At the very least, based on the mixed reactions to these tackles, VAR should not be jumping in saying they are clear and obvious errors because there is clearly nowhere near a consensus on what the calls should be.

I think we have to bring in almost a 'hockey' element to it.
Jones made a physical tackle to win a ball.
I'm not familiar with the Kovacic or Romero ones so I wont comment.
Rashford was just shielding the ball that he already had in his possession and the opposing player made an attempt at a tackle and Rashford stepped on him.
I'm sorry, I view that as the fault of the other player. He went for it and he had a right to go for it, but if you do there could be consequences. Rashford doesnt appear to actively do anything wrong or dangerous.
Its just one of those plays.
Also the Pen for the handball on Maguire? Look, I love to take any opportunity to slag on Maguire but that was an absolute joke of a call.
