Guest covmag Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Struggling to know why a penalty wasn’t given against Deli Ali ffs, clear hand ball. If they don’t give it for that then they never will give a hand ball again Shocking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 VAR couldn't have made more of a mess of that game if he/it tried. On the main TV game as well, lovely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 VAR couldn't have made more of a mess of that game if he/it tried. On the main TV game as well, lovely. VAR is brilliant actually by the fact everyone knows what is happening/why etc. What makes it so annoying is that the VAR referees get it so wrong. If I hear "but there was contact" again then I feels I may crack up. Of course there is going to be contact, it's a contact sport. Is hugging someone when a corner is delivered not deemed "but there was contact"? The referees are useless. If a player is grabbing someone by the shirt then it's a foul, simple. If a player falls over after both the attacker and defender "come together" then that is blatant cheating. Anyone that thinks Watford deserved a penalty need their head looking at.

Adam Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Surely Son's red card gets overturned as he only clipped him. Did VAR look at the tackle or did the ref just give a red? If VAR didn't look what is the point of it, they have the footage just check if its a red or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_b Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Sky reported that VAR said it was a red because Son clearly endangered an opponent as he broke his leg. Ignoring the fact that is was Aurier that broke his leg and not Son Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Sky footie presenter said the Ref upgraded the card from yellow to red himself after he saw the injury, and the ref looking at VAR didn't overrule that decision. One thing annoying me, wish people would stop blaming VAR, VAR is just video replays, it's the fucking wingnut ref looking at the video's who's the moron.

Newcastle Fan Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Every other league in the world that has Var is doing fine, Serie A uses it to perfection, but they just had to make a complete fucking mess out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what the sky football presenter said, around 15 minutes after the game. Ah just assumed he had someone in his ear telling him it was a red I thought the same, it does seem strange that the ref thinks it's yellow but decides it's red because of the injury. I guess the injury influenced it obviously, if the Sky presenter has it right of course. The VAR ref upgrading it makes more sense to be honest.

Bimpy474 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Is VAR used to be perfection anywhere? That's got to be impossible surely, humans make the decisions in the end and to err is human and all that, unfortunately English league humans seem to be utterly useless.

Tiresias Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Should follow suit of other sports and VAR has to be a decision from the onfield captain or the manager and limited number of uses to prevent this shit. Maybe 1 a half and you don't lose a var appeal if decision successfully overturned. PERHAPS an option for the ref to refer to it himself if it's something super serious he didn't see. It's obscenely pedantic, ruining the flow of games and not clearing up controversy at all. Unfortunately you can't really legislate what a 'really clear obvious error' as opposed to the milimetre offsides that linesmen couldn't possibly tell so you have to make it something that the sides can call upon a limited number of times. Yes it is good it can overrule clear injustices, it should not be interfering with the game regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 VAR referealls from players / managers in football would make it even more of a joke than it already is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Would it? In tennis or cricket if refs made a blunder and you've already used your allowed appeal it becomes poor management on your team rather than purely the referees fault and or bad luck. It would minimise disruption, and while obviously a really bad ref will stll screw up a game that will always be the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those games are also stop start games, so it works given the them 15 seconds or so to make challenge. The periods when a team in football was deciding to challenge something would be a farce, as would the restart if the decison was fine. It just wouldn't work.

Happinesstan Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Don't give them a time frame to make the claim. Players are constantly moaning at the ref. Just let he ref ask the captain if he wants to review, if no, book the players protesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
