Will VAR Change Football for the Better?
Discussion

Another shocker of a decision in the Everton game, although it seemed to galvanise them. Never a red card in a million years, even more bizarre when you look at what Havertz got away with last week bs Newcastle.
Borderline red, but as per earlier discussion, certainly not clear and obvious. I thought they were checking for the push on Gordon, which I did feel merited a pen, but I only saw it once, so could be persuaded otherwise.

Mike Dean says fans should be able to listen to referees and VARs debating decisions and thinks the change will come in the near future.
About time, and interesting that he's made the statement after reffing his last game.
Like in other grown up sports? They'll be showing replays in the stadium next....About time, and interesting that he's made the statement after reffing his last game.
Pulling a player's hair is not considered an offence in football's rules (but pulling a player's shirt is).
VAR official Mike Dean took a look at the incident and decided it was not a red card offence, nor a free-kick to Chelsea.
The rule was applied (or there was no rule there to be applied in this case).
Seems a bit of an odd one which now means players could exploit this non rule, no? I wonder how long that will go on for...

There are different circumstances when a player must be cautioned for unsporting behaviour, e.g. if a player:
holds an opponent for the tactical purpose of pulling the opponent away from the ball or preventing the opponent from getting to the ball
It's a shame Sky Sports don't clip up "ref watch" (on a regular basis) for YouTube consumption
They do have a couple of clips on their website

I think the yellow card for the West Ham penalty was incorrect - deliberate handball preventing a goalscoring chance = red.
Yes the keeper *may* have got it but that's irrelevant to the context of denying an opportunity.

Yes it is, violent conduct, straight red. Glassman said:

He was wrong not to give a red card. Having not given the red card, because a goal wasn't scored (the goal came from the following corner) he couldn't give a free kick, because VAR only rules on free kicks when that move led directly to a goal. It was 2 huge errors, one from Taylor for not giving the straight red, as he was looking straight at it, and one from Dean for not saying it was a red.
