VAR is a joke I preferred it when it wasn’t there . It’s just so inconsistent

To me its a clear penalty
City are basically using a cheat code this season.
The game restarted.
There was a push from behind from Trossard too. Could've gone either way tbf. More baffled that it took them 5 minutes to call Pawson, who's a clown.
VAR called the on field review over Bernardo kicking his leg into the defender 
And the ref gave the penalty
And the ref gave the penalty
Silva makes the contact by sticking his foot between the defenders legs
Nah. So far they're winning the games they would have won anyway. It's just 3-0 (Haaland, Haaland, Haaland) instead of 3-0 (Sterling, Gundogan, De Bruyne).
No, ball never went out of play for about three minutes.
His hand was there, sure, but impossible to say how much of a push it was.
incompetent refs ruining a game of football. Just another weekend.
The slight push had nothing to do with Silva moving his leg towards the defender's leg.
Is that definitely the rule? I probably misremembering, but hasn't there been a game where the teams were brought back after the final whistle after a VAR check?
True. I’ve made peace with City winning the league this season. If they don’t win the CL and win the PL it will be seen as a failure.
And you got a penalty after the game ended against Brighton a few seasons ago.
Three league titles in a row and five in six seasons is anything but a failure. Guardiola deserves more respect for the dominance he’s had over English football.
It is. Push from behind and defender sticks his foot out. The first one on Haaland is also crystal clear. Grealish is a bit more open for interpretation but the defender were nowhere near the ball then either. This is just what happens when VAR is prepared to look away a couple of times to protect the ref but the ref in question is completely out of his depth so the situations just end up stacking up. You then end up stopping the game to save some face but end up looking silly either way
How many Premier League goals has Haaland now?
Yeah, as I said, I wouldn't haven't been fussed if it hadn't been given. Haaland's was much more obvious. Still can't understand how Pawson is still a PL referee.
Yeah, us against Brighton oddly enough. I'm not really sure on the rules around it tbh, much like the officials.
Haaland have scored two goals more than United in the PL.
I'm only going slightly mad then - just forgot it was actually us
17, two more than United.
17 in 11 games
Given the actual rule, that's fair game (not that I'm condoning it). Any attacking player in the box would search for contact, the push just added to the fuel. Pawson previously messed up with Haaland's so my guess is that he compensated for that.
I can kinda understand the penalty, but it is a 50/50. Something to be said for that push + defender sticking his leg out. The first one was a penalty but not given.
What I don’t understand is the constant moaning on VAR. Yes, they must do better. But people seem to have short term memories, saying they want to get rid of it. Just insane to me to even suggest getting rid of it.
Anyway, constantly talking about the ref/VAR etc. is tiring. Every club and fan think they are the ones getting the short end of the stick, world against them blablabla.
City’s right side doesn’t seem as threatening as the left. Cancelo bring a lot in attack on the left. Grealish is a downgrade from Foden.

Sky are saying the game was restarted.
He’s over halfway towards the record (32).
But not after the game restarted. There is the distinction that they have used for not going back to before a throwing or freekick before. Not that the ball had gone dead but that play had resumed after a stoppage.
Never a penalty in the Brighton game. Ref has fallen for one there. Silva flings his leg out to the left to make contact, and gets it. Unnatural movement designed to initiate contact, and it worked. Really naive refereeing though.
Much more important in that game, is what the feck is Guardiola wearing? He looks like he’s stolen the clothes of one of his youth academy players. FFS man, you’re 51.

Foden is such an ugly cnut. He just emanates stupidity.
Wasn't the restart after a goal kick immediately following the incident?
Why is there no yellow for Haaland ?
It just don't make no sense
Mahrez is a donkey
Trossard has scored for Brighton.
Wooow, they are back in the game
Ok hes pretty good
Ronaldo saves that
He shouldn't have been allowed them to kick off until the decision was made. If he kicks off and the ref allows the game to go on then it shouldn't be brought back.
