We never get in too deep on defending or attacking refereeing decisions – when it’s your own club, it always comes off as sour grapes, no matter how justified it is.

In this case it’s Jeff Stelling, who isn’t know for being exceptionally kind to the Blues. He pointed to Jack Grealish’s handball from Saturday as yet another scandalous VAR call.

“How did they get away with the non-decision for the Grealish handball? What was the VAR doing? Was he in the queue for a burger? It’s just crazy.”

Ally McCoist agreed. “That was the sort of decision VAR was supposed to be there to help with,” he pointed out.
