Bissaka kicked Sigurdsson down moments before Sigurdsson got his shot away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I saw that asked too, its an interesting one cos he gets the shot off but he's definitely taken out you could make an argument that the tackle has no impact on the play but then when you pair that with the idea that sigurdson sat on the floor does impact the play it starts to sound a bit harsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Barcelona were awarded an almost identical penalty over the weekend. Our one was even less a penalty than their but apparently handball has a new definition now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 You can be offside if your armpit/shoulder is offside, but you can't play the ball with it. Consistent lads, good banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 It's to do with overturning the decision the ref has already made I guess. I still think if the ref himself had a look at it he would change the decision, especially the Sokratis one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't touch his arm as the ref thought but rather his shoulder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Yeah not that it mattered tonight as we didn’t deserve anything but VAR has been dreadful and just seems to get more dreadful with every game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Didn't affect the outcome of the game and we were well beaten but yet another example of why this cancerous system simply doesn't work. It basically just adds another level of inconsistency and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubbs Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Do you reckon VAR could be used by the owners? There's clearly been an obvious error made when they gave Smith a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
