That’s total BS. This seriously needs sorting out, it’s farcical.

Yeah they really need to sort out VAR, thats a really strange decision there.
It comes back to the clear and obvious thing - there was enough doubt that it didn't hit his arm to allow the goal to stand. The big screen thing I assume was just a technical **** up.
Handball doesn’t fit into clear and obvious does it? Supposed to be black and white, it’s either handball or it isn’t.
Interesting City team, forget the lack of centre halves I’m more amazed Gundogan keeps getting a game.

They have to be certain that he's handballed it though. If they decide he has then it's automatically ruled out.
Well yeah that goes without saying. If they can’t decide if it hits his hand they can’t disallow it. Radio said chest.
There's been clear incidents of handball inside the area though where VAR has just ignored it, one of major problems is in selection of what to review. If they give teams reviews like in cricket if something is not reviewed then at least you can just blame the team for their own loss, rather than some bloke in a room who could be bent.
This new handball law only applies to when goals are scored though and they're automatically reviewed anyway. In this instance VAR just decided there wasn't clear enough evidence that it's hit his arm - had they been satisfied that it definitely did then the goal would have been ruled out.
I'm not sure this thing about what gets reviewed is an issue either. VAR only looks at goals, pens and red cards - has there been any instances where something hasn't been reviewed that should have? The only issues I'm seeing is that things are being reviewed but not overturned.

Pep seriously needs to stop copying Farke.
Norwich beat Man City with one DM playing at centre half so in his next game Pep plays Fernandinho at CB. Today our only fit CB went off injured so we ended up playing two DM's as CB's, and guess what Pep does? Plays Rodri alongside Fernandinho at CB. The bloke is a fraud.

How was that not a Burnley goal. He tripped himself up. Biased VAR refs
