It’s good in theory but still won’t solve the issues,Ray parlour just said what if I think it’s a pen and he doesn’t,the video ref might decide no pen but a ref in the studio like BT Sport do might tell the presenter and pundits that’s a pen still won’t solve anything..Jamie redknapp spot on about VAR. Will cause more problems than good.
My issue is that it stops the excitement of a goal. Every time a player scores in the Italian or German league the first thing you do is look to the ref as it could simply be ruled out due to a challenge five minutes before. It ruins the emotion of a goal.It’s good in theory but still won’t solve the issues,Ray parlour just said what if I think it’s a pen and he doesn’t,the video ref might decide no pen but a ref in the studio like BT Sport do might tell the presenter and pundits that’s a pen still won’t solve anything..
Yeah that’s a good point as well..My issue is that it stops the excitement of a goal. Every time a player scores in the Italian or German league the first thing you do is look to the ref as it could simply be ruled out due to a challenge five minutes before. It ruins the emotion of a goal.
Its horrible and will really damage the game imo
haha i do that by requestYou've spoilt it, by putting the list of officials up ;-)
I get all that and a non-penalty call wouldn't have been a surprise, but I still think it warranted a penalty. Just my opinion.You ever tried running at full speed and then stopping instantly with your hands behind your back? It's not easy as the momentum will carry you forward. His hands came in front to stop him clattering into Gibbs and balance himself and stop him falling forward. At that distance you can't call it deliberate or if thats the case then players should just aim for hands when crossing in the box to get a penalty.
Looking at it you can see he was trying to balance himself and wasn't going to handle the cross. Even if he had the time to see it and then put his hands up intentionally, why? the ball was going to hit him in the stomach. It's not like his hands were above head or out to the sides. Really harsh and a non penalty imo. In slow mo it looks like there was ages of time but by the time he got there, the ball was crossed.
Reporter should hit back saying your player banned so that should have been a penBet PEG mentions the handball in his next interview
