He deserved his red and the outcry about VAR only came because Bobo escaped earlier in the game - but using it for Muscat was spot on.
Hold up hold up.

Don’t we still have ‘passive’ offside?
Am sure Sydney got away with 2 passive reviews during the experiment stage of VAR that were anything but black and white.

Again if they make the law black and white I’m happy to use the tech.

As for Muscat, ok so you believe it to be an easy red.

Bobo lifted his leg and attacked a defenceless opponent off the ball. Surely the VAR would apply the same criteria? Nope.

The first Gypo one was worse than the 2nd Gypo one, the santalab one was worse than both (santalab didn’t even get looked at).

Either VAR gets them ALL right (Which it didn’t, and couldn’t) or I’m happy to leave it to the ref.

VAR is just another example of a flawed system in which humans use their judgement. All we are doing is adding another layer of the flaw in the system.

I’m happy without it.
