Thought the officials in general had a terrible game overall.

Only right thing was the game being halted due to the lightning

The officials on the pitch did not make the decisions that changed the game or do you mean there were other decisions that the officials messed up because I can't remember there being anything of note.

Roger uefa confirmed today that the penalty was given because their technology "snickometer " showed ball touched his hand and that is a penalty regardless of how close he was or where is hand was? or putting it another way technology gave penalty not referee ... soon have games refereed from a sofa in the stands...... a total fck up with rules by ifab and uefa....

It’s not VAR that’s the issue, it’s the ridiculous handball and minute offside rules brought into the game.

I've always said var would be fine if the offside rule was daylight between players. As for handball when clearly not intentional and in a lot of cases unavoidable I'd say leave it to referee on the field some you get some you don't.

I hope VAR will come back to bite every premier club on the arse, who voted to keep VAR except Wolves who wanted it abolished!
It is ruining the game

Yet the Premier league had the chance to get rid and they bottled it

System they're using is coming in during season so whilst offside will still be decided by toe as seen ladt night decision will ge quicker.... as for handball uefa decree common sense is abolished only time its not a penalty is if it comes off players body before hitting arm other than that penalty is always given ... last night's wouldn't be given in England but that will end next season.

I felt he had a bad game all over.

The first Germany goal for example.

Clearly I'm not going to list all, hell I don't even remember most of them. I do remember thinking what a bad showing from the officials though
