Pata Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 FWIW I think that goal should stand BUT in those situations the ref needs to look at the screen and decide whether HE would have given the freekick. None of this high standard nonsense to overturn by another official This is the biggest problem with VAR in the Premier League. All foul decisions are subjective and the ref who made the original decision should watch the screen. Right now it respects the original decision too much and seems like the VAR team can't overturn decisions just by talking to the ref. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I thought he went down too easily looking for the foul. I agree and I think he would have lost the ball anyway. I don't care, he was hacked down from behind. There's a clear kick. It’s a contact sport, he went down too easily for me. Mane’s was a clear handball.

Bimpy474 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Whatever you think of VAR, Martin Atkinson is so close to that and to not see a foul is just appalling refereeing. Should have been corrected but the initial decision from Atkinson sums up how poor our refs are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I thought he went down too easily looking for the foul. It’s a contact sport aye, but if you kick the attacker and miss the ball, it’s a foul. I agree and I think he would have lost the ball anyway. I don't care, he was hacked down from behind. There's a clear kick. It’s a contact sport, he went down too easily for me. Mane’s was a clear handball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, you can see he had lost the ball already with the heavy touch, and that's why he embellishes the fall. Could go either way, but can see how they let it stand.

morla84 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Surely we could get some professional expert wizz kids making the VAR decisions rather than asking what sounds like the cleaner from premier league headquarters?

joeyt Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The VAR screen on the side of the pitch is completely pointless. As Shearer said last night, 90 PL games and not once has the ref gone to the side of the pitch to look at something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
