Hi My experience of these is that some of these trick corner kick can be accompanied by "verbals" such " ill take it" or "leave it for Tom". In those situations the ball is kicked into play but there is distraction at play as well. This is just plain wrong and it should not have been allowed...

Hi I'm looking to see why the decisions were made. Let's take the second one first. An AR cannot compete with technology. This is just way too tight at normal speed plus the way play unfolds it is not a decision that was unretrievable by better defending. When the ball was moved on there was...

Hi Knew it was always going to happen. Goalkeeper sent off for encroachment on save on 5th penalty kick. Already on a caution during the game. Centre half had to go into goal. Movement was limited yet it was there.

Hi There is a benefit in knowing the League and the players. The style is different, the challenges are different and it takes adjusting to.

Hi SG Depends what you mean by offence and the consequences. If the kicker deliberately blasted the ball for the second time at the GK then it is VC for which the player will be sent off. If it is frustration gone wrong and accidental then it a decision for the referee to make as to ignore, have...

Hi When the Laws of the Game were completely rewritten in 1996 all reference to the intent of a player was removed from Law 12, except handling where there must be a deliberate act on behalf of the player. The first six of the direct free kick offenses require only a careless act on the behalf...

Hi VAR is to correct clear errors AND for missed serious serious incidents. The referee was looking at it yet he MISSED the contact which under the law is a foul. There is a mistaken view that if a referee has seen the incident, made no decision that VAR is not relevant. That is not the case...

Hi This is the debate that I had on another topic Barca v Chelsea. It was argued that it could only be used on clear errors. The VaR handbook says that Video technology will only be used to correct clear errors and for missed serious incidents in defined match-changing decisions:goal, penalty /...

Hi Does it not come down the instructions given to CARs before kick off. The advice I read from the FA is not to involve CARs in decisions other than ball in and out of play, hair line goals and offside. One FA document gives the following advice briefing"" It is most likely today that all fouls...

Hi Poorly worded by me. If the VAR sees a missed incident such as the DHB in the video a‘check’ indicates that an incident should be reviewed, the referee should be informed immediately. If there is nothing to say then so be it. In this incident there would gave been . One On the Aussie one...

Hi It was not a clear error yet rather the OR part of the sentence which is ** if a serious incident / offence has been missed. If the VAR is communicating with the referee in the silent check that it was a penalty kick and a red card then the referee is entitled to go to review that serious...

Hi This is not being correctly implemented. If the player is ready to continue at the time of the restart he should be allowed to stay when an opponent has been cautioned. For me it is not badly written just poorly implemented. There is a detailed section on p202 of the lotg. I also see the...

Hi A referee can only give what he sees. So if he does not see the offence he cannot give it. He could give the restart for what he does see yet that might be unfair if he missed the original offence. It is not unusual for referees on their own to have offences committed behind their back with...

Hi One That is not what the IFAB VAR protocols says on page 6. There is the silent check and imo there is sufficient here for the referee to be informed and a formal check made. This is a penalty / no penalty decision plus a possible red card so VAR can be used.

Hi Had VAR been used it would have been a penalty. Pique can be seen to catch Alonso, then lets go, raises his arm to deny any contact. Where it happened and how is not going to result in a penalty. The officials cannot see the contact, maybe the AAR.

Hi The most obvious foul in the example was the goalkeeper trip not the simulation. That foul should have been the call with either a red or a yellow card. On review the ref could have confirmed his call or went with yellow for the simulation. Anyway I don't not see a problem with no card just...

Okay that is fine. But sure that then can be the foul. Perhaps should have gone with the foul and rescinded it under review. It look more like a foul than simulation

Hi My take on it is that there was two movements here by the goalkeeper. The first one he plants his foot which is fine and as the ball goes past him he stretches his leg out again. That double movement into the path of the attacker makes it a foul for me. The attacker does not change his angle...

Hi Onfield reaction was that it was onside. It is a grey one and it could go either way. I am inclined towards played rather than a deflection

Hi The PK caution did not involve VAR yet the referee only. Also it is not unusual for high ranking refs to get decisions wrong. Has anyone see a full stop in the run up on a penalty kick in recent times? Plenty of stuttering yet no stops so it was an unusual kick. Even the Rochdale keeper...
