[The Future’s Blue!]

That’s literally why they are sent there. It isn’t an opinion.

Sent or advised? Make your mind up.

Sent or advised? Make your mind up.

Either is fine.

The referee has been advised to go to the monitor to undertake an onfield review.

The referee has been sent to the screen to undertake an onfield review.

When Hee-chan took out one of our players, which should have seen us get a pen and him get a red card, I don't recall VAR getting involved. Perhaps you commented on the injustice of that at the time - if so, perhaps you can see why people are complaining.

Why would VAR get involved?

Which is fine. Most challenges have a large element of subjectivity about them.

and MOST challenges don't get highlighted and analysed for us to be able to see the "subjectivity" thresholds.

Who decides at VARHQ which of these subjective challenges the on-field ref should see again?
A different individual every week?
So, an extra level of subjectivity stitched into the process, which is nice ;)

Looks to me like he was sent and then told, nothing to do with advising.

The VAR official for each match.

That’s because they’re sent to the screen when the VAR official thinks the on field referee has made a mistake.

If they didn’t, they wouldn't be sent to the screen.

I thought everyone knew it was code for ‘change your mind’

Penalty?

Juande Carroll's arse 98th minute.

It’s what it largely does, but that’s because the VAR official has seen the incident fron5 different angles, whereas the on field ref had one view.

I’d prefer the on field refs to ask to check calls they aren’t 109% on and review them without being told where they’ve gone wrong, but no doubt that would add another half an hour to each game.
