We've had 3 players injured this season from dangerous/out of control tackles and not one of the challenges was even given as a free kick.


Seems legit.

Too much sun to the head.

VAR needs binning off though, it's made things a lot worse rather than better. Joke of a system. The main shit point about it is the not celebrating goals 100% with the nagging thought in the back of your mind it will get over turned. Utter shite.

thats 3 penalties this season i can think off possibly more newcastle home palace away and yesterday

Nice to see these clowns make wrong decisions even when they have the added advantage of recorded video footage

Both Casimero's were reds. I'd be fuming if it was us and they weren't given.

The same thing did happen to us when Casemiro got sent off the first time at literally the same time, and nothing happened. That's why it's £#%&!ing shite. If ones a red and needs to get reviewed from the worst angle at the pitchside, then they all do. But they don't.

First one definitely not. 2nd one 50/50 based on the sheer number that don’t get reds for the same thing. See Dan Burn vs. Wolves yesterday.

Not even a foul. Not reviewed.

I don't know what you mean.

The first sending off was soft but once Casimero raised his hands to the player he takes a risk. Stupid thing for someone as experienced as him to do.

I'm not saying it wasn't a stupid thing to do (although still not a red imo), but during the same scuffle Fred got hit in neck. It was probably worse than what Casemiro was doing, considering he just had Hughes's shirt. But it wasn't reviewed or even mentioned by VAR.

When VAR does what it can to get someone sent off, while completely ignoring the same offence by an opposition player that took place at exactly the same time, then it's clear that VAR, or at least the people using it, is completely useless.

I hate VAR, its just given incompentent people more opportunity to be incompetent.

And protection for their incompetence.
