Ok from the statement. Two things. First, I agree regarding the laws of the game and the offside/foul by Dinho and said as much last night. This part:

“The second decision was also correctly made on the basis of the Laws of the Game (Law 11 – Offside) which stipulates: “if a player in an offside position is moving towards the ball with the intention of playing the ball and is fouled before playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the foul is penalised as it has occurred before the offside offence”.


Secondly, this next one is fucking ridiculous:

“When such a malfunction of the system occurs, the IFAB protocol allows for the VAR to describe to the referee what can be seen on the TV replay(s) but not tell him the decision that should be taken. The referee then makes a final decision based on his own perception and the information received orally from the VAR.”

The VAR ‘described’ what fucking happened to the ref and the ref overruled himself!?? Fuck off. That’s beyond idiotic.

I thought it was Nastasic that was the one offside and interfering with Ederson.

On their picture “when the foul occurred”, the ball is still six yards outside the box and no one is on the keeper. Correct decision as per law 11.

Crap defending by Fernadinho although Smalling can’t see a problem with it.

This is actually insane:

The referee then makes a final decision based on his own perception and the information received orally from the VAR.

"The IFAB protocol" wot we just wrote !
 
I'm confused about the circumstances under which VAR can be used. Is it only when there is a clear and obvious error or is it with any penalty incident? If it is for any penalty incident, then fair enough, the first penalty was reviewed on that basis, even though there was no clear and obvious error by the ref?

But why then was VAR not used at Stamford bridge on Monday in the fa cup when David Luis shirt was ripped by small thing? Or later when smalling held a Chelsea player in the pen area? Or is it different rules in Europe?

Therefore VAR could have been implemented at all grounds in the fa cup, rather than just at premier league grounds? Because all the matches were televised and the VAR could have watched any replays and described what happened to the on field ref? By text or semaphore or Morse code perhaps?
 
Con made by the officials. Hand ball must be seen as the hand or arm moving towards the ball.
VAR must be used as an obvious error by referee. It was not obvious.
The referee was not the man making the final decision. Rule break.
You were conned, City. You must complain. Eufa hate English Teams. Good luck.

Even the schalke bench were watching on a device and knew before VAR what had happened,of course that is supposed to be against the rules but who needs rules for our games,it stinks
