Blatant red card for the Fulham keeper handball outside the box not punished **** ref even ****ter VAR
from the BBC 67 mins Post update Fulham 0-2 Burnley Alphonse Areola is very lucky. He comes steaming out of his area and bumps into Matej Vydra. The ball may well have come off the goalkeeper's arm when he's outside the box as Vydra attempted to go around him. If it did, Areola could've been sent off. No excitement from VAR and the Fulham goalkeeper may well have just got away with that one.

We need competent referees who know what their job as the VAR official is. They aren't there just to back up their friend on the field. Matt: I didn't know goalkeepers could handle the ball outside of the box now? Shocking VAR, yet again. Kevin Taylor: Can anyone explain to me how that isn’t a handball outside the box by the keeper? Unbelievable that nothing is given there.
It just goes to show that VAR can be and is manipulated to suit the Ref and Premier League from the BBC 80 mins Post update Fulham 0-2 Burnley Seeing that Areola incident with Vydra again, the ball clearly comes off the goalkeeper's arm. The goalkeeper is out of the penalty area. Yet stays on. Truly baffling. We'll add that to the long list of dubious VAR decisions.
There must be thousands of ex-pro's available to do the job. Why is it done by some faceless bureaucrat twat?
