Just watched the video clip, and those exact plays seemed so obvious during the game, and when nothing was called I assumed VAR would still review and correct if warranted, but after watching Borg’s video, and hearing his commentary, we got screwed out of 2 additional PKs. The problem is that until the wronged owners make a stink about it, nothing will change, because a league analyst has zero clout calling out PRO.It’s a disaster. It was supposed to maximize consistency and accuracy through technology. Instead the erratic manner by which it is used and then ignored has made the officiating even more inconsistent and substantially more unfair. For example, leg one it was used and changed our season. Leg two it was ignored when it would have changed our season.
As a side note, anybody see that the Bundesliga VAR Head got canned for fixing/manipulating the reviews? The tin foil hat regarding our lack of obvious PK calls is a lot less crazy if a top5 League has problems with their head official influencing calls/no calls.
