Var debate 2019/20

It is a bit odd that this is something VAR doesn’t look at. It’s something pretty clear cut that they could eradicate fairly easily.

But VAR is supposed to look at it. I posted the PL guidelines on pens and VAR a few posts back on this thread last night RIC.

Sorry, hadn’t seen that. Will have a look now.

Var is supposed to do a lot of things that it doesn’t when City are involved

The rules are clear as mud. On the penalty there were 3 offences, the keeper off his line and both defenders and attackers in the area before the ball was struck. Virtually every penalty has some sort of encroachment, it would be like the farce in the women's world cup if every one was penalised.

clearly the officials and VAR are cheats ?? this clip is even before the ball was struck and players are in the box and the keeper is a good yard of his line

I suppose the question is, which bit should the officials prioritise? Technically, as the penalty was missed, it could be argued that they should have awarded an indirect free kick to Sheffield, due to the Mahrez encroachment. If Jesus had scored, they could have ordered a retake for the same reason.

There is no other explanation for that, it’s disgusting , how can the officials get away with that ?

the rule is crazy and technically the linesman watching the keeper coming off his line well before the taker hits the ball is enough for a retake, but VAR on encroachment is both city and sheff utd players are in the box so its a retake pen ? but if the linesman can not see the keeper a mile off his line then he is not doing his job proper and should be up facing the broad and demoted

its a shocker matey and is a big problem for EPL officials if they are reviewing it ?? pep and city should send the clip to the head of the premier league and ask what the hell is going on, and if VAR and the match officials are missing that why have VAR in the first place because its a clear and obvious piss take on manchester city ? forget we won the game and should move on NO its been going on all season and enough is enough and time to answer questions
