The decision at Old Toilet beggared belief! First it was ruled offside, then overturned by VAR, but most referees said the decision was wrong because of the incorrect interpretation of interfering with play. That decision was criminal!
However, as soon as I saw the handball replay of where Jack's arm was & the ball clearly clipping his fingertips, I knew straight away it would be a penalty.
They changed the rules to remove the uncertainty of interpretation out of the equation. If anything, it's the rule that needs looking at again, not yesterday's decision based on the rule.
As for Rashford's goal at the sewer, whoever was on VAR needs to go back to VAR school & not be allowed to officiate again until he can prove he's developed the ability to use his god given common sense.
And a visit to Specsavers wouldn't go amiss either! \0/
Agree with that but if they have removed uncertainty on the handball rule why did VAR not overrule the ref at West Ham when Lindlof handled the ball? They are still interpreting based upon who it is…..
