You're right. Frustration got the best of me. I've deleted the post.
What an awful, awful miss from Taylor that changes the game almost immediately. And with his AR standing right over the play, as well.
So Chelsea's FA CUP final equalizer against Leicester is overruled by VAR because the tip of Chilwell's sleeve might have been a fraction of a...
Yikes. In NEW-CHE, Yedlin viciously elbows Giroud in the face, takes him out of the play completely, then hits a peach of a cross for the...
That's fair. Certainly within the context of the tournament I can't disagree with the way it was handled. As a fan and a former referee and former...
Well, I've watched most of it, so I don't really know what else to say. To me, this is the worst kind of simulation and it absolutely deserves a...
Not punishing players for blatant cheating has also not been going over well!
Did you see it? Soon after Mbappe was rightly cautioned for time wasting, he invented a shove to his back and threw himself to the ground writhing...
That very clearly and very obviously should have been a second caution to Mbappe for simulation. Disgusting play and it's very frustrating that...
Big, bad miss on the cross there. Likely the AR more at fault.
Misses and/or ignores pretty obvious VC by Sanchez. Now misses and/or ignores what looked like pretty obvious SFP by Stones. Allows incessant...
He nailed that call, at least.
If FIFA wants to reduce suspensions, it should ditch the stupid yellow card accumulation rules. Referees on the field should follow the LOTG...
Exactly. But referees in this tournament do not seem interested in enforcing any aspect of the LOTG having to do with VC. The incident with a ball...
For heaven's sake. The laws are clear. The replay is clear. That is VC and has to be a sending off. There is no other possible interpretation...
Even the idea of "clear and obvious error" is so vague as to be useless, because it doesn't distinguish between "obvious error when seen one time...
The "95 out of 100 referees have to agree" thing seems far sub-optimal if the goal is getting calls correct. There is hardly anything about which...
1. Not often. 2. The evidence is that neither the double rugby tackle by Switzerland yesterday nor this was made into a penalty. There is no...
If it was reviewed and not overturned, that's even worse. Penalties don't come more clear than that. The referee's original error was bad enough....
Another clear penalty not given, and not even reviewed. I ask again: if a call that obviously wrong can't even get reviewed, what on earth is the...
I'm seriously interested in how you think the last one isn't 100% red. Ball on the ground, near Rakitic who is also on the ground, having been...
If that's not turned into a red card for VC on review, then truly, what is the point of VAR? Otamendi blasted the ball into Rakitic's head from...
Exactly. It's easy to see how the referee might have seen what we saw on the first replay. With no AAR it would have been a regrettable but...
Goodness. Three referees looking right at a clear penalty, and they don't give it. Bad, bad miss. What is the AAR for, if not to correct the...
Wow. Moses off with a second caution, for a dive in the box. A correct decision, it has to be said. But for every clear dive that's not...
