“It’s Not VAR, It’s Personnel!” Former Ref On Man U vs Man City Mistakes + Is Carrick Good Enough?
VAR is once again at the centre of controversy, after the PGMOL have come out and admitted they mistakenly overturned the offside decision for Erling Haaland’s goal that won them the match 1-0 against Manchester United. In the same game, questions were asked about referee Michael Oliver’s decision to send off Phil Foden for kicking out at Bruno Fernandes but not Fernandes who kicked Foden whilst on the floor.
