‘Today there was so many inicidences, but every game seems to be around VAR decisions.
‘21 minutes of extra time we played. Because we’re waiting for VAR.’

…Example from another first-half set piece.
Victor Lindelof marking Rodri at the corner. Bernardo blocks and holds Lindelof back to prevent the defender running with Rodri, who gets free.
All directly in front of the referee. No foul given - as is usually the case…

There are multiple challenges of the kind Rasmus Hojland made on Rodri in every Premier League match. Rarely are penalties given for them.

Yet another game changing VAR intervention in a season pockmarked by them.

English FA chief executive Mark Bullingham says football’s lawmakers will discuss extending VAR’s remit to free kicks and corner kicks. ‘I know that is something we would discuss in the next IFAB.’

Because the obvious solution to VAR’s multiple problems is to expand its use…

Referees' chief Howard Webb: 'I know that IFAB - in fact before this situation even happened - I knew that they were going to do a full review of the Laws of the Game relating to the use of VAR.'

Aye, after 7 years of controversy and incompetence an IFAB review will fix VAR...

Any handball incident that requires two and a half minutes of VAR and refereee review to make a final decision on is clearly not a clear and obvious error.

‘VAR is the solution.’
- It wasn’t.

‘Rewriting the rules is the solution.’
- David Elleray made them worse.

‘Making VAR audio available is the solution.’
- Still not solved, but now we can hear that the Laws are a mess and English referees don’t know how to apply them.

Chief referee Howard Webb: 'From the outset I think this should have been disallowed. It certainly appears Akanji has an impact on Leno who seems to hesitate.
'We think it's a clear situation of offside, unfortunately it wasn't identified on the day. This was an error.'

Shay Given: ‘I’m surprised it’s not been given for an offside. Akanji is clearly in the line of vision of the goalkeeper, he jumps out of the way, and Leno waits then reacts after it passes Akanji.
‘So you can’t say to me he’s not interfering with the goalkeeper’s line. He has…

Bernd Leno clearly has to wait for the ball to pass Manuel Akanji before committing to his dive towards the ball, which prevents the Fulham goalkeeper rom making a save.
VAR refuses to intervene by asking the referee to review this judgement call.
