‘Does he impression on a defender? I feel the VAR seems at it and he’s behind it, so it’s troublesome. He judges it as not a foul, which is a subjective factor.

‘If that they had drawn the line by means of his body,& Estupinan would’ve been onside and the aim is given.

‘It’s one it's a must to ask for forgiveness for. It’s human error made by VAR.’

‘If it doesn’t stop at D, you must go on. So long as it takes, sorry Lee, however you’ve received to do it. Not simply Lee, however everyone within the VAR room.&
