Can't really find one - but I guess the rules of VAR is to use it, if a big error has not been spotted by the ref. This was not big in any way I think.Is there any video (gif?) of that handball, saw it mentioned in Bundesliga thread as well.

Has this really been going on for 20 odd minutes? Guy on Bein sports is calling it a technical issue.Probably the most apt thread.
Currently watching the African Champions League final. They are using VAR for the first time.
WAC just scored a perfectly legit goal and the linesman flagged for offside. The referee refused to go to VAR to check as he let Tunis take a quick goal quick. WAC are now refusing to play. Even VAR can't stop the home bias in Africa.
40 minutes almost now. If it isn't solved within the next 20 minutes then it will be replayed.Has this really been going on for 20 odd minutes? Guy on Bein sports is calling it a technical issue.
What a clusterfeck. Seems it might not be replayed, they might just away the win. Shocking stuff.40 minutes almost now. If it isn't solved within the next 20 minutes then it will be replayed.
Tunis are saying that VAR hasn't been working all game, which is most likely a complete lie. There is huge corruption in African football and Tunis been heavily accused in the past. There is zero chance that VAR hasn't been working all game.
Match officially interrupted now, think it'll be replayed in the next couple of days. Completely crazy. Should have just given the goal via replays and agreed to finish the game without VAR if it really is faulty.What a clusterfeck. Seems it might not be replayed, they might just away the win.

They’ve been saying that that was the suggestion as soon as that goal was scored but Wydad refused.Match officially interrupted now, think it'll be replayed in the next couple of days.

Bein guy is now getting different info. No one knows what they feck they are doing.Match officially interrupted now, think it'll be replayed in the next couple of days. Completely crazy. Should have just given the goal via replays and agreed to finish the game without VAR if it really is faulty.
Yeah but if the game should be continued without VAR they should go with original linesman decision isn't it? Otherwise it will be selective use of replays. I know it's unfair but what would have happened if there was a clear penalty denied by ref?Match officially interrupted now, think it'll be replayed in the next couple of days. Completely crazy.

They showed the replay in the stadium straight after so everyone knew it was onside. Apparently that can't be used under the regulations.What a shit show. Like they couldnt just have the tv replay shown to the ref on a tablet. 45 plus minutes and no one thought of that? what a joke.
The game is meant to have VAR though and until this point the belief was VAR was in use. At least if the goal is given then the teams are informed that VAR is no longer in use then both sides know the script at least.Yeah but if the game should be continued without VAR they should go with original linesman decision isn't it?

Fair enough but not sure if they can use other replays other than the one they have for VAR. Might be completely wrong but I thought that's how it works.The game is meant to have VAR though and until this point the belief was VAR was in use.

No-one, I just bet the group stages then watch the later stages for interest/knowledge for next seasonWho did you put money on?
Ah, fair enough. Wanted to watch a game involving TP Mazembe but couldn't find a stream for the life of me.No-one, I just bet the group stages then watch the later stages for interest/knowledge for next season
Refs have too much power. They shouldn't decide games as they wish.Ref just awarded Espérance the win and just like that they’re champions of Africa

Technically yesDid VAR get the Portugal/Switzerland penalty incident correct?
Who cares? It was brilliant entertainment!Did VAR get the Portugal/Switzerland penalty incident correct?
I don’t think so. The penalty awarded was incredibly harsh.Did VAR get the Portugal/Switzerland penalty incident correct?
VAR didn't decide it. It was referred to the referee for viewing.Did VAR get the Portugal/Switzerland penalty incident correct?
A bit harsh, but Semedo's knee caught him in flight, and it caused him to trip over his own feet, which is why it went to VAR. Seen them given and missed.I don’t think so. The penalty awarded was incredibly harsh.
An accidental tangle of legs shouldn’t be a penalty. He’s a quality referee so not surprised he didn’t give it in real time. Watching multiple replays while the whole world waits for a decision seems to make referees overthink these things.

If you are running after a player and you accidentally catch his heels and make him fall, it's a penalty. A lot of this will happen this season with VAR.An accidental tangle of legs shouldn’t be a penalty. He’s a quality referee so not surprised he didn’t give it in real time.

You may be about to encounter the new-ish rule that says that all VAR decisions are by definition of emanating from the VAR process considered to be 100 % correct.An accidental tangle of legs shouldn’t be a penalty.
