Like it.

That today was very harsh on Bournemouth. Surprised it was given. Especially after Ben Mees last week.

Doubt he’d have changed that if it was the opposite way around I.e.the home side.

the one that Cook handled in the first half was a stone wall handball and yet it wasn't given. We were on the right side of some incredibly poor decisions today imho

Correct decisions all round for me. It was 100% a penalty to us and defo handball from billing. You could also argue we should have another penalty for the handball swipe in the first half

I can understand Bournemouth being angry at the decision but play was carried on and they managed to score from it. Had the handball decision not been given, they would have been given the goal. Had they stopped play to check the handball and it was deemed not handball they would have been fuming that they were not given the opportunity to attack. Correct decision to do it this way in my opinion. It gave the officials the opportunity to give the decision for the penalty to Burnley or the goal to Bournemouth.

The penalty that we were given and scored looked to have come off the shoulder, so we got fortunate there.

Thought hand ball in first was deliberate by Cook and a sure pen as was the Smith handball in second. However I thought Kings goal should have counted. No way it was deliberate handball by Billing.

It’s a good point well made. That said imagine it was Leeds or Blackburn we were playing. Imagine the outcome.

Two appalling VAR decisions today may cost our club Premier League status, not on its own perhaps, but if we were to finish a couple of points inside the relegation zone I would look back at this match.

I am so angry, I could rant for hours.

What has happened to the beautiful game?

VAR has destroyed football as I know it, and I don't want to watch it in this form any longer.
I will not mourn any relegation, indeed it will be a relief to get back to the game we know.

Damn fine first half performance. Shocking decision to deny us the goal.
It's clearly hit Billings shoulder.

However we should still have been a couple up.

Ten our equaliser, pulled back for a ball that hits Smith on the top of his arm...just too depressing for words.

If we played with 11 quadruple amputees today and nicked a goal, some f***ers nasal hair would have been offside.

I can certainly sympathise with Bournemouth - wouldn’t have been happy if it had happened to us. Equally, I’d be pretty upset if we’d have found ourselves at 1-1 having had a stonewall penalty turned down. I thought it was handball real time, and I thought it was handball when I saw the replay on the big screen. Ultimately, the right decision was made, but they could have checked it and stopped play before Bournemouth put the ball in the net.

I would be furious if it was the other way round, the first goal dissalowed looked insanely harsh, can anyone be certain it even touched a hand/arm? For the penalty at first I thought it was handball but it seems to of hit his shoulder, that isn't handball is it, and if it is, then it is hardly clear and obvious which is the case for the defending team regarding handballs being overturned!

But.. I will take it off the soft southern sods :D

A lot of fans don't appreciate that though. I've read Bmouth fans just lambasting us as a team and the town, even though they WILL have had plenty of decisions go their way, when it shouldn't have.

I hate VAR with a passion and I wish it wasn’t here. Today we benefitted, next week we might not but that’s the way it is. I would much rather the ref cocked up and we had someone to rant at, but that’s not the way it is any more. Having seen the blatant leg stamp in the Spurs game and the obvious punch to the throat in the City game being ignored, I would say that VAR isn’t fit for purpose but I don’t make the rules. C’est la vie.

VAR is terrible, absolutely terrible.

I have not seen the incidents back but for the first disallowed goal if the ball hit Billing’s arm then it was of course the correct decision to disallow the goal. The problem is how do we define where the shoulder stops and the arm begins?

The second disallowed goal was 100% the correct decision. I don’t even know how anyone can contest this although I’ve heard both Keown and Sutton do just that. It was clear as day in real time hence the appeals from players and fans alike. The fact that Bournemouth played on and scored a goal is irrelevant. Of course it’s a bit of tough luck for Bournemouth but had the assistant referee made the right call in the first place there would have been no drama.

I do suspect that had Bournemouth not scored the incident wouldn’t have been reviewed at all though.

