Watched Man City match (in the pub) don’t care who wins, City score injury time “winner†. everyone watching know it’s a goal, everyone in the Etihad know it’s a goal, all the betting firms know it’s a goal, yet it’s ruled out by one mans opinion who’s watching on TV. Monday when all teams have played twice, put VAR back in the box before this season is a joke.

I agree Oxeymoron, but now VAR is in it will never be scrapped. We can only hope it will improve but I very much doubt that will happen. RIP football as we know it!

Oxymoron! Hadn't made that connection before. So bad it's very good :-)

VAR is here to stay. The technology is well-established in other sports. By the way, VAR didn't rule out legitimate goals for Man City and Wolves. It was the rule change that said that any handball, however unintended in the build up, would nullify the goal.
If the handball rules had not been changed, the recent Wolves and Man City goals would have stood. VAR is not to blame!
