And further below in that twitter thread is the plus/minus:

Plenty of comments in the 8th place thread about what ifs from the Brighton and Man Utd away games & this does give some weight to those comments - but it shows us as the most hard done to team this year...

 

The Brighton match, especially, was concerning given that a rule was applied only in that match. I'm not sure how many (if any) goals were ruled out by VAR last season through obstruction of the Goalkeepers sight line. Something was not right.

We had one in our favour at Norwich away

Exactly, so why were the two at Brighton ruled out? More importantly, why was that rule only applied in that match?

We have been proper shafted this season. Hopefully it will turn around next season. That Brighton game still makes my piss boil.

They wanted us to finish 10th instead of 8th. We showed them though!

It was the defending of the decisions by Dermot Gallagher on Ref Watch, or whatever it's called, on Sky that boiled mine. I know that he's got previous for being an ignoramus but even so. Subscription cancelled.

West Ham got robbed by VAR and my new hate Chelsea yet again escaped.

 

Similar to Barnes’ disallowed goal.

West Ham did get robbed but they also massively got away with it in the week. The most blatant could throw for their goal. And bearing in mind that happens from a stationary position, there's no excuse for that no being pulled up during play, let alone on VAR.

 

Makes them even on VAR. Point gained, point lost.

Are we just getting poor officials on the pitch who are involved in VAR now telling younger refs to change their mind and probably spooking them into thinking they have made  an error ?

 

Can be no surprise the best ref in the league was the one who stuck to his original view whilst everyone else was make a right mess of things .

 

I have always thought it’s very subjective and really you are just at the mercy of a couple of blokes who have very different views on an incident .

Can VAR rule on foul throws ?

But if we’re going on the ‘it all evens itself out’ angle then scrap var (away from auto offsides - which are coming)  because the benefits aren’t there.

And that’s it in a nutshell - the one thing that var is not supposed to be is subjective - it’s garbage. Scrap it until they find a way to make it purely objective

Don't know and there's another problem with it, how does it apply? Foul throw to the assister, who passed it on and the ball is in the back of the net with the next touch. It's so close to the goal being scored it's not like you can say it happened 30 seconds ago.

 

Gutted that Chelsea didn't lose though

Handball is a particular lottery which VAR has not improved as we still get debatable decisions all the time .

One of the most disgusting decisions I’ve ever seen. Absolute disgrace.

I just think that giving the on field ref more control is a possible answer. If they didn’t see something clearly (and neither did their assistants) then they can review it. No need for a var to be involved other than to reply to a question from the ref ‘do I need to check that’ as opposed to the var suggesting that they do. let the ref be the ref.

That was nothing compared to the fist to the face Nacho took in that game.  

What was staggering was the panel agreeing with the decision after the match with the defense du Bruyne has a right to protect his face, I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and it cost us