In the first half when the Bournemouth player pinged it onto his own arm wasn’t a pen. It clearly wasn’t intentional. The one for the Pen was a pen on my opinion. The only way he could keep the ball in play was to use his arm. Intentional or not he used his arm to keep it in play and they went and scored. Had to reverse the decision

VAR worked in our favour somewhat today. It's a lot better for our points total than when there was no VAR and we had plenty of solid pens not given for us and dodgy goals given against us (thinking Arsenal especially here). Not sure it's good for the game overall in its current implementation but it's working for us IMO.

I suspect MotD talk tonight will be more about VAR controversy rather than "Burnley get 13 points from 5 games" great run. We'll see though and, whatever the pundits say, it wont alter our points total.

The worst VAR decision today wasn't in the Burnley game, it was in the Chelsea game. Clear and obvious stamp by a Spurs player is reviewed by VAR and declared not to be a red card. Later, Stockley Park admitted they got it wrong and the Spurs player should have gone.

What the F*** is going on?

Scrap VAR before next season.

All teams have had decisions "for" and "against".

I haven't seen any film of the incidents but don't really care. We won they lost and there you go.

They are rough calls no doubt, but the 2nd looked a definite pen (not seen it back yet) - the ball is going out for a corner and he keeps it in with his arm. Then they punch it clear whilst pretty much 2/3 of our team are looking at the ref and claiming for the pen.

But overall? They created chuff all for all tbeir pretty triangles and the right team won. They can't argue with that. We should really have been out of sight before they equalised

We benefited massively today by VAR but my hatred of it has increased to new heights. In theory video technology works but in practice, but they way they are trying to use it, it never will.

The premier league are that arrogant in how they have tried to implement it its not wonder it’s been a massive mess.

VAR worked well during the World Cup. Yes, there were a few incidents, but nothing like the controversy we’ve seen this season.

I don’t think the Premier League, and it’s biggest members, ever wanted VAR - they were dragged kicking and screaming into it. As the seasons gone on, I’ve become increasingly convinced that the Premier League is trying to trash it. The way it’s been implemented, the rank irrational decisions, the refusal to allow refs to use pitch side monitors, it all seems designed to whip up the kind of fury we’re now seeing.

The World Cup demonstrated that VAR can improve decision making outcomes - why hasnt the PL implemented it in the same way. The problem is with then, not VAR itself.

VAR can only overrule decisions if they are CLEAR and OBVIOUS apparently, but they are currently overruling correct decisions.

Burnley were the better team over the course of 90 minutes today (especially second half), but Bournemouth were robbed by VAR.

As I understand the handball rule this season if the ball hits the hand or arm - intentional or not - and it leads to a goal then the goal has to be ruled out and a free-kick given where the incident took place. So as I see it Mike Dean might not have adjudged it to be deliberate handball and didn't give a penalty, and had the ball then gone out of play VAR might have stuck with Dean's decision,(no penalty) but since the handball led directly to a goal then once the VAR check confirmed that it was handball then there was no option but to bring play back to where the infringement took place. On this occasion - unfortunately for Bournemouth it was in their own box, but there was no decision for VAR to make: it was a handball and it led to them scoring a goal The VAR ref didn't have any discretion in the matter.

So in essence they’d have been better off missing than scoring?

You think that VAR was crazy at Turf Moor? Watch Garth Crooks tear Michael Oliver apart over the Chelsea Spurs incident.

It’s stretching it a bit to say that that hand ball led to the goal.

How is it a stretch?

The handball kept the ball in play/prevented it from Jeff reaching it with 4 passes & 15seconds later it was in the back of our net

When they introduced this new law about accidental hand ball being classed as an offence if it leads to a goal I’m sure they just had in mind the situation where an attacker handles it immediately before the goal, not in his own flamin’ penalty area! That’s just ridiculous and leads to farcical situations

Thought hand ball in first was deliberate by Cook and a sure pen as was the Smith handball in second. However I thought Kings goal should have counted. No way it was deliberate handball by Billing.
New rule it doesnt have to be deliberate.
If it touches hand/arm of any attacker in the buildup to a goal its dissallowed
