VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

@galeforce you could argue the clearance didn’t clear the ball which is a fair call

Neville is making a fair call... is there a clear error from the ref there? I’d argue no as it’s a debatable call at best hence the arguing now so it shouldn’t have been given retrospectively

I’d argue yes, as it’s a blatant penalty, but I take your point.

If that incident happens in a Spurs game and we don’t get the pen I’d be furious.
 
Isn't that argument only valid if you also accept the same of those constantly criticising it?

Fair point, however we are led to believe that VAR was going to clear up all the debatable actions and make every thing clear. My point is that it NEVER will be able to do that and this is a prime example.

What would your opinion be if we lost a cup final on what was a debatable decision.

I can't remember hearing or seeing that anywhere. What it will do is reduce the number of wrong calls, but it still involves a human element and it's the decisions they make that cause the problems.
 
And landed at his feet, in the box, ready to pull the trigger, before he got cleared out by a defender.

But control needs intent

If it hadn’t been touched by the defender I would agree by he had no way of knowing where it was going form the defenders touch and it hit his running leg

Really?, so it will ( in your opinion) end the number of wrong calls, no much point if it also creates a situation ( like todays) that was a wrong decision.
