Sunderland/Luton down to 8 men by half time in that case.
Maybe if he is ragged down in the box, but anywhere else in the pitch it be nothing as not a clear and obvious error or red card offence.

Good if it is.
Gus corners usually get nullified by defender shirt pulling.
Totally different story with VAR.

Except it won’t be. Else we would be seeing 20 pens per week for this in the Premier League
That is nonsense. Nothing gets given in the prem for that sort of thing

My view is that there is a deal less of it in the Prem games I watch.
Yes, there are some VAR inconsistencies about it but the amount that goes on now in the EFL is huge and increasing. It needs sorting somehow.
Just my observation about shirt pulling - I think that some of the more blatant stuff we see will be reduced if a defender knows that a VAR might (and I use the word “might”) give a pen.
As an aside, the handball shout we had yesterday might well have been given to us under VAR.

I hope it isn't used in the semis or final

The commentator on the extended highlights seemed to suggest it was a handball.

Would be incredibly harsh. Ball hits his arm no question but arms by his side, through a mass of bodies etc. It's a no from me. VAR certainly wouldn't overturn the on field decision either way.

One highlites clip and I can't find it again showed it as a clear hand ball.

I think Kelly got one given against him (hit him in the shoulder) at point blank range earlier in the half. The ref seemed to think it hit the boro lad in the guts which it could well have looked like from his angle in real time.

Shouldn't be bit is. I guess there is more jeopardy on the decision which plays a part (although I think the ref genuinely didn't think it hit the blokes arm).
IF there was VAR he may have been asked to look at the monitor for that reason... it falls in to the category of "you've seen them given" certainly not cut and dried, it does look like his arm is sticking out a bit but harsh I'd think. It's definitely not clear and obvious IMO
