VAR

Thought it was a great decision myself . Nothing that happened there was reason to chalk it off

Listening to Neville moaning about it was comedy gold
Just watched it for the first time. I think the correct decision was reached.

However... there was nothing clear and obvious about it, therefore original decision should have stood.

Too much VAR intervention is killing the game. The euphoria of celebrating your team scoring a big goal is the best thing in sport (perhaps in life?). That moment of delirium has been taken away.

As far as I'm concerned a 'clear and obvious' error happens perhaps 5 time a season (phantom goal / 5 yards offside scenario). These errors can be rectified with one 10 second replay. This is what I though we were signing up to. Not a micro analysis on every significant match moment.
 
The Professional Referees Organisation have now said the goal should have been disallowed. Oh, well. I'm over it.
But they didn't say the goal should have been disallowed .What they said was that they (VAR ) went beyond their remit in telling the ref to award the goal and that it should have been referred back to the ref for an on field review

We all know what that normally means .

I hate VAR and would remove it from the game .But we have it and would disagree that it wasn't clear and obvious .
The original decision was offside against Halland which was a clear and obvious mistake .

The argument was whether City's Argie who was in an offside position stopped Utds Argie from playing the ball . That was a subjective decision so should have been referred back to an on field review

I was paraphrasing because it's amusing when Man U get stuffed at home by an error. Palace getting away with one there would obviously be better but a 10 man Citeh team turning them over is pretty funny too.

Ref Watch will be entertaining today - Dermot Gallagher will be in full squirm mode trying to justify the decision.
