VAR shambles in Liverpool/Spurs.

VAR shambles in Liverpool/Spurs.

First, Kane gets off with just a yellow for a studs up challenge on Robertson. Robertson has a yellow upgraded to a red for a foul when he swung at the ball and missed, making very good contact with some intention to leave a bit in. I have no clue how the Kane challenge is just a yellow, without even an on-field check, and Robertson's gets upgraded to a red. Either both are yellows or both are reds.

Add on to it no penalty when Jota gets barged over in the box. That's on top of VAR missing Ederson taking out a Newcastle player in the box in City/Newcastle. Not a good day for PL VAR, which says a lot because there were only three games.

      - Shielding it within playing distance is perfectly legal - wcnitz 2021-12-20 07:06:06
        I didn’t say it was illegal. - NDMike2001 2021-12-20 12:48:41
