VAR

[Blast_of_Cannock]

What we need is a VAR VAR for when VAR make a clear & obvious error. A VARR we could call it, Video Assistant Referee Referee.

Like what? A penalty to be taken at the Park End Tuesday lunchtime?

Some sort of official statement, audio, etc?

We should scream and demand the audio. Stamp our feet call for parliament to debate the penalty. Go to the united nations and ask them to intervene.

Or just get over it and get on with the next game. We ain't like them RS scruffs.

Don’t know what that would tell us.

The issue here is that it wasn’t a ‘clear and obvious error.’

Unfortunately, that’s a meaninglessly subjective phrase and it’s very easy to stonewall any complaint that disagrees with how VAR interpreted it.

You`d be yellow carded for that in the rugby.

Anyone still defending this shambles needs yeeting.
And don't give me that 'it's not VAR, it's how it's used' bollocks either.

It's not VAR, it's how it's used.

If the ref saw what actually happened and gave the penalty, it wouldn't have been overturned, because you can't say De Ligt didn't impede Young by pulling his shirt. But because the ref thought it was a different player, that's enabled them to jump through hoops to cancel the penalty. I can't see how this is what football would expect to happen in this case.

In short, there most likely was a foul and the ref gave a penalty, but he didn't make a clear and obvious error in not giving a penalty. Or something.

Beto has a similar one against Leicester, Vestergaard just totally cleaned him out. No pen

I think var should have a clock with a set time limit. If you can't make a firm case to overturn the decision in that allotted time , it should be dropped , as it wasn't an obvious error. Tired of these 10 minute var calls trying to the miniscule aspect to justify var
