And it wasn’t even a hard decision. It was a very clear situation.
On the other hand, there was also a very clear handball by Newcastle earlier, but they didn’t even check the var.
Saudi United deserves it after bribing the refs in the Arsenal match. Oil is flowing.
I also stand down to urinate like all heterosapiens
This isn’t anything to do with VAR. Ref needs to grow a set of balls and not be pressured into decisions.
Hang on! The ref went to monitor did he not? Then he could also see it was wrong. He should have same punishment as VAR can only suggest overturn but not make ref do it. Var did miss a peno earlier where Gordon brought someone down tho so maybe that’s the reason and not this one
VAR is like communism, great in theory, but humans ruin it
I’m so confused. A few weeks back Liverpool had a last minute goal ruled out for a handball in the buildup, which was another case of the ball hitting the body first, and then the arm.
The explanation among fans was that there’s not enough clarity in the handball rule currently to distinguish handballs that come off the body first don’t count, which is annoying, but fine.
Happens again last night, and now the VAR is being stood down, which basically communicates that UEFA think something has gone wrong. So which is it? Are they going to address the rule change or not, they look like they’ve come into this season so unprepared. It wasn’t like they hadn’t been told it was recommended as an expansion to the handball rule back in April of this year.
Marciniak and Kwiatkowski try be awalys a hero in Polish Ekstraklasa, nothing new :)
Oh man, they forgot to give the cut to the VAR ref. Now UEFA cannot cash in the check
Why is it just this ref or this decision? I’m not saying all refs should be getting demoted but why just this particular one? There have been countless mental decisions recently.
Thing is the referee needs to stand up and say no that’s not a penalty. Not just agree with VAR, he has control of the game, it’s his decision. That was one of if not the worst penalties I’ve ever seen given in my life. I can’t believe anybody who knows anything about football could give that decision especially watching it in slow motion on video replay. What a joke!
Oh how much more fair everything is with VAR. Love it. /s
At Coventry v Argyle last night the ball was over the goal line and out of play just before it was played back for a Coventry player to score. No VAR so we have to suck it. Evens.
Why do these associations come out and admit they’re wrong? But can’t amend a scoreline post-game?
Yeah sure it’s the machine’s fault, not the human’s /s
