Didn't have the sound for the game - do they have the screen at the side of the pitch like they do in the Bundesliga. Find it very odd that Atkinson didn't look at it for our pen - which clearly was a pen. We should be able to hear what the VAR is saying a la cricket and rugby. The secrecy is ridiculous
Nope, no screen or communication relayed to the fans at the match, which is poor and needs to be sorted. I assumed on the telly we were seeing the same replays the 4th official was but maybe not.
This is my issue, I assume our penalty wasn't given as there wasn't enough evidence to overturn it and that decision was made quickly (sticking with the on field decision, if you will), whereas the Chelsea one they seemed to be looking for any way to reverse the decision!
The phrase 'overturning obvious errors' worries me. I am tempted to think they mean that, for instance, the penalty given at West Brom wouldn't be overturned as technically it did hit a hand. This would be pretty farcical and would perhaps have pushed wenger over the edge......
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

That's what happened over here - don't see why it isn't. Really don't get the point of it - the VAR must be reluctant to overturn onfield refs decisions (as they are going to be in that position at other times); onfield ref doesn't get a chance to review the incident. Have no problem with Atkinson not giving the pen last night as he couldn't be 100 per cent certain sure given the pace it happened at but on replay it was surely a pen
