Also crazy how it's based on a clubs league status. So if it was at a side like Bournemouth we'd have VAR, but at a huge stadium like Leeds, Villa or Sunderland we wouldn't just because they're not in the top flight. Pathetic.
So what was the reason for no VAR at Swansea? they bloody well had it last season when Son scored and it was disallowed!
Beginning to despise the Manc bar stewards like I used to despise Utd under Ferguson.
(and thats before we play them 3 times in 12 days. Sigh!)
The official reason is The FA dont want it at non Prem grounds
It was used at Burton for Carabao Cup as thats a Football League competition and it was there decision to allow it at Burton and paid for a trial in a league game beforehand and The FA were not wiling to pay for that for Swansea apparently
Over the past couple of seasons i don't think Wolves have bought a single bad foreign player. Jimenez, Neves, Moutinho, Jota, Boly, every single one has done well.
FWIW I think it’s a yellow. Just don’t agree with every debatable decision being overturned. Diminishes the refs authority
What the ref should have done was gone straight to VAR to ask if it was a red card... He made a prat of himself to the fans by having to change it
Although had a lot of respect for him and the players how they stood around discussing it with him im a civilised manner rather than shouting and pointing everywhere
Knew that yellow cards were now competition specific so accumulated yellows in the league you can’t miss a cup game (as per Taylor early in the season)
but didn’t realise that FA Cup games now had a totting up process too. 2 yellows up to and including the quarters and you miss the next game.
Young banned tonight, Rashford and Matic would have missed the Semi

Didnt realise either till it was mentioned when Rashford got booked - think its a good system though
If I'd known Utd were going out I'd have wanted Swansea to hang on. No chance of Millwall winning two games against superior opposition at Wembley, so I'm feeling quite relaxed now.
Having both Manchester clubs would have setup two excellent Semi-Finals and Final... as it is you have to struggle to see past City now; just hope its either Brighton or Wolves that meet them

It was used for the 2nd Leg in Burton in League Cup so thats not an excuse

Cue phone in radio shows tonight full of moaning moan utd saying Ole isn't the man to take them forward.
so surely if it’s debatable 1 way or the other the referees original decision should stand
The problem I have is the fact that this game has VAR; Swansea game didnt = Not a level playing field
