Goal Line Tec ?????

The 'no goal' last night at Villa Park, could be worth millions to Villa, and at the same time cost Sheffield United millions. It was clear on the TV that the ball had been carried over the line by the keeper. However, because the watch that the referee had on didn't buzz, the goal was not given. VAR for some reason did not intervene, and a 0-0 draw and a share of the points was the outcome. All this technology is still not faultless, and we have suffered as a result of some decisions.

From a selfish point of view it has helped us, as it keeps United in close proximity, while later in the evening Man City prevented Arsenal from getting close. We need to do the business against West Ham on Saturday now to take advantage.

The ludicrous thing was you could clearly the keeper at one point had the ball nestled against the inner surface of the post. Why do you even need technology in this case? Scandalous!

I have to add that although the appalling decision was unbelievable and VERY much to our advantage. How "unlucky / hard done by" have the Blades been this season. Must, by a country mile, be the club that have "lost" the most points through poor decisions / VAR this season.
