The point really is, i watch several other top European leagues, none of them, aside for the odd, once in a blue moon incident have any furore or controversy about how VAR is used and applied, the Premier League can not continue being a law unto itself and using it to affect the outcomes of games contray to the laws of the game and prescribed UEFA/FIFA interpretation of said laws
It did also happen in the UAE FC game yesterday, with Arsenal denied a penalty and no review conducted, when in every other top European league i watch, in which they use VAR correctly and apply the laws of the game correctly and in the Champions or Europa League it's a penalty, no fuss, no controversy, no officials doing as they please, penalty
Yes there are elements of VAR that ppl don't like the UEFA/FIFA rules on how laws must be applied and interpreted, but what happened yesterday had nothing to do with that. The VAR official twice telling the match referee a player was offside when he wasn't is completely unacceptable
Neither were one of the 0.5mm of a players shirt offside that everyone disliked so much, they simply weren't offside at all
