This is why VAR is so ****, when you've got 3-4 players running up to the referee absolutely convinced that it crossed the line just review the damn thing.

Given where the hawkeye cameras are located in the stadiums, I think the combination of him smothering the ball and the player stood close by in front has prevented the system maintaining tracking on the ball

That is shocking! I mean even if the goal line technology is having an extended holiday, how on earth does VAR not step in? Clear and obvious error - doesn't get any clearer!

Even the pic above doesn't do it justice - the keeper actually held the ball against the back of the post!!!! :eek:

No excuse for VAR though, it was brought in to stop mistakes from happening and they're still here.
