Maybe so but it would stop Kane doing it again potentially, fight fire with fire and all that. I hope when we play them Smith instructs one of our CB’s to give him a ‘friendly’ knee in the back early on in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 If Kane did that in a basketball game he'd start an all in brawl. Incredibly dirty and dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I’ve been banging on for years that this sort of challenge should be a red card 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 That Brighton penalty should have been retaken. If they had gotten the lines out, I'm sure they would have seen that multiple players had body parts that could play the ball that were encroaching inside the box. Yes, I know it didn't affect the outcome of the penalty at all, but if rules are going to be rules then the lines should have come out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Are refs (physical and video) now turning a blind eye to staggered run ups? Quite a few players doing them now. Bale did one the other night Fernandes does a massive jump during his run up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 It's amazing how they get away with it, and yet, the goalkeeper is punished for coming off of their line due to them stopping the first place. It's deeply unfair. Fernandes effectively breaks stride twice in his penalites and gets away with it almost always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Never a penalty, another in the long procession of awful decisions made by people who must see a football match entirely differently to how I see a football match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 3-4 minutes wasted on another decision with no oversight or conclusions for people to critique. It's not fit for purpose in its current form. If officials cannot make a decision in 60 seconds they shouldn't be reviewing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a fix mate. They are trying to even the decisions up throughout a season. We can all see it’s not a penalty. Scandalous. Has for Harry Kane. I thought he just held his ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 There must be a petition out there somewhere to get VAR binned off. It’s ruined football on every level, I’d rather have the odd dodgy human error decision then whatever the hell this tripe is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Whichever referee has reviewed that and said "yeah, it's a penalty, not a free kick" should be sacked. Absolute disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I think it's great everytime we have such a massive mess from VAR, more chance of people really pushing for a massive overhaul or, better still, it's complete abandonment. Just need it to happen in more high profile games than tonight. The more it happens to the Man City, Liverpool type games the quicker we'll see the issue resolved. Problem is, I think VAR people are aware of this so don't annoy the big boys if at all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 It’s not the cameras and technology that is the problem. It’s the people making the decisions and the interpretations. Why are they doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Pascal Gross ripping into the refs there. It's the same refs on the pitch who are in Stockley Park too, they just rotate. No surprise if the on-pitch referee makes a terrible decision and the VAR agrees. They're all as bad as each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only against the rules if you actually dummy the kicking of the ball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute disgrace. Yep it's a joke. It's what we've all been saying. The decision on the field should stand UNLESS there is clear evidence to overturn it. They're just guessing with that decision. It shouldn't be "That's PROBABLY in the box so we'll give a penalty". It should be "Well we can't say for sure that's in the box so the decision on the pitch stands" I actually think that's a decision that could be both a penalty or a free kick depending on what the ref has given on the pitch. It's so marginal that you have to go with what the ref gave in the first place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
