He stopped play immediately after the ball went out, which was fairly quickly in the case of the handball incident.All I can say is I have never noticed an incident where a referee has stopped play without making a decision to get the VARs opinion. It certainly didn’t happen in the handball incident that you used as an example. Play continued until it was out of play in the other half. I’ll keep an eye out. Out of interest, how does play restart in these instances, when the VAR rules there’s been no offence?
In the case of the Mitoma potential penalty incident, the ball was immediately out of play and he stopped play to just stand outside of the penalty box and listen to his earpiece, again telling all of the players approaching him that was what he was doing.
Play resumes normally as it always does.
Again, you are trying to shift to non-sequitur to distract from your argument having no weight in reason or fact.
Referees are leaning on VAR to make decisions for them, rather than make the decisions themselves and have VAR confirm if they are correct or not.
There will be more examples of this as the season goes on and I am sure you will continue to explain them away for some strange reason.
