Harry Kane went off injured after running into the post
This could help Arsenal keep the scoreline to a respectable level

VAR used to be about clear and obvious error. With that Fulham goal VAR intervention was on something that clearly wasn't a clear and obvious error.
Did the assistant say "I didn't see that. It could have been offside. Can you check?"
In the Wolves game earlier I thought VAR did well (if they have same pictures we do).
I think inconclusve sums up that situation.
But without high res cameras all around it would be very difficult to call that.
And the stakeholders aren't going to invest bigger sums to assist in reducng debate over a tiny proportion of contentious decsisions.
Debate over unknowns is part of the media's lifeblood.

The 'clear and obvious' thing has only ever been for decisions open to interpretation. Fouls, handballs, etc. Incidents that are factual, like offside, ball over the line etc don't have to be clear and obvious errors.greenmark wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 6:33 pmVAR used to be about clear and obvious error.

Spurs being well and truly turned over by Fulham, very good from Fulham so far.

They'll be OK one game doesn't make a season still fancy them to beat Villa to 4th, 5th place may even get a Champions League place which is yet to play out. Postecoglou isn't going anywhere soon.
I admire your confidence, you may well be right. But a team like Spurs has aspirations. Being wiped out by Fulham (with all due respect to Fulham) is not part of the plan. Villa under Emery are a tough opponent. If United get their act together Spurs would be in their crosshairs. I think this is a big result.Michael5482 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 6:56 pmThey'll be OK one game doesn't make a season still fancy them to beat Villa to 4th, 5th place may even get a Champions League place which is yet to play out.

He twisted his ankle a bit but I think he'll be fine for Arsenal
Would love for him to get the CL trophy this year since he can't get the league
