Iminavest Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The officials watching the VAR screens should be given 30 seconds to review. If they can't decide after that with various angles/speeds then there's no way any decision can be deemed to be a clear and obvious error. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 VAR was right that Diego Costa shouldnt have ahd a penalty. Why did no one mention that there was also no foul and it was a clear dive from him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Second one was a penalty. Fernandinho did a poor marking job at a free kick and needlessly fouled an attacker who was never getting close to the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The test is "clear and obvious". 30 seconds more than ample. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I love how Peter Walton could give two f**ks about the opinion of Rio Ferdinand and Owen Hargreaves on the first penalty. No arguing...just reiterating that it was a correct decision whenever he spoke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a subjective decision then no matter how long you take, not everyone will agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So can the opposition players hound the ref until the 30 seconds are up? 30 seconds to check for a foul, then check offsides etc all the while the VAR is relying on a video assistant to feed them the appropriate replays. What happens if the clock is hitting 30 and VAR hasn't had time to conclusively look at the incident and just guesses, then is proven wrong? It happened in the Tottenham vs Chelsea game. Kane was definitely offside but trying to get it done quickly made it a farce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said “we might see a penalty here”....invaluable insight. Hope they are paying the boy top dollar.

Diamonds are Forever Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) How is that first penalty handball deliberate? His hands are down at his side in a perfectly 'normal' position, and the ball is smashed at him in a fraction of a second, even then he tries to remove his arm at the last millisecond. The vast majority of fouls given for handball are not actually deliberate, yet are still given. This is a great example of one.

If it were by his side he wouldn't have had to try and pull it back towards his body. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 30 seconds more than enough if clear and obvious. As for players surrounding the ref he tells them to GTF and gets the cards out if they don't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issues like playa cting, surrounding the ref etc are easy to fix. This is why I am sure FIFA genreally dont care about fixing them, You go int he dressing room pre game and tell them straight up that you will card anyone who runs up after a foul etc, then do it. After a few weeks of needless sendings off, managers will learn and deal with it. Players hounding the ref is coached into them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
