. But it didn't. Like, for example, the aforementioned head butt ...  Previous Message "completely rethink how they use VAR or dump it" BECAUSE THEY GOT THE CALL RIGHT. Meanwhile on Saturday, City should have had a red on Silva AND two other penalties against them with none of it called and no one said shit. It's insanity. Previous Message The inconsistency is the problem. They need to either completely rethink how they use VAR or dump it. Previous Message
but it's too bad they didn't allow the goal so we could see Arsenal fans suddenly complaining about goalkeeper interference after not saying a word when they scored plenty of set piece goals interfering as much as possible with goalkeepers throughout the season.
