    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

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

    More like the handball rule which is ridiculous.
    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.

    SU will claim revenge for Tevez saga so they’ll be pleased
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    I’m still in favor of VAR though the rules need to be tweaked (i.e. offside by millimetres, handball rule, etc.). Some people have forgotten how many games we lost due to dodgy decisions
  • ammerinaberdeenammerinaberdeen
    This handball rule HAS to go.its absolutely stupid!!!
    I’m in favour of VAR but FA have to their heads out their .......... fill in the blanks!!!

    You seem to be missing the point.

    The new rules re: handball (which do not consider intent) have nothing to do with VAR.

    Over the last few PL rounds, VAR has clearly shown it's worth.

    Very cruel to lose this game. Deserved a point. OK Martin made a mistake but also made a couple of smart saves.
    The disallowed goal - it was ball to hand and there was not way Rice could get out of way.
    A good performance though Lanzini was not that good. Haller could have had a hat-trick but it was not to be. Still, hopeful for the next game.
