Surely VAR would have seen the penalty ruled out for offside, the red ruled out for accidental contact and Atcheson sent off for a 2nd yellow.
Careful what you wish for...... |  |

What game are you referring to?
Edit: Our game, you confused me talking about a red card and penalty that I didn't see in our game. I genuinely have not idea what he's talking about but it's hard to see in the lower North [Post edited 17 Jan 20:29]

The point that Cheltenham is rightly making is that if there was VAR we have no idea what it would have decided in any of them. It is at least as random as the on-field ref. It may well have taken 10 minutes drawing lines to decide their player was offside. Or it might have decided he went down too easily and two hands in the back isn't enough. It might even have decided the initial contact was outside the box and given a free kick and a red card. We only know it wouldn't simply give the obvious right decision (which was a penalty).
It might also have decided that Cantwell initiated the contact on Furlong and his elbow swing was totally natural. It might well have found another foul by a Blackburn player was slightly above the ankle and given a red card for it. It certainly should have given a penalty for the foul on Azon but I have no confidence it would have done.
I can understand Ismael's frustration but the call for VAR can only come from someone who hasn't experienced its horror first hand. |  |

A case in point is VAR's failure to deal with Dalot's foul today. How was that not reviewed for a red card? | |

Fair enough, I was just stating that from where I sat I didn't even realise anything was up for debate | | | |

Thought Cashin put in a dangerous one on Clarke which could have got him a red in the prem. |  |
