BRISTOL86 Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I swear they’re deliberately making controversial decisions with it. How any referee can say there’s a foul there after repeated viewings is absolutely staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 This is bizarre. Seemingly fair goal ruled out, a free kick becomes a penalty, the taker then booked for stalling on a run up. Well it’s certainly entertaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Goal ! !!!! No, scratch that. Goal !!! 1-0 Free kick , no scratch that pen ! Goal , no wait booking. Retake ? No wait free kick . Goal. 1-1 have to say I’ve lost interest, takes too long. Better get back to work. It must be annoying if you’re there.

Super Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I actually thought the pen would have to be retaken instead of disallowed. Least I am learning stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise! Justice though as I don’t think it was a penalty. The foul was outside the box, while the arm was ‘hanging’ inside the box didn’t seem to me there was any meaningful contact/pressure.... so doesn’t pass the ‘clear and obvious’ test. Great game though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's extremely disliked out here and if it's true then that's great news as it's become a farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 This is the same Ref we had on Sunday. He was inconsistent then, frightened to make any decisions, now heavily relying on VAR ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I am convinced that the introduction of VAR is part of a job creation scheme, to provide more employment opportunities to ex footballers as pundits. 30/40 years ago referees were no more perfect than they are today, and there were controversial decisions ( the WBA "offside " goal at Leeds always comes to mind) but there never seemed to be anything like the level of after match debate about decisions back then as there is today. In the premier league era it seems that the pundits and commentators are more concerned about controversial decisions, which tend to be the first mater for discussion after a game, rather than how the teams played,special skill or goals. I know it is early days at the moment, but I can;t help feeling that the introduction of VAR will only give pundits even more controversy to discuss , at the expense of what actually happened when the ball was in play.

Midlands Robin Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I hate it on MotD when the pundits get to watch every incident in super slow motion from three different angles and then criticise the Ref for not getting the decision correct. At least they've solved the problem of ghost goals thanks to goal line technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
