I’m so cross

yoyo

Deliberately handled...I think not. What a joke

whupathman

hopefully next year football will be football

I’ve never been a fan of VAR

For me it offers absolutely nothing

People make excuses for it being used, I can’t see what it offers

Having said that, we didn’t deserve anything out of that

OldCastleSwift

Disgraceful rule. FA need to sort this out. Absolutely rotten

Agreed. VAR did it’s job in enforcing the rules. The ball was kicked against his arm. There was nothing he could do to avoid it.

I get VAR and the job it has to do. The rules have to be changed. Handball has to be a deliberate act. Players have hands and can't just magic them out of the way if someone heads the ball against you.

Disgusting.

And the accidental handball in the build-up is nonsense if you can't define when the build-up is. How far do you roll the move back?

A few weeks ago Liverpool scored against City 10 seconds after it had accidentally hit TAA's arm/hand up the other end of the pitch.

What is the rule for this? Is it time-measured? Distance-measured? Or is it, as I suspect, that nobody has a clue what they're doing?

I'm disgusted.

It's nothing to do with VAR. It's the new rules, like them or not.

Can't think anyone who watched the game thinks we didn't deserve a point.

The rules should have been changed before it came in. Simple. Not the other way around. At the moment, as it is, VAR doesn’t offer anything.

It is, though, because as I understand VAR still have to decide whether it's part of the build-up to the goal. It was a bit earlier in Declan's run, then he went on, then passed it.

How far do you go back? Who decides?

Nothing to do with VAR and everything to do with the rule.

I think our transfer priorities just changed as we must try and secure a first team keeper now. I feel the loss of Fabianski being injured just lost yet another point this season, direct keeper errors.
