Emery was going barmy at the end about the Teilamens pen, Johnson two arms round him . The part that angers, is VAR checked the Johnson pen, but never even looked at ours . How many times are these idiots, going to be allowed to stuff us . UTV

I share your general frustration but I think part of the problem is communication. As things stand, fans are reliant on either stadium screens (or commentators if watching on tv) to pass on the message that an incident is being checked. Commentators don't always relay everything that is being checked and I suspect that in-stadium updates are only announced for 'ongoing' checks.but in reality there are probably more checks than we realise.

Definitely room to improve the process and comms to fans.
As a side note, one thing I've noticed a lot of in recent weeks that VAR haven't picked up on is keepers launching throws from the edge of their box and clearly handling it outside the box.it happened against Chelsea in the 50 something minute.mind boggling how VAR can miss them, some of them.
