You can't completely wipe the man out after touching the ball. Rugby tackles don't become acceptable just because you touch the ball first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jones1328 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 It's an absolute farce. Surely VAR should be flagging up decisions such as that disallowed Burnley goal! The Leeds goalie cleaned the Burnley player out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see it, but one decision being wrong doesn't invalidate the other correct decision. That was a clear penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted December 27, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) What is the point of VAR if it cant get a ref to look at that decision again. Who choses what it looks at? Just seems completely arbitrary! Edited December 27, 2020 by Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted December 27, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) There would seem a perfect way of overcoming this ignoring of random events; Just give each manager a one time call to review a situation, like they use in tennis!

One was, the keeper touched the ball, then took the player out, the other, the keeper touched the ball, then took the player out 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Ah, just saw the second decision, yeah that's just absurd. Keepers get away with murder sometimes. The first decision is spot on though IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the refs fault tbh, he should have just let the move continue then let VAR clean it up. Its exactly the same as when Kevin Friend stole our point off us against Crystal Palace early last season! Just poor officiating! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Goalkeepers are given too much lenciency sometimes. He fouled Mee. Poor officiating. Whether he gets the ball or not, doesn't matter. He clattered him. Shocking knee in the back. Reminds of when Engels got punched in the face by the Bournemouth goalkeeper last season. The standard of refeering in this league continues to amaze.

The big point is that the standard of officiating should not matter now we have gone with VAR. Makes me double furious when we see obvious mistakes like this when we have to sit through 5 minutes of replays every time we score a goal. The technology means we shouldnt have mistakes like this!

The fact that he blew for a foul before the goal means VAR couldn't even review it. What's the point of technology (and it's terrible implementation) if referees are getting such obvious decisions wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of consistency is the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet the ref can blow the final whistle for a game and a decision can be reviewed afterwards. Makes no sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Also, why was there no penalty check? The rules are confusing. Awarding the foul was a clear and obvious error (I know the term is meaningless), but managers have no ability to challenge this absurdity.

StefanAVFC Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Not sure who the clown of a ref is (don't recognise him), but I doubt he'll get another PL game any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
