Point is really that without VAR it wouldn’t have been notice or given and

Nobody would have been screaming about it. Everyone wood be talking about a great bit of goalkeeping.

So I suppose the question is whether you think VAR in this instance has “improved” the game or detracted from it.

        Encroaching is not worth it but not sure I agree they can’t impact. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 2, 09:10:03
