Question I have is who are these faceless muppets sitting in Shockley Park? Have they played the game? Are they proven independent? Is anyone checking the decisions they make in terms of bias? So many questions which are killing the game. Thought the Gallagher penalty was nailed on. Then in the lead up to their penalty, Gallagher was clearly fouled moments before - this was so clear to anyone ..... except the ref and the VAR muppets. Then Johnstone save was marginal.

I think VAR should be limited to goal line decisions. Much easier to assess and less contentious. The oenalty situation is a complete farce.

They are not faceless muppets. They are fellow referees All looking after their own

True and well corrected. Just looked deeper into VAR on the premier league website. It clearly states “ VAR will be used only for “clear and obvious errors” or “serious missed incidents” in four match-changing situations: goals; penalty decisions; direct red-card incidents; and mistaken identity.” So take the Gallagher penalty yesterday - was that a clear and obvious mistake after the ref had awarded the penalty? I thought the foul in the lead up to their penalty was much more clear and obvious.
