The idea of clear and obvious is so subjective it allows them to ignore some and not others. If they don't want to give a penalty they ignore it, if they do they'll just say it was clear and obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bats8711 Posted 17 October 2020 Share Posted 17 October 2020 (edited) Love it unpopular opinion (probably) but that’s a foul. It’s in the box. So its a pen. I do take that it’s not a “clear and obvious error” the way most would think in the flow of play, but once you actually start looking at it - it’s a foul. Just have to hope it’s consistently applied. To add - another chance to point out how ridiculous it is that VAR doesnt play full speed replays when reviewing for possible fouls.

martyn Posted 17 October 2020 Share Posted 17 October 2020 I know Man Utd have had a lot of dubious VAR decisions, but i thought that one was fair enough to give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KingsX Posted 17 October 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 17 October 2020 The Athletic ran a piece a week ago about PL refs going to the pitch-side monitor when prompted by VAR. In 100% of cases, the ref has overturned his original call. The play has been looked at from every angle, in stop-action, and the call has effectively been made for him. He's not going to open himself to more criticism, he is going to defer to VAR and shift the responsibility. The point: the monitor is only a formality. Those of us who thought its use would return some balance and control to the ref were deluding ourselves. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t matter that it’s a foul in your opinion (or even the ref if he looked at it again) the ref didn’t give it so unless he has made a huge mistake not to give it then the on field decision stays as it is 100/100 people have to think that it’s a pen for it to be a clear and obvious error It wasn’t one of those VAR is not supposed to ‘re referee ‘ the game it’s there to correct clear errors re pens/goals and to judge if a goal is valid or if a sending off should/shouldn’t happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen piers Morgan saying it should be a red hahahahaha I’m not one to agree with Piers too often but don’t think he’s wrong. I guess it’s a culture thing. In any American sport that’s an ejection. The swarming of the ref after every call has always been one of the more jarring things about soccer to me. Should be a yellow. The time wasting may be the most annoying part of it. Would he have put his arm around the linesman in that situation if it were a man? I don’t think so. It’s kinda creepy.

RowlattsFox Posted 17 October 2020 Share Posted 17 October 2020 It was a good counter attack goal to be fair, one of them where Shelvey had to foul Van Der Beek at the start of the attack. Good finish Wan Bissaka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
