    VAR is not there to make correct decisions, it’s there to protect the referee from criticism.

    Still two teams that have scored in every Prem game so far...

    A Tale of Two Cities - is it just coincidence that it's the rwo clubs to have pulled a moonie in the face of FFP and PSR? <whistle>

    He's right and the same thing used to happen with Man Utd when Fergie was there.

    It's not outright favouritism, but there's definitely a subconscious tendency to favour these teams.

    exactly the point i made at the time and it seems the norm to only show the ref the clip which most supports the var officials decision instead of the 2 main ones

    Excellent video that. <laugh>

    I like it because for me it says when does gamemanship become cheating.

    Suppose it depends on what the ref was shown by var, and what the rules say.

    I love the way he goes down because he knew his tactics would see a ball incoming, but the officials all had chance to overturn the decision. Sorry I mustn't laugh.

    Was gonna say we get more red cards because we've had a poor disciplinary record, so the leaning is to punish us because of this 'record'

    Let's not forget the blatant foul not given just before city went up the other end and scored an offside goal.
