Jim McLean's Ghost Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I don't think that is an obvious mistake. Looked offside though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Does that constitute a "game's gone" moment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Not for me Clive. One hand on the ball can’t be seen as possession. Even if that’s the rules, the rules are an ass. Edited December 5, 2021 by The Master 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I'm really not convinced Schmeichel had that ball under control there. It looked like it could easily have squirmed from his grasp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser Fyvie Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Schmeichel was holding the ball to the ground and Ramsey booted it through him. Correct decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I don't think it should be thoughI don't think it should either. Can't remember which game it happened in previously, but it was in that game that I found out having one hand on the ball holding it in place on the ground(insert relevant gifs here), counts as having it under controlMotherwell v Hearts in the cup a few years ago? That's how I found out about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which to me means it was not an obvious error by the referee and VAR should not have looked at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Stiles Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Ridiculous. Ball was loose, both went for it, Schmeichel gets there a micro second before Ramsey in the same move. Back to joke decisions in the keepers favour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Harsh decision but that's the rules apparently. Worth it for Stevie G's look of anguish though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. VAR is only supposed to check for clear errors. From the Premier League website. "VAR is used only for "clear and obvious errors" or "serious missed incidents" in four match-changing situations: goals; penalty decisions; direct red-card incidents; and mistaken identity." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
