Highlandmagar Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 VAR is an absolute joke. And you think our corrupt, incompetent officials here would be any better? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishBhoy Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I’m actually looking forward to how much of a rip roaring c**t our officials are going to make of VAR. It’s going to be box office. Did anyone see the game from VARs first season in Serie A, where a player went through on goal and was blatantly brought down in the box. The referee waves play on as the players go absolutely ape shit, the other team hoof the ball up the pitch and it breaks to the striker who goes round the keeper and slots it in to an empty net. The players celebrate for a bit before the teams set up for kick off again, but the referee delays it for a few minutes before being told to go and look at the screen for the original penalty claim. It’s as blatant as they come so he has to disallow the goal and go back and give the penalty That’s the sort of stuff I’m expecting from our officials next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no time for VAR, and am in no way sticking up for English officials, but that was correct by both ref and VAR. I thought it was a penalty at first look too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just miss the Forest player kicking the Huddersfield player's foot? Unless somehow running at full speed you can move you knee inward. 50s in shows the clear contact and obvious error from Jon Moss Edited May 29, 2022 by Jim McLean's Ghost 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He flicks his leg out the way, it's not a penalty. If that upsets you, then there's no point continuing this conversation.

ropy Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Does his right foot not get kicked on to his left leg. That’s what I am seeing from the clips posted above. I did not see the match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieThomas Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Didn't watch the game, but it looks like - despite VAR - there's still quite the controversy despite video evidence. Damn, no way that'll benefit Celtic and Rangers 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR takes a look at it and waves it on. You’d have to be blind to not see it was a penalty and yet… I detest VAR but there is nothing to show that the ref got it obviously wrong.I'd also point out that IF there's contact it's minimal and he really could have stayed on his feet. It was a dive or he made a meal of it. VAR, and more importantly for my hatred of VAR, the ref got it correct.ETA Watching Colbeck's reaction, probably a penalty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA Watching Colbeck's reaction, probably a penalty I thought from one angle the boy played for it and seemed to be going down before contact and then from a different angle it looked like he was just cutting in and only looked off balance which made it look like he was going down. So from that if the ref had given it, I doubt the VAR would have overturned either. I think/ hope VAR is for things like this at 1:20 and not decisions that could either way.

Zamora Fan Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I’ve watched that incident loads of times from the different angles and can’t decide if I think it’s a foul or not. In a normal game it would happen in the moment ref makes the 50/50 call and everyone argues about it afterward.Now you get five mins of delay while having no clue what’s going on, then ref makes the 50/50 call. Then everyone still argues about it afterward. Complete nonsense.It isn’t even like it’s a rare occurrence, exact same 50/50/could go either way call happened in the champions league final and in most games because football is such a great fast flowing game. Which suits are trying to ruin. Modern football is being tear gassed by UEFA then having to sit in silence for 5 minutes during the biggest game of the season while some p***k in a room is practically flipping a coin to decide if a goal should stand.Heads gone, as it is every time I think about the fact we will have to endure this from next winter [emoji1304] 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
