Probably but why would they when they can put it all on VAR rather than getting blamed. I've not seen either decisions in the blades game but any handball resulting in a penalty is ridiculous.

Same as sin bins for that matter.

It was never intended that the off-side ruling be an art form, just the honest opinion of two match officials. The eternity that a VAR decision can take shows that it isn’t definitive, and in many cases correct. I fear that it, or something similar, is hear to stay, thus diminishing what is left of trust in the match officials.

Totally agree. IF, and it's a BIG if,  VAR is called on, the match Referee and ONLY the match Referee, should look at the pitch side monitor, in real speed, from all available angles, ONCE, and make their decision immediately. If they need multiple viewings, they didn't make a 'clear and obvious mistake' in the first place. Should take 20 seconds from the Video rolling and the Ref making a decision.

I’d go along with most of that but for me you also have to look at if the offender got a definite advantage from the hand ball. The Luton one looked harsh yesterday. Didn’t see the united one but it sounded similar.

You didn't see it you say,

Well how come you Kpnuts2 posted about it during the match saying what you thought a about it?.

Tut tut.
