VAR needs to start being accountable for these decisions. That Tarkowski high foot is inexplicable, someone needs to come out and explain that as there is no logical reason to not give a pen. Bring in broadcasted dialogue like rugby so we can understand the decision making process. There is one rule for the penalty areas and another for elsewhere.
It is even more infuriating when so many soft free kicks are given when all a player does is literally fall over or drop to his knees with minimal contact. 9 times out of 10 refs give them, makes my blood boil.
These two sides of the game are killing it for me and I am getting closer each game to just switching it off.
The decision yesterday was probably correct by the letter of the law, the problem is that ‘letter’ is very wrong. Needs to be thicker lines and a gap between them to be offside. That will at least bring back the marginal offsides in the attacking teams favour.
Something needs to change fast.
If you are first you are first. If you are second you are nothing.
