If that was given against my team I’d be fucking fuming.

Should have been booked for diving. Complete farce this has become

I don’t think it was a penalty, I feel bad that it was given and I would be annoyed if it was given against my team. Playing devils advocate, I think it went something like this; Did he kick the ball? no, Did he make contact with the player? very minimal but yes, Does it trip the player? It looks like it does, so it doesn’t make it a clear and obvious mistake from Anthony Taylor so they can’t overrule it, that being said, I don’t understand why they can’t make him go look at it on the screen? Allowing the ref to watch it from different angles would prevent bad calls like these.

I don’t see the point of mentioning it anymore. There’s so clearly an agenda I refuse to get annoyed. I pray for the day it actually gets investigated

First viewing- clear penalty.

Every single replay after that made it more and more clear it shouldn’t be. Was really surprised when it was given. Yellow card for diving for the Newcastle player would have been a fairer outcome

I think the issue is a penalty was called on the pitch.

I don’t think it’s a penalty. But tbh I think VAR worked as it should here. There was contact and I don’t think there was clear evidence to overturn the call on the pitch. Definitely an odd situation but I think VAR did what it should here.

Anyone else feel that VAR has been more of a shambles this season?

Not neutral but agreed, never a penalty.

The referees give favour to the team that gets the most viewers, Newcastle have invested in their team, giving them a meteoric rise and everyone is watching, hoping they do better than Arsenal. Neither side deserves the win imo, a draw feels right 🤞🏼
