Reminded me of that ref we had in Intertoto cup v Celta Vigo in 2000. Blew for full time when the stadium clock was showing 88 minutes cue all the players pointing at it. Anyway play stops 86th minute as this ref goes to have a look at VAR. Takes three minutes and finally (correctly) gives the penalty. It's scored 91st minute. Then the retake thing happens and that's scored 94th minute. She blows for full time in 96th minute.....should be sent home for that alone as inexcusable at world cup level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its something pushed by BBC pretty exclusively. They are effectively different competitions and should be treated as such. Marta has done great but she shouldn't be compared to Ronaldo and Klose, she should be compared to her fellow women players. It's creeping into all sports. In Tennis you had the list of mens grand slams and now likes of Serena Williams are added as she's won more than they have which is fair enough but still only 3 sets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before either could do it she somehow blows for full time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 19, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 19, 2019 Yeah that referee performance should be a sacking. When it comes to decisions you have the excuse that many are open to interpretation. But if you've got a game with 5 goals, 5 subs, and 3 long stoppages, you shouldn't be calling full-time at the 96th minute. There's no room for interpretation there. It comes to something when the ref blows the whistle and literally everyone in the stadium is dumbstruck. Before booing at what an absurd decision it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 20, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2019 Considering you get 4 minutes of injury time for nothing, that's absurd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Yes Argentina were done lol. The ref was good in the way she showed the Scottish goalkeeper that she must stay on the line before the pen was taken so despite Scottish pundits moaning about it, it was right to retake it. She obviously lost track of time though. Enjoyable game to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Say what you like about womens football but i'm really enjoying this world cup. Another dramatic finish in the Cameroon, v New Zealand game and no VAR involved this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Bit embarrassing having to change the rules mid tournament Quote Temporary dispensation: no cautions for goalkeeper encroachment during Kicks from the Penalty Mark 21 JUN 2019 Temporary dispensation related to cautions for goalkeeper encroachment during Kicks from the Penalty Mark at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019 The IFAB Board of Directors today approved a request from FIFA for a temporary dispensation relating to Kicks from the Penalty Mark (KFPM) in Law 10 – Determining the Outcome of a Match at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019. The Law currently states that “if the goalkeeper commits an offence and, as a result, the kick is retaken, the goalkeeper must be cautioned”. The purpose of the caution (yellow card) is to act as a deterrent to the goalkeeper to not infringe the Laws of the Game, in particular by not encroaching from the goal line before the kick is taken. However, in matches where Video Assistant Referees (VARs) are being used, the presence of the VARs acts as an even greater deterrent to goalkeepers as they know that any encroachment will be detected by the VARs if it is not detected by the on-field match officials. The IFAB fully supports goalkeepers being penalised for not conforming with the Laws of the Game and gaining an unfair advantage. However, for any KFPM during the knockout stages of the on-going FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019 in France, a temporary dispensation has been given to FIFA from the requirement to caution a goalkeeper who is penalised for an offence which results in a kick being retaken. The main reasons for this temporary dispensation include: - the presence of VARs acts as a far greater deterrent than the caution - the presence of VARs greatly increases the likelihood of any offence being detected and, as goalkeepers are likely to face a number of kicks during KFPM, there is a higher risk that a goalkeeper will be sent off for receiving a second caution if already cautioned in normal time, or two cautions during the KFPM - unlike during ‘normal time’, when a sent-off goalkeeper can usually be 'replaced' by the team substituting an outfield player for a specialist reserve goalkeeper, substitutions are not allowed in KFPM so an outfield player would have to become the goalkeeper Both FIFA and The IFAB therefore believe that the requirement to caution an offending goalkeeper in KFPM in matches with VARs is not necessary and risks unfairly distorting the KFPM if a goalkeeper is sent off. The IFAB confirms that this temporary dispensation does not apply to penalty kicks during ‘normal time’ because goalkeepers have already received cautions for this offence during the tournament and it would be unfair to change at this point of the competition. In contrast, KFPM are only introduced for the forthcoming knockout stages. The IFAB believes that this request could bring greater fairness to the FIFA Women’s World Cup; the experience gathered will enable further consideration of the impact of VARs on penalty kicks, and especially KFPM, in the future. http://theifab.com/news/temporary-dispensation-related-to-cautions-for-goalkeeper-encroachment-during-kicks-from-the-penalty-mark-at-the-fifa-womens-world-cup-2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted June 23, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) WTF is going on here. Cameroon looking like they're about to stop playing because of the VAR decision, which was clearly the right decision.

a m ole Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 It does feel strange for lino’s to delay the call in case there’s a goal and then make a decision, only for that decision not to matter because it will be reviewed. If VAR is in use, is the offside flag relevant? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
