Lympsham Red Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Our dearly-missed former Head of Communications, Adam Baker, has shared his first ever blog post on Twitter, on the subject of VAR at the current World Cup in Russia, and I think it's a pretty good read. Felt it would only be right to share it with all of you on here. https://adambakerpr.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted June 20, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Good read. Who recorded the game on Monday to investigate this simultaneous Stones fouls claim? Seems fishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask me it just sounds like FIFA trying to save face in what in my opinion was an obvious failure on the part of the VAR team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky89 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Nah, on both occasions a foul was committed by an England player first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, look at what's happening around the Kane incident and our boys are giving it out first. Particularly Stones for the first one.

No, they aren't. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44523777 Watch it yourself. Laughable to suggest Stones does anything wrong on the first one, there's no contact with him whatsoever. VAR failed, don't make excuses for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The view of that doesn't even have Stones in the picture. Conveniently it's that same angle the English press keepmusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conveniently it's that same angle the English press keepmusing! Yes... It does. Watch from 1:36 to 1:46 in the video. That's the first penalty shout from that freekick. It ends with Stones (who by the way is fully in shot for the full 10 seconds) missing a chance. They then replay some close ups of Kane, which of course don't show Stones, they're close up replays of the Kane incident. You can however, see that Stones does nothing at all, during the period 1:36 to 1:46. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens before Kane is then fouled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We said the same in the pub during the game. Im really confused though, the guy Stones fouls is literally waving and complaining at the referee after he's shoved. I'm not even sure we're talking about the same incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the incident you're referring to take place between 1:36 and 1:46 in the highlights in the link I posted above? I thought it was pretty clear what incident we were discussing, but perhaps not (the rugby tackle on Kane in the first half at 1-1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
