Yeah and that’s the factor I think they’ve missed. Like those are the stats for the incidents they’ve selected, but there are other incidents that aren’t included that should be.So, not recommending that Nketiah be sent off for his assault on Vicario early in the season was not an error by VAR?
The Key Match Incident panel are almost as bad as VAR.
They have judged that var didn't get the niketeh one wrong. It's one of the reasons VAR making better decisions stats are bumpf. They mark their own homeworkYeah and that’s the factor I think they’ve missed.

And honestly…we were given two penalties all season while the others in the “big six” had 10-12. It’s completely ridiculous. I do think it doesn’t necessarily even out, and it’s not as though each club should have 10. But there’s something wrong when some clubs are getting 1/2 and others are getting 5 times that.
And, looking at the issues since inception, no wonder Wolves are so upset. The -18 for them is really unbelievable!
IMO the lines aren't fat and blurry enough. If a line can be used to determine that an attacking player's shirt sleeve was perhaps offside then it's a bewilderingly bad usage of the technology that gives everyone false assurances as to the accuracy of the technology.2. Lines drawn (no longer drawn at all now because it looks shit) are too fat and also blurry
I'm only suprised this VAR decision wasn't given against us TBH

Norwegians like to use flying fishcakes to protest against VAR. What would be appropriate missiles at White Hart Lane?

Hmmmm. You'd need smuggle some form of launcher through security. Rubber bands might do the trick.
