All season long and get away with it then that is given. Disgraceful.

Unbelievably soft and like you said they've been doing it all season.

And that was a big result for them. That was their hardest remaining fixture.

It is a bit anti football that VAR can take such a decision. While it is clear to me that an arm was placed across the goalkeeper in this situation, it happens all the time and no foul is given. But if a goal is scored then VAR can intervene and find a reason to disallow the goal.

Either it is always given or it is not given, goal or no goal. Donnarumna and many other goalies are interfered with at corners and free kicks and no foul given. The potential penalties to West Ham in the same instance were just ignored, as if they had not happened. It's a mess. Use VAR only to establish inside or offside and time limit the review to one minute, if longer needed referee decision stands.

It's the inconsistency of VAR and officiating that really annoys me.

It's not over until it's over.
