Robbored Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Blades forward Brewster went in to a tackle with both feet up, from behind sends the WH player flying and the ref gives a yellow card! it was a shocking tackle, a real leg breaker. VaR send the ref to the monitor who then eventually gave a red, a deserved red, Two points 1) why didn’t the linesman just feet away tell the ref it was a red? 2) had VaR not been available Brewster would have got away with just a yellow. Good job there was no VaR at AG on Tuesday……….. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 How a pen wasn't given right at the end I don't know. Bowen was rugby tackled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Very poor officiating at the end. Blatant red for the dive tackle, which ref initially gave a yellow. Couldn’t see what the West Ham keeper had done apart from triggering the Sheff Utd player to do some aerobatics - no VAR intervention. Bowen was blatantly rugby tackled at the end which the referee and VAR bottled. Then ref blew up for the end of the match seconds after he missed the Bowen penalty when there had to be several minutes left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does feel like they are doing decisions slower after the Liverpool/Spurs farce . Do feel on field refs aren’t confident in their own decisions making now though.

Bowen was rugby tackled and this caused him to handle the ball which the ref gave the free kick for. Just totally bizarre how the ref and VAR don't give that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midred Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 If only we had had VAR for our two matches against Sheff utd last season. Doesn't seem like they've changed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Straight choice as you all pay your money... I would choose the option for hard tackling and missing the odd foul for free flowing football and instant decisions... I don't pay for the thrill of watching forensic decisioning, and linesman who don't flag Conway 10 yards offside but wait for the possibility of a him breaking his leg pointlessly... Shove VAR where the sun don't shine. Give me my game back. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's a perfect example of a clear and obvious error and precisely when VAR should intervene. I'd like to hear the audio of this because something does not sit right with me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I'm not so sure on the Bowen one. He has hold of the defender as well. The foul against the keeper is a shocker though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
