Sickening to lose on penalties. Horrible feeling.

@Arsenal & @m8arteta you’ve been fantastic this season.

Congrats once again @PSG_English

[Michael Ball @bally03]

We all knew that at the time, besides the officials which is very concerning!

Unfortunately no accountability will happen.

Every VAR decision is important.

I hate the tag line: Because of the magnitude of the game we need time to get the decision right. 😡
VAR = 💩 🗑️ it

[Match of the Day @BBCMOTD]

There were found to be more VAR errors in the Premier League in the recent review.

In gameweek 35 there were three VAR errors and one on-field error that didn't meet the VAR threshold.

[Everton @Everton]

🎶 60 grand, 60 grand Seamus Coleman... 🎶

[Michael Ball @bally03]

Looks like Scotland VAR officials want to double down over the Englands @FA_PGMOL 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Christopher Beesley @CBeesleyEcho]

This audio is utterly damning and shows why VAR is no good - even with the technology in front of you.

A clearcut decision that most of the world - including these officials’ boss - saw as a penalty but one seemed adamant from the start not to give it.

@CraigHewitt1976 @LivEchoEFC Sunderland & Chelsea finishes were bit special.

[Michael Ball @bally03]

@CraigHewitt1976 @LivEchoEFC Yes, we’ve witnessed his misses.

The debate in the column is why?

I feel he wastes too much energy in the wrong areas and shows lack of composure & conviction in the final moments due to fatigue.

[Michael Ball @bally03]

Why didn’t Mic’d up @FA_PGMOL show the audio of the holding in the penalty area during the EFC v City match?

Is it b’cos it’ll show VAR officials state the ball wasn’t in play during the hold? Dermot Gallagher has already stated the video evidence shows it was in play. 😡

[Michael Ball @bally03]

@Phill71390Alec @LivEchoEFC Yes, but why?

[Michael Ball @bally03]

🔵 Issues need to be solved.

⚪️ Final third moments.

🔵 Final home game.

@DaviesDarren Oh I agree, it’s happened a lot this season especially in the last derby.

[Michael Ball @bally03]

🔵 Frustration continues

⚪️ Winning mentality

🔵 VAR inconsistencies

[Michael Ball @bally03]

@teadrinker68 @LivEchoEFC We have improved . But we’ve also missed a huge opportunity this season which is massively frustrating.

[Michael Ball @bally03]

@DaviesDarren I agree. But like City game two subs that came on - One slipped & one made a bad decision on the break & also decided not close down the equaliser.

Sure they needed more minutes by Moyes but equally not many have took their opportunities this season. Cup games proves that.
