Video assistant referee technology only in use from the fifth round onwards this season .

There have been a number of controversial incidents in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday .

Some liked VAR 's absence, such as Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler , whose side might have had their winner against Chelsea disallowed for a Tariq Lamptey handball.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca said: "I think the handball is quite clear. This season we saw so many handballs and the VAR was not there".

Leicester were knocked out of the FA Cup because of not having VAR in use.

Only thing that should be at every ground is goalline technology.

Only two handballs in the build-up to Brighton goal, no problem.

Officials have become too reliant on handballs and offsides given with VAR .
