Ally McCoist brutally shut down Piers Morgan's argument as the TalkTV host went on a furious rant about the latest controversial VAR decision.<\/p>\n

Newcastle beat Arsenal at St James' Park thanks to a strike from Anthony Gordon. However, before the goal was awarded there were three separate VAR checks – with all being dismissed due to lack of substantial evidence.<\/p>\n

And Arsenal fans have been furious about the decision, including Morgan – who launched into a rant on talkSPORT. He said: "Three different times VAR should have said this is probably not a goal, four if you include the handball that we later established probably happened. <\/p>\n

"The ball clearly went out, the foul was clearly a foul, he put both hands on the back of Gabriel and knocked him over. Clearly he was offside, clearly you can see the handball as well. <\/p>\n

"There are four different reasons why that goal shouldn't stand! VAR is a stupid system and none of it gets given."<\/p>\n

Glasgow Rangers and Scotland legend McCoist replied: "Piers, I'm going to say to you, your verdict on VAR is driving me crazy! However, I think the key words are clear and obvious, now I don't think any of them – and I genuinely believe it – are clear and obvious."<\/p>\n

Arsenal were left livid with the decision, and the club went as far as to release a statement on Sunday. "Arsenal Football Club wholeheartedly supports Mikel Arteta\u2019s post-match comments after yet more unacceptable refereeing and VAR errors on Saturday evening," it read.<\/p>\n

"We support the ongoing efforts of Chief Refereeing Officer, Howard Webb and would welcome working together to achieve the world-class officiating standards our league demands."<\/p>\n
