sne Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 another VAR review for a Spain goal not given this time. Now given as a goal. Going to be honest, even if VAR helps correct things from time to time I don't like it in it's current stae. Every game turns into a farce and the Ref takes center stage over the players. I rather have the odd game decided by refs making mistakes that having to watch this. The number of games ending in players attacking the ref will increase from this, not the other way round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Anything that will annoy the word removed that is CR7 is a correct decision in my book. So for me a penalty all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only was he wrong, he was instructed to not flag for close calls. He's ignored his boss, and caused controversy where there should have been none. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Iran left it too late. That would have been a crazy end to see Portugal get leap frogged by a nation that couldn't score a non-og until 270 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR is going some way to repair the damage. If it wasn't for VAR, Spain would have had a list minute goal wrongly disallowed and could be going home. Could the implementation improve? Maybe. But it's already proving its worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree with this. The only decision there I have a real problem with there was the handball at the end. It probably didn't need to be reviewed, but there's not much harm in reviewing it. It's the ref who has given it and is in the wrong. My only concern is are the refs feeling pressured into giving the decision because it's being reviewed?

Its getting to the point every decision is being reviewed. It was never a penalty for Iran IMO. It wasn't a penalty for Portugal IMO The implementation needs to improve massively.

My feeling at the moment though is if the ref can see numerous replays from several angles, and can't get the decision right, then VAR isn't the problem. If they can't judge a decision that's clear as daylight, with the benefit of replays from several angles, why trust them more to decide in real time?

Therefore the ref was still going with the VAR? Genuinely don't remember. Might be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
