Leveller Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Can’t agree with the penalty decision. He was clearly trying to get his arm out of the way. I think the ref commenting on BT demonstrates that they don’t use common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltshoveller Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 It took ages to give the pen What is really getting on my tits is that i have now seen 7 pens given 7 have been scored But every one of those pens had 7/8 players in the box as the kick was taken To see that took one or two seconds So why no retake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted February 20, 2019 Author Admin Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 So, it seems the pitchside screen wasn’t working, so the ref couldn’t look at it and had to go with the VAR ref’s decision, he might have made a different decision.

It is getting bloody ridiculous now, the gamesmanship trying to put the penalty taker off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each time there were attacking players As i said you could see that in seconds IF you are going to have VAR play to the ducking rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InCyder Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 If it takes 3 minutes to make a call, its not a 'clear and obvious error'. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North London Red Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 That didn’t look an intentional handball to me - and for a penalty or free kick to be awarded for handball, the laws are quite clear: it has to be deemed intentional. When seeing a replay, in super slow motion these things always look worse. In real time, Otamendi had a fraction of a second to react as the ball was fired towards him. With VAR, I think referees should be able to watch as many replays as they want, but the final replay they see should be in real time, and not slowed down to a quarter of the pace at which the incident originally happened.

Whatever technology is being used, the final decision must always be with the referee. If, as was the case here, the referee could not view a replay of the incident, then the decision should have been the original decision the referee gave on the pitch in real time.

Leveller Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Great contest. For ages it looked like City were going to be blunted. Instead they storm back at the end despite being down to 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 VAR certainly proving a talking point. In the other game, Morata had a goal disallowed for a very soft apparent foul- arguably not a clear and obvious error. Ajax last week had one disallowed in very marginal circs at a time they were quite a bit on top and the opposition up against it- beneficiaries 'surprisingly' Real Madrid in the latter... Watch these- correct calls or not? In both cases, would be very aggrieved if I was on the wrong end (probably pretty relieved if the defending side)!

Second video not working for me, first one absolutely offside. Close, but still offside Video of last night's penalty if anyone hasnt seen it - for me it's harsh and I've had them go for and against me but his arm is out wide in the box. He's gained an advantage, shot was on target I can see why it's given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One you'd want or hope for as an attacking side, and be aggrieved to concede as a defensive one. Whether VAR should award it I don't know. The Ajax open and watched again- yeah offside, albeit very marginally. Morata vid appears to have been removed- if there was contact it was very little and exaggerated- will find a better vid. In terms of the first penalty though, our one on Sunday was more obvious and clear and we didn't get that, the first handball by Doherty from Da Silva cross! It could be incredibly slight but unsure there's any contact there at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 If only we'd had VAR against Wolves. Perversely, I think if we'd been at their place we it would have been used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
