No PGMOL apology yet?

Yes, yes - but just look at the rain on that clip! It was raining you know!

Surely the club should be asking for it to be at least looked at?

I fully agree with you. I was answering the question that was asked: Was this actually reviewed by VAR? If so how is jumping into an opponent leading with your elbow into their face not even deemed a foul? And I was pointing out that VAR wouldn't alert the ref to something if they considered...

Their manager (BBC interview): hasn't seen it yet, he's not that type of player, it was raining a lot, and he saw blood on the face of his player in the second half which must have been an elbow but no-one is talking about that..

Not in my view, it's not. Just chatting about how VAR works!

The thing is - we don't know what the conversations were (if any) - unless they are released. If the ref missed it altogether - then VAR cannot tell the ref to give a free-kick, or a yellow card. If the ref saw it and thought it was okay - VAR can only intervene if they think it was a 'clear...

Not a foul according to the ref - we didn't get a free kick for it.

More than 'enough'.
