NoelVilla Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Trossard is diving for Arsenal's penalty. Wouldn't have mattered of course but still another VAR mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 17 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17 (edited) The Watkins penalty that wasn't given today. Actually unbelievable. VAR is useless To me it looked like one of those fouls where everyone in football would think it's a foul. So I'm curious if anyone on here thinks it wasn't Edited February 17 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-k Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 What "high bar" for intervention? VAR was brought in to intervene for those exact moments. Clear pen, ref makes a major mistake, that's what VAR is there for. VAR is not there for zooming in on pixelated freeze frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Iraola realising the Newcastle bias with a dodgy offside call, not seen it myself. Either that or a weekend of crap officiating, make your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem right there l, the belief that VAR is there to fix mistakes, that VAR gives something in direct contrast to the ref, that they're disagreeing with each other Ref doesn't give the penalty because he can't clearly see it from his position... VAR is there to help him because they can see it clearly, they're a team... Instead we seemingly have this battle between them Today is bollocks that they didn't want to over rule him, or that they don't want to undermine the pitch ref, that's not what they're there for or what it's about, it's about the 5 man PGMOL ref team getting the right decision, they're incapable of it, add it to the list of their incompetencies and why they're not fit for purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Newcastle getting a lot of VAR decisions seemed to start as soon as they got bought by the Saudis. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Just watched the highlights from the games today on Sky Sports YouTube. Arsenal get given what is a very soft pen, closer to a play for contact/dive for me. While us, Brentford & Forest get denied blatant pens. Sounds about right.

In fairness its easier to get VAR decisions when you attack and are not managed by a clearing in the woods like Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) What the hell is that Newcastle penalty? Why are they doing these things??? Referees and Linesman being shit and VAR not correcting them is one thing. But VAR giving penalties to players in an offside position is going too far!

So I'm curious if anyone on here thinks it wasn't I can actually see why the ref might not have been given it because could look like a shoulder barge. But can’t for the life of me understand why he wouldn’t be told he’d made a mistake. The Moreno offside was even more bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really dodgy Newcastle avoid a pen last week despite it being an obvious foul then this gets overturned despite it being a clear offside?

StefanAVFC Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I also get the impression that PGMOL don’t care that there’s impression that they’re getting nearly everything wrong as they turn around and say they actually get most things right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
