Unbelievable Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The VAR looks at everything. How he decides not to refer that back to the ref is anyone’s guess. Really? Whoever took that decision is not fit for purpose, quite simply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 And to think Iceland got a penalty after VAR consultation that was never ever one Iceland was definitely a pen today Not for me. A mistimed shielding of the ball. Soft as owt and that's before you get into the comparison with this howler just here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 First time so far this WC I’ve been genuinely angry at VAR. Not because VAR is bad, but because how the f*** isn’t it used for something like that when you have VAR. Given how many blatant holding pens they haven’t given they must be under instruction not to give them on VAR. Has to be something like that. Don’t understand why though, and they should be more open anout what they don’t use VAR for if so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You give a pen for things like that you may as well give five each way every game. The issue is it's now apparently up to whoever looks at monitors to decide the outcome of games at the highest level, it's completely ridiculous.

Kaizero Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I know people say this stuff all the time, but I can't remember a more blatant penalty go unpunished. Honestly one of the clearest, if not the clearest penalty this WC. Two men wrestling a guy down. A blind guy could call that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizza Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Has to be an ego thing with the ref there. Aye, think some of them refuse to have their decisions challenged. Needs sorting somehow if VAR is going to work properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I love VAR and hate VAR so much. Confused. It's fucking shite. Its fans moaned about people not wanting to remove the talking points and human error from officiating decisions (like robotic perfection is somehow desirable) and yet this is miles worse. Don't give me that shit about how it will get better either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give me that shit about how it will get better either. Agreed. It's bad enough a referee making a mistake in the heat of the moment without the benefit of replays from 20 different angles, but this is ten times worse. I understand there will always be contentious decisions that could go either way, but not something like this. Simply unacceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand there will always be contentious decisions that could go either way, but not something like this. Simply unacceptable. There’s been around two-three contentious decisions so far this WC. That’s almost infinitely better than usual. However, I agree the errors are much more unforgivable than usual due to the nature of VAR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
