I think that if you are going to use VAR in these matches then they should include them at every match in this round. If VAR had been used at the Swansea v Man City game then their winning goal which was clearly well offside would have been disallowed. I bet the Swans were spitting feathers.
VAR takes to long to sort out,stopping the game for over 2 minutes at a time. The powers that be are trying turn it into American Football, the next thing there will be adverts during a VAR break
I thought that VAR would be used for Red Cards only to confirm it was the right person who had been given itSo I was surprised when watching Wolves beat Man U to see Lindelof having a Red Card removed and a Yellow put in its place ?Trying to be as objective as possible I thought initially that the tackle was horrendous and was not surprised to see a Red Card. Then someone decided to review it and I did not change my mind. Still objective - I could see reasons why someone might decide he had touched the ball initially BUT if you see it again the initial contact took the Wolves players standing legHowever I have digressed - surely the Ref should be the arbiter of Red Cards and ONLY him because he gets one view and judges from that. The majority he will get right and the odd one he will have got wrongOtherwise are we going to review Yellow Cards too for the ones that should have been Red ? Good example yesterday Leeds v Blades. Many many Refs would have sent off a Blades player (Basham ? was it) who went high and clean through on the Leeds player.
