    Check out Penalty awarded to Fulham V Oldham. Actually used VAR aswell. I thought they were using it to send Tom Cairney off for diving. Unbelievable John.

    Just seen it. Do they now use crickets snickometer to see if there was the faintest of touches. After all isn’t the ruling that the player is entitled to go down if an opponent even breathes near him
    Id love to see the explanation from the ref as to why VAR didn’t overturn that. Oh they don’t ever do that in Football do they.

    The whole VAR thing is still a joke.
    When the referee at our game knew there was VAR why the hell did he started the process of taking a penalty before waiting for a judgement? That goes against all the FIFA rules.

    Referees are ignoring the monitor and going fully in what somebody somewhere else tells them too. Again against FIFA regulations.

    Pgmol (those who run referees in England) are knowingly and openly ignoring the guidelines set out by FIFA and the FA are allowing them to do so. They should be careful because a club will sue PGMOL for it soon if a decision wrongly goes against them and it's because PGMOL refuse to follow guidelines.

    Var is still down to someone's opinion of the incident.

    In fact it's down to the opinion of the guy who made the decision in the first place. It's bonkers. I'm not sure any of the refs actually know how they are supposed to use it they all look lost.

    Didn't realise the ref who reviewing the incident isn't actually in the ground - I know with modern technology it isn't a problem but found it surprising

    As a club, Fulham ought to have been sanctioned for institutionalised cheating last season and Cairney banned sine die as the ringleader in chief.

    What I find funny this season is my realistic Fulham supporting mate who admits what they got up to last season was beyond the pale now says that they are being outdone by the other Premier League teams who are even better at it and have the refs in their pocket!

    That's right. Says in the Sunday Mirror the reviewer for some games is up to 230 miles away.!

    What difference does it make?

    I get debating whether the reviewer should be in the ground or not, personally I don't think it matters, but what difference does it make if the reviewer is 5 miles away, 230 miles away, on the moon, underground at the north pole? If they're not in the ground, they're not in the ground.

    But he can only recommend to the ref, the ref at the game is supposed tonwwtch it again on a monitor which just slows it all down. The ref in the room should just make the decision and overrule him and get on with it

    Don’t understand why VAR is allowed in cup games like this, surely there is an argument that the team used to playing with it have an advantage?

    Perhaps the powers that be recruit VAR operatives via the RNIB. Absolutely no way could that have been deemed a penalty and with the benefit of hindsight (VAR) it simply confirmed that the Fulham player was cheating. Given the media's failure to challenge such behaviour from officials it really does make me wonder if the 'tin-foil hat' conspiracy theorists do actually have a point in as much as the big teams appear to get the majority of the decisions in their favour. Currently some of these decisions are farcical and one has to question if they are really genuine errors by officials.

    The FA keep calling for 'Respect' but given the number of dodgy decisions we keep seeing with no sanctions against poor performance do officials really deserve it. Their job is made more difficult by the play acting and cheating but inaction from the FA allows it to happen.Even if a foul /contact occurs overreacting/feigning injury should be heavily punished. If players like the Fulham one, were retrospectively fined AND banned for several games it would reduce or eliminate those incidents. Similarly, dissent where mass players surround the ref should result in instant yellow cards.

    Incidents like the Fulham 'penalty' make a mockery of the 'beautiful game'

    Couldn't agree more. Shoud be instant yellow and 15 minutes off the pitch in a "sin bin" for diving in the box.
