This is beyond basic. Must be a lack of concentration and/or awareness not helped by being a hood yard out of position.
Clearly not expecting the English mistake but not exactly a suitable excuse
That really is truly terrible positioning by the AR. But even with the poor positioning she has to be seeing that as offside.
Don't think any women's domestic league uses VAR.I know it may sound stupid, but are officials too used to VAR, assuming these use it at national level back home, that they forget that they've not got VAR to fall back on?
even if they did, ARs get dinged for missing calls,so they have no reason to be lackadaisicalI know it may sound stupid, but are officials too used to VAR, assuming these use it at national level back home, that they forget that they've not got VAR to fall back on?
I know I keep saying this, but no referee or assistant will ever duck a call hoping that VAR will bail them out. As even if they are bailed out by VAR they will still get an incorrect KMD. They might as well guess at the decision if they aren't sure, if they guess it right VAR won't get involved, if they get it wrong VAR will (potentially) correct it but they are still getting a 7.9. There's absolutely no benefit to not make a decision and hope VAR helps you, it might get the right decision but it won't help you as an official.I know it may sound stupid, but are officials too used to VAR, assuming these use it at national level back home, that they forget that they've not got VAR to fall back on?
It's interesting though, not a single England player appears to appeal for offside.
Did the AR have a moment and get caught out by ball watching? Some won't admit it, but I bet at some point, we have all had moments in games where we effectively zone out and it takes a few seconds to refocus and by that time, you just might have missed a KMI....
I know I've done this and I've often been lucky that the situation was easy, but there have been times where I had no idea where the player was when the deflection or pass was made.Yeah probably exactly what happens
I bet we do it multiple times a game. It's unfortunate yes...but there's a reason I'm lining step 5/6/7, she needs to be better here, and will no doubt have been told that too by those higher up
