The VAR thread

If this is our pen there’s contact. 

 

I am am more concerned with what the fck Marc Albrighton is doing there than VAR tbh. Pissed off.

Contact doesn’t mean it’s a penalty

[Itsthejoeker]

Mane’s gone down holding the wrong ****ing ankle too, my blind nan could have seen that dive the first time around

[Guest ttfn]

Literally no point in VAR being implemented in the way it is.

 

If the referee gets a chance to look at that on a monitor I guarantee he changes his mind. Nobody is going to look at that in the cold light of day and think it’s a foul.

Nothing wrong with var there ..... contact means it’s not a clear and obvious error .......just a sh1te decision from the ref

No it doesn’t you are right, normally a good start though. That’s a distance from a clear and obvious error for me.

 

Again, what are we doing never mind var. running the ball into our own box with 2 mins left.

[HoustonFox]

It was a penalty. Albrighton should  have got rid of it and not made it even a thing

Like Wolves and Spurs goals against us then?

Like I said you use it for offsides, correct me if I’m wrong but has a penalty decision or red card been overturned or changed

I don’t think Albrighton had any other option but to take the ball into the box then, did he? Shambles afterwards but he needed to win that first ball.

**** off is it a penalty! That’s as clear a dive as you’ll ever see! Yes there’s contact but not enough for him to go down.

Yes Albrighton should have got rid of it, but feck me if that’s a penalty the game has gone soft.

[TeamRocket]

Hate football just become disgusting 

[cityfanlee23]

Penalty. Blue tinted specs again. If it was against Vardy we would all want a pen, clumsy from Albrighton.

Intially he’s heading towards it yes but kick it out for a throw man.

Yeah I just think with the momentum he had his only option was to go where he went. I think Kasper should have taken the ball from there.

Genuinely can’t believe some people think that’s a penalty.

 

Where did this idea come from that “contact = penalty”? Albrighton hasn’t impeded Mane at all there, contact or not. It’s a clear dive and the referee has got to have the ability to go back and look at it again there rather than some sycophant in Stockley Park slapping him on the back and telling him it’s all good.

 

Albrighton was stupid but that’s just not a foul. Let alone one you give as a penalty in the last minute of the game.

 

[Karl_LCFC]

Mane still in possession takes the ball out of his feet AFTER the contact and then goes down. Contact doesn't mean pen, dive for me...

Exactly, how is it a foul if Albrighton hasn’t impeded him?

Most people will see that as a dive and no pen.   But some think it was a pen. So how can it be a clear and obvious error to give it?  The error lies with the ref in giving such a soft decision to begin with .....var can’t take account of an intimidated official ..... 

 

if there hadn't been any contact or mane had initiated the contact then VAR would have over ruled it.  Pretty straightforward .....var isn’t going to change refs giving soft pens to the big clubs ....

Those are given every week. It’s a soft one but it’s still a penalty

You’re entitled to your opinion but I think you have to face the fact that if there are enough Leicester fans saying it’s a pen on here it’s not going to get overturned by a system that’s implemented to prevent blatant errors. Especially in the prem where I don’t think it’s overturned a single decision that’s not an offside.

[Sly]

First glance, I thought it was a penalty. The ref only gets one look at it. 
 

On review (VAR) I think he’s dived.

 

Mane is a nobber

Exactly, which is why the referee has got to have the opportunity to go and look at it again.

 

The threshold is ridiculously high, there’s been 75 games this season and no refereeing errors overturned except for offsides and this insane new handball law.

 

 

[Corky]

Contact will always be subjective and I don't think video refs are going to overturn them. You need to remember they are fellow referees and will look at it from their point of view and if there's contact, more than likely given.

 

We need to respond in the next game.

Because he’s fallen over, you think (as well as I do) he’s thrown himself to the ground but that’s interpretation and VAR isn’t there to over rule on interpretation.

 

Its a shit decision for me but you’re pissing in the wind if you think it’s getting over turned, there will be plenty of pundits he say good call referre

He has thrown himself to the ground though, holding the wrong ankle.

Which was my original point, if there not going to overturn decisions like that, what are they ever going to overturn?

May as well just use it for offsides, at least then we all know where we stand.
