Ref Watch - Definitely a penalty for us on Davies. So why no VAR involvement? on 14:49 - Aug 26 with 2345 views | ElephantintheRoom | It’s a tricky one to explain because it requires an understanding of how football is played and the role of a referee and VAR The referee gives a penalty IF he thinks it’s a penalty - and not if he doesn’t. He didn’t. VAR overules that decision if in their opinion it was clearly a penalty. Which they didn’t. So no penalty |  |

Putting the explanation to one side, what are thoughts on the decision making process? Having watched the clip, do you think it should've been given? Looked a pretty decent shout to me. |  |

What? Everyone knows it wasn’t a penalty as it wasn’t given. The question is why was it not given as it is a clear penalty. Nothing to do with how football is played - it is about whether the VAR official is incompetent or influenced by a big club. Simple to explain. |  | |  |

It will be very interesting to see if the premier league do the Match Officials Mic'd Up television show that they did last year. It will also be interesting to see if they even actually put it in the show, which would show another level of corruption. (Only do the ones we want to do!) |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Are you going to hack off Guardiola or the manager of the other big clubs? If you are interested in keeping your job reffing in the PL, of course not. I went to a talk by a former Premier League ref some years ago now and he talked particularly about Ferguson and Man U and he confirmed the above. It’s basic human nature at play when it comes to marginal decisions. They control your future. Unfair? Yes, but that’s how it is in the Premier League. Wolves complained about always being on the wrong end of VAR last season. I’ve no idea if they are right, but one thing is for sure. They are nothing. One of the fodder clubs so if they think they’ll ever get a fair deal from refs when it comes to the important clubs, dream on. For them read Coventry v MU last season. Would the 3-2 decision been the same at the other end of the pitch? Of course not. Everyone knows that. The last thing wanted was grubby little Coventry soiling the FA Cup Final, even if the big clubs don’t care about it. Yes, we should have had a penalty, not that it would have made any difference. |  | |  |
Ref Watch - Definitely a penalty for us on Davies. So why no VAR involvement? on 09:18 - Aug 27 with 1329 views | southnorfolkblue | Frustration for me was the inconsistency. I wouldn’t have had a problem if neither penalty had been awarded by VAR, because I can see why VAR didn’t rule the Davis one as a clear and obvious error, but by that metric City certainly shouldn’t have had one either. To overturn one but not the other makes no sense to me |  |

I don't know how it can be deemed to have not been a foul and would expect us to be asking for an explanation. |  | |  |

Wrong. VAR can advise the ref to check the pitch side monitor to review the incident. Much like the Man City pen. VAR did not over rule the ref on it, they suggested he review it and he made his own decision after viewing a replay. |  | |  |
