I also felt this summed up the VAR disgrace. Also from the Grauniad: (Sorry, wrong thread really, but relevant as weāve got Dean tomorrow. Some refs might try to balance the books. Suspect heāll just pour fuel on the fire)
Ings farce lays bare the absurdity of VAR
As the replays of Danny Ingsā disallowed stoppage-time equaliser played out on a monitor behind the Southampton substitutes twisting, a voice echoed what everyone was thinking. āThey change the rules every week,ā one said while awaiting the VAR decision. That the former referee Chris Foy later suggested the goal may well have stood had Ings not been wearing a black armband in tribute to the former Southampton club president John Mortimore just about sums up the madness of it all. And that is before you factor in the moment Matty Cash handled in the box only for the VAR, Mike Dean, to deem that his left arm remained in a natural position as the ball grazed his thigh. The Leeds defender Robin Koch was not so fortunate at Anfield in September. If fans were not already disillusioned with the technology, this game of marginal calls and microscopic lines may well have pushed some of those on the fence over the edge.
