No, he made no on-field decision and waited for VAR to review, hence why he immediately stopped play and indicated VAR were reviewing when players approached him.
And the rate at which referees are choosing not making decisions on the pitch but rather immediately indicating VAR is instead reviewing is increasing. They are leaning on VAR to make the decisions, not just check if their decisions were correct. And in a way this make sense, as it is easier to let someone sitting in front of many screens with many different angles of an incident make the decision. But it also allows the opportunity for quite a lot of confusion, inconsistent application of the rules, wildly varying outcomes for similar (or identical) situations (which VAR was meant to prevent), and risk of manipulation.
It is not opinion, it is very obviously happening. Commentators are talking about it. Pundits are talking about it. Managers are talking about it. Players are talking about it. And, yes, fans are talking about it.
The debate has gotten so pervasive, in fact, that commentators and pundits alike regularly say “see, this is an example of VAR working correctly” when VAR actually does something right. They literally feel the need to point out when it worked well, because they are constantly seeing head scratching situations involving VAR. Commentators are even making jokes—after analysing an incident and sharing what they think VAR will rule as VAR is reviewing an incident—“but who knows with VAR [laughing]” or “but watch VAR rule the exact opposite [laughing]” or “anything can happen with VAR, though [laughing]”.
Seemingly only you don’t see it happening, choosing to live an alternate reality where rules and laws are absolute and are not reliant on being actually followed and enforced by humans.
You can say “no decision is a decision” as much as you like to try to obfuscate the obvious shift in officiating, but you’ll just be taken less and less seriously each time you do.
