VAR thread 2022/23

Incorrectly ruled out as mentioned above.

VAR missed Candreva near the corner flag.

Not that I give a fuck about Juventus but it's a bit of a howler.

This is the VAR equivalent of Roy Carroll scooping the ball out of his net with the ball a yard over the line.

Whoever was on VAR needs either a year’s retraining or another job.

Common sense ? Booking someone for taking his shirt off is not common sense. It is a stupid rule brought in by idiots. It started when players had sponsors names under their shirts, rather than deal with that one problem, they went at it with a steam hammer.
They are taking all the emotion out of the game.
Re the Var. It seems a correct decision and yet it is being argued about in Italy, saying he was in fact onside. So var hasn't decided anything.

See MCFC’s post above, there was another player that VAR missed.

They drew the lines using the wrong defender. Inept.

Ref gave that decision against Micah in the semi at anfield so with or without VAR it has been awarded.

The handball rule is different in England than it was then. If Michah did that now at Anfield, it wouldn‘t be a penalty in the League Cup, but would in a CL semifinal.

That happens now, doesn’t it?

If it does why has not one ref decided to stick to his original decision? Not once has it happened.

Sorry yes I saw that after posting. A perfectly good, match winning goal chalked off by an Var and his never wrong computer.
Who'd have thought it.
I'm so suprised I've had to sit down.

Michael Oliver did for a handball penalty decision last weekend for Forest against Bournemouth.

You’re right that it should happen more often though.

It’s probably the worst VAR decision I have seen since it came in.

Where does it sit for you in the inept vs manipulated/corrupt?

Has this image knocking about on Twitter of the guy near the corner flag playing the Juventus player on being verified as been “real”? Sky have been showing the incident this morning and not even mentioning it, which seems a bit odd.

Yeah, Sky Italia were made aware of it after the game and they measured the distances to the goal line.

Candreva was playing Bonucci on by about half a metre.

Just seems a bit odd why Sky England have been talking about the game all morning with no mention of it. Even the Italian “expert” journalist they had on was still talking about it being the correct decision earlier.
