The state of the Everton v Forest game was a joke. Absolutely no issue with what Forest said, if anything they are spot on, and they are actually saying what everyone is thinking. That was one of the worst refereeing performances I’ve seen. Forget VAR for a minute, how has Anthony Taylor not given at least 2 of those penalties on the field.

The two hand ball decisions, in two semi's of the same trophy, at the same ground, same penalty box, two different outcomes. Enough said.

Imagine going to a restaurant, being served food and telling the manager "this chicken is not cooked", he ignores you and forces you to eat it, only for you to get food poisoning the next day. You come out the next day and say you warned the company, they forced you to eat it, and now you're in the mud.

The issue is how suspiciously this whole thing has played out. Forest warn them about it, then we get a match where at least 2 of those 3 HAVE TO be penalties. Up until that point, I always said that the bad refereeing is gross incompetence rather than corruption. I’m not a fan of Everton or Forest, but that game has pushed me just a little bit closer to believing that bias has played a factor into that game. And the PGMOL very easily could have avoided this from happening if they had taken Forest’s warning seriously.

We do have the same discussions in Germany. I'd be surprised if they weren't the same everywhere. Main arguments are: - it disrupts the flow of the game and the flow of emotions (quite true) - it doesn't put away with grey areas and judgement calls (not the fault of VAR, but of the rules and the nature of the game) - shoddy implementation (sometimes VAR getting active, sometimes not)

Nah the same problem is in all countries. You celebrate a goal and then 2 mins later it’s being ruled out. That’s just how VAR is

1. Scrap VAR 2. Scrap the new UCL format 3. Keep FA Cup replays 4. Scrap international breaks mid-season and replace them with summer qualifiers Four simple changes right there that could fix football

and thats why its a broken rule. For example - if you had Peter Crouch attacking running in line with Kante the last defender - their bodies could be in line with each other but Crouchy stride would reach further forward than Kante because of the clear height difference and longer legs - thus deeming him offside when in reality he is actually in line with Kante. So the rule is biased in favor of shorter players - so its broken.

Coventry were robbed by VAR, he was clearly level. Also Notts Forest robbed of at least two penalties. Inept and corrupt

When I first heard coming of VAR, into the beautiful game, I thought a new era of fairness had been born. Unfortunately, it looks like nothing has changed . We still have human biases deciding who wins and or loses the game. Remember, besides those who have invested their fortune in the game, the common fan has invested her's or his emotions. Let the game be won on the pitch not in the VAR room.Its shameful and scandalous .

Coventry fan here, devastated, most ive ever celebrated a goal in my life. Spent the last day desperately looking for copium to show that the goal was clearly offside so i can easily let it go, but ive been seeing the opposite about the lines badly drawn, running over AWB foot etc.

Both United fans and players knew there wasnt anything to celebrate. Not so mutch the offside but the complete sh*t show United put on. Like someone said, to bad a premier leauge team was knocked out by a premiership team.

I've been saying from the start when it was 1st introduced that there's corruption involved with VAR. The day will come when a whistle blower comes forward to release evidence that shows some games are getting fixed so teams get vital goals struck off.

Fair play for calling it as it was for the Cov game. The balls on the ref to go back and take away that goal based on that little of a margin is beyond me.

We really need to start getting protest underway, and unite as football fans against the FA against the PGMOL and take our game back

It's not VAR, it's the rules the game is played too. The laws of the game are designed for one ref on the pitch and not to be examined at pixel level. Offside for example, the rule is in place to stop attackers just hanging around in the box. It's was never designed to stop an attacker who was a toenail ahead of the defender. VAR should be down to the captain to request a review with limited reviews per half. If the team don't want to question it then the game continues.

👍🏼 for calling out the officials cheating.

Massive respect for your honesty. I'm a Liverpool fan but I love what you say for football fans in general. Keep up the brilliant content.

imagine introducing VAR in a multi-million heavy sport and only installing like some 30 cameras which cant even provide good angles needed for the decisions...

Very good blog Goldenbridge! If they take away VAR then they could go to a system where they have 2 on-field refs and 2 linesmen to increase the surveillance and control??

The problem with VAR is the people who run it not the technology and that is why with VAR or not the mistakes will continue to happen because of the incompetence of these so called professional referees. Remember in the Everton v Forest game VAR or not the referee didn’t give any of the three penalties so whether we keep it or not fans will continue to suffer

Keep in mind that if VAR wasn't a thing, United would've been knocked out by Coventry. 😂😂

The really bad problems with refereeing and VAR have started this season mostly. I don't know what drugs the PGMOL has been taking, but prior to this season it was mostly okay (not great but still acceptable). Even though I think VAR should be scaled back regardless. VAR should just be the automated offside technology

Really really appreciating your commentary on all this VAR/PGMOL/corporate media corruption and collusion, Mark. It is so important for the sport to have such an influential voice and major platform speaking truth and asking the right questions on behalf of real fans, without ever holding back. Thank you!

It didn't go in. Bein sports made the lines.

When they are reviewing an offside how do they determine exactly when the passing players foot touches the football? Is it based on when the ball leaves your foot, or when your foot first touches the ball. I know it's only a split second but I've always wondered. Can anyone help explain?

Getting rid of VAR doesn’t improve the fundamental issue. Refereeing in this country is deplorable. VAR with competent refereeing will improve the sport but when you give incompetent referees this tool it just amplifies how dire the situation is.

It not VAR that’s the problem. It’s the people making the decisions. I.E not human error. Being made on purpose.

The line was drawn over the man United players foot to make it look offside for the 4th goal. Man United lost that game and the FA couldn’t handle a fairytale ending for the FA cup somehow…..

Big respect for calling out VAR even when it benefits you. Good to see you standing for football as a whole, that's rare from fans these days.

Fair play Mark, just putting out there what everyone is thinking . Unfortunately football is too subjective as compared to other sports for VAR to work.

Mark, you’re absolutely spot-on. The handball in the Chelsea vs Man City can only be down to sinister reasons. You cannot have the referee and VAR not interpret it as a penalty as every single other person would. And I agree the pundits for no reason cast doubt if it is or it isn’t. Yes, we live in a dictatorship as we do with every other aspect of our lives. We have narcissistic rulers who revel in the power and the ability to control and ignore what the rest of us want or say.
