VAR and Referees. Stupid decisions (alien.top)

Football is finished! I love watching football, it’s my passion (as well as playing but age means I can’t as much nowadays). I watch about 7/8 games at the weekend, mostly premier league but also LaLiga, Serie A and Bundesliga. Then during the week I watch the European cup and Europa league. But the refs and the ridiculous rules are ruining the game. Last night in the Fulham game and tonight watching Newcastle vs PSG the refs and VAR have given the stupidest penalty decisions. I’m really starting to lose my love for the game. I don’t care who won or drew the game but the integrity of the game has gone. I hate it and it’s just been getting worse season after season. This is probably more of a rant but I just feel let down by the game I love to watch

In premier league it wouldnt be a pen but according to UEFA rule, so champions league, its a pen, also psg should have had a pen in the game not that one anyways

Man United had a very similar one last year where it bounced of Martinez's thigh and hit his hand. We had two handball penalties in our last Champions league match, after the match some fans got talking to the ref and he told them that they wouldn't have been penalties in the premier League but are under UEFA rules they are.

It's a shit rule not shit refereeing.
