Re: Match Thread
I don’t usually comment on post mortems but I feel I must after that game. VAR is unfit for purpose. Their handball in the build up to their goal was allowed, where a less obvious hand ball in the build up to ours wasn’t allowed. The red card was marginal; I’ve seen worse ignored in many other games...
