Whether you like it or loathe it, VAR is here to stay and all its outcomes will continue to have massive consequences on important games. The more contentious decisions usually get wall to wall coverage due to the TV exposure, but there will be many reading this article who haven't actually seen the VAR decision that allowed the hosts 95th minute goal to stand when it looked very much as if it was offside, this is because the Broadcasters elected NOT to show the game live in the UK meaning the only live viewers were 'pirates'!

It is unfair to single out one player for criticism following Hammers excrutiating last 30 seconds of injury time defeat at Old Trafford, but as is the way of fans who have just seen their team have a valuable point snatched away, many are blaming Ryan Fredericks for Hammers leaving without a point having kept the home team at bay for the entire game until he replaced Vladimir Coufal at rightback.
