Good old Raffa VAR would have had his centre half sent off earlier for a blatant push on Traore., that he conveniently forgot to mention.

My biggest issue with Rafas VAR side show (and it was a side show cause like Jose he will do ANYTHING to deflect from a bad result) was that his understanding of VAR is fundamentally WRONG! Every convo on VAR says that the ref would ONLY look at major incidents and how that played out with Boly CLEARLY showed the 'incident' wouldn't have been major! Ironically like you say it could have been the case on the BLATANT foul against Traore only because the ball went out soon after. But when watched back its clear that the ref would have NEVER called for VAR on Boly as he clearly NEVER saw anything which is why he waved play on!

I also HATE how managers like Rafa talk about 'needing' VAR like it was the refs that opted out! No Rafa it was other managers in your league that killed it and NO one else! Incidentally it was mostly the top four that voted it down, anyone who was at the Chelsea game will know exactly why that happened! COYW ;)
