Zatman Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 just rewatched the Baggies red card, its very very harsh. I could see why the ref saw it as a red but only if he really wanted to find a red card in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 VAR shouldn't even be needed there on that Coady dive. Should never have even been given as a pen in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like some rules they can just ignore and others are stringently enforced regardless of the context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-k Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I think it's because yellows can't be given for VAR decisions. If that's indeed the rule then I doubt we will see many yellows given for diving anymore, since they can't be given "retrospectively", and the ref won't give a yellow for simulation only to be potentially red-faced after VAR shows it's actually a pen.

Nigel Posted December 6, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 6, 2020 Id love to think this was the changing point with VAR, that common sense was going to be integrated from now on, but I cant hope but notice where this game is being played; They have made sure to get the right people in the van today.

If the Watkins incident is anything they go by then they dont even look at other things except the incident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Also starting to think that the monitor bollocks is just to save face. The decision is still made at Stockley Park but it looks like the on field ref has control. Yet to see the ref look at the monitor on advise from VAR and make a different decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-k Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 How can VAR send off Pereira and not even have a second look at Harry Kane? This is the third time he’s done this this season and not once has it been checked. This is 1000x more dangerous and could seriously injure someone.

Yeah should be a red card offense no questions asked. It's more dangerous than a 2-footer, or kicking out at an opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really disgusting. He will end up really hurting someone. Refs are cowards. Media are cowards. Imagine if Kane wasn't English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 as England captain he will probably get away it but thats shocking, Shearer used to get away with sly things but thats a lot worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Yeah that's pretty **** nasty. To be fair I've not really ever noticed anyone doing that on purpose before, I'm not sure if there is a specific rule to try and combat it even if VAR did intervene?

Keyblade Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Not a criticism of VAR, but during the Spurs Arsenal game, Lo Celso almost got a second yellow for a foul outside the box on Lacazette right before half time. It was basically a carbon copy of the March non-foul on Trezeguet in the box against Brighton. He toe-poked the ball, but he then caught the player on the shin. Like I said at the time, outside the box, 9 times out of 10 that's a foul. But for whatever reason, in the box, all of a sudden the "got the ball" fallacy comes into effect. Lo Celso actually got a good chunk of the ball too as opposed to March who only grazed it after a mis-kick. https://i.imgur.com/zVmL2WZ.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted December 7, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2020 With regards to Kane backing in a savvy defender would jump with his knees out and take him out if he does not jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
