just shows how shit that ref is that he gave a yellow. He’s the last man. It has to be a red?
The referees no longer taking the responsibility now. They will be so glad they can run to the screen thinking, thank fuck I can take breather and put on an act and just decide to what the replays show.

Right decision. How did Tierney not give red in the first place?

The standard of English refereeing is abysmal, and Tierney Is very much on the lower end of the scale as far as English refs are concerned.

So here's the thing about VAR, like you said the ref's no longer need to take responsibility knowing that now they have the technology to fall back on so they can make half arsed decision like this one knowing that they can always overturn it on replay. But I feel that if you are a weak ref you're going to rely on the technology way too much and not your instinct.

VAR isn't doing anything other than highlighting how bad referee's are, if you're weak minded and genuinely swayed then you're likely to become autonomous and allow the technology to manage big decisions and it's just gonna get worse.

I don't think he needed to do it.

I’d like to see the goalies starting position and whether he could of been quicker off his line. Actually just saw it, the keeper could of done better. He looked scared of getting clattered.
