Cannot for the life of me understand why non Premier league clubs are not allowed the luxury of VAR for a quarter final of the FA Cup. Surely that's prejudiced, considering all games should be played on a level footing. Tonight's refereeing was disgusting two proper awful decisions, especially the penalty, the ref from an obstructed view, puts the whistle to his mouth quicker than a brass in a brothel !!
Surely some retrospective reffing could be dealt out by the dodgy decisions panel, and deduct the two incorrect goals awarded by the officials.....in the name of fair play even......ffs |  | | |  |

If only. Will never happen but VAR at all grounds should be a primary requirement especially from the 5th round onwards. It’s either used by all in a round or no one. |  |

With the ref knowing there was no VAR, he knew he could award a pen without any real concern, along with the offside goal....easy cop out for a bent cvnt. |  | | |

Watched the game on tv after going to the rugby so had benefit of replay. Typical big team decisions would never have been given at the other end. One of the reasons why i grew to hate PL. |  | | |

It’s even worse because we have VAR at the ground and used it last season. How does it make any sense not to use it? |  | | |

It’s coming into force in the Premier League next season and I think it’s only a matter of time before it will be in the Championship
The Ironic fact and especially after today’s games
Manchester City voted for VAR, whereas Swansea City voted against it | | | |

TBH, I don't think it's "big team decisions". It's just incompetent officiating.
Marriner was in an awful position for the pen - there's no way he had a clear view. So either he guessed, or the lino gave it. Then again, if Sterling doesn't go down like he's been shot, they don't get the pen. So basically, the pen is a combination of cheating and poor officiating. What gets me is that it probably didn't cross Marriner's mind that Sterling might have dived.
Aguero's goal is offside - plain and simple. That's the lino's fault. Again, just incompetence. | | | |

The linesman didn't raise his flag for the pen, he was in a better position, yet Mariner didn't consult him. |  | | |

So its then conditional as to how it can be enabled?
Bedlington Terriers have a magical cup run, making it to quarter-finals. Lose to Swansea due to a blatant foul by VDH, where he chops off the attackers legs with a chainsaw in the box. Ref rules it happened outside, no VAR.
Swansea then draw away to Liverpool in the semi-finals, for purposes of the example played at Anfield. VDH, emboldened by getting away with amputation tries the same thing this time on Salah. Aha! This time VAR is present, wham, Dutchie passes on the left hand side as he trots back to dressing room, Swansea eliminated after penalty given.
And... what if all teams left in fifth round don't have VAR facilitiies - it would never be used in the cup?
The problem with VAR is it's ok for the top teams who have the facilities. It's ok for leagues that are static, ie MLS. Other than that, it's a two tier approach between have and have nots which is one of the fundamental problems with VAR. A bad decision is a bad decision regardless of the level it occurs at. You can either try to make all decisions correct at all levels or just accept official errors are part of the game in the same way player errors are. A half and half approach isn't something I'm comfortable with. | | | |

Yes incompetent but as we found out in prev yrs against the big teams 50/50 calls nearly always go their way | | | |

Think it was on BBC online it was because it had been used on Man City the 4th and 5th rounds. Check it out as I'm drowning my sorrows and might be blathering shte. | |

Wrong mate, VAR is only used if both teams are in the PL. | | | |

And that’s the answer to the OP - we’re set up to be able to use VAR because of being in the PL last season. Most EFL clubs aren’t equipped for it. FA wanted ‘consistency’ by restricting it to PL clubs. I don’t see how that’s any more consistent than saying clubs equipped to use it could use it. But there we are, it is what it is. |  | | |

If that's the case then it's an absolute shocker. There was no way, from his position, he could have known whether there was contact or if CCV had got the ball. There were about 4 or 5 players in a line between him and the incident - and he was on the wrong side to see if there was contact anyway. The lino had the best view - I'm guessing he bottled it. | | | |

One thing not mentioned about 5 city players had a right go at the officials on half time whistle in the centre circle putting immense pressure on them and possibly influencing them to even things up. |  | | |

Ending in Laporte hitting one of ours in front of the ref ending in a yellow instead of a red card. | |

By trying to make out they had been hard done to with our pen , (even though they hadn't) they put the doubt in the mind of the referee. | | | |

That's not evening things up though is it? That's a blatant attempt to infrluence the referee wouldn't you say? | | | |
