SPA for meVAR this weekend from what I've seen (there might be more?)
Martial denied a penalty.
City denied a clear penalty.
Spurs denied a penalty. Although Kane went down too easily which probably didn't help with his diving reputation.
Sanchez not sent off for pulling back Newcastle player who was through on goal. Ref and lino didn't even give the foul. Was clearly an error.
I don't get what's going on. Seems to help in some matches and others its like they were on a coffee break.
SPA for me
ike they were on a coffee break.
They were always going to do this, because they listen to what the clubs, players and fans want. Sometimes a backward step is needed to move forward. 'Premier League refs' set the highest of standards. They don't look stupid for pishing on a fire that's gotten outa hand from day 1The Premier League refs just look stupid now enforcing a standard that no one expects
Don't get me wrong, from a player's perspective this was a DOGSO and rightly should've been. However, it would have been the wrong decision because it was on half way and therefore failed to meet the criteria. So we both disagree with the guidelines, but under those teachings, it was SPABeat Sanchez and through on goal. Only reason Sanchez recovered was because he pulled him back. Why did Sanchez pull him back? Coz no one else would have got to him.
When they send egg fried rice instead of that special fried stuff to the VAR hut !!! Schoolboy errors!!I can understand why the ref might not have seen it, from his angle and full speed, it's wasn't obvious it was a foul until the showed the VAR footage.
What exactly are they using as the definition of a clear and obvious error?
I thought the same.VAR kept Salah on his feet in the Liverpool-Arsenal game.
For all the criticism he got last season for going to ground under the slightest tight on his shirt, he stayed up under the huge pull from Luiz. Confident it would be picked up with just an appeal?
