Alan Pardew could not help but laugh after listening to David Moyes questioned on the controversial VAR call as West Ham were denied a winner against Aston Villa.
Tomas Soucek thought he had won the game late on after converting James Ward-Prowse’s delivery, but it was ruled out for handball after a lengthy VAR check.
A clearly angry Moyes held back from hitting out at the officials at risk of being fined, despite being constantly asked about the decision in his post-match interviews.
Speaking on talkSPORT [17 March, 8:10pm], former United boss Pardew said: “David’s frustrated and you can tell that in his voice. He’s so close to a fantastic victory there.
“For us, we know supporters in the stadium are not getting any feedback. Six minutes? What’s going on? Fans are scratching their heads. It’s ridiculous.
“The process is wrong. Simple. Get back to the process that works. There’s this weird thing in stadiums where they go to VAR, the crowd know the answer because you hear a roar – it’s just wrong. A lot needs to be fixed, let’s be honest.”
Asked about West Ham and their aims for the rest of the season, Pardew added: “West Ham are seventh at the moment and pushing for European football again through the league.
