So?Didn’t a game last season go for 113 minutes because it took nine minutes to review a penalty decision?

You mean a bigger farce than a game ending with the wrong result?
Yeah, that’s a perfectly acceptable thing to happen on a football pitch and not at all an absolute farce.
It took nine minutes and the ref didn’t even change his original decision. The VAR made absolutely no difference to the game, just made an absolute mockery of it for taking nine minutes.You mean a bigger farce than a game ending with the wrong result?
Just because he took a shot, the fecking ref thinks it was advantage or something. Next game, I think he will do a proper diveSeeing Salah get that penalty off from VAR... I can’t understand how Martial wasn’t given the pen. Like Drogba would have said; Disgrace!
Rare farcical situations are the price to pay to avoid much more common farcical mistakes by the refs. It's a trade, one that falls squarely in favour of VAR so farIt took nine minutes and the ref didn’t even change his original decision. The VAR made absolutely no difference to the game, just made an absolute mockery of it for taking nine minutes.
I swear VAR diehards have absolutely no feel for the game. If anyone finds that kind of delay acceptable we might as well be watching different sports.
You think that is the reason he didn’t get it? That surely must encourage players to dive instead. Ridiculous..Just because he took a shot, the fecking ref thinks it was advantage or something. Next game, I think he will do a proper dive
I have absolutely no doubt. If he dived, he would have gotten the penYou think that is the reason he didn’t get it? That surely must encourage players to dive instead. Ridiculous..
Especially since it's the same crew reviewing both situations. Then again, it's Pawson, and he's fecking shit on his best days.Seeing Salah get that penalty off from VAR... I can’t understand how Martial wasn’t given the pen. Like Drogba would have said; Disgrace!
No excuse for refereeing in Utd game today, there is VAR too which makes it even worse.Just because he took a shot, the fecking ref thinks it was advantage or something. Next game, I think he will do a proper dive
It was shocking. James also received a yellow card for being kicked in the knee. It is fecking crazy to me how shite referees are, with and without technologyNo excuse for refereeing in Utd game today, there is VAR too which makes it even worse.
I've just seen Salah one as well. May as well be a different sport being refereed in the Liverpool game...
Makes the premier league a joke for me.
How can it be remotely considered a fair sporting contest with such ludicrously inconsistent refereeing?
It's been like that for years too.
The sleeping pillow theory is dangerous though, because in practice the referee's on-field decision prejudices the VAR review.Giant pitfall imo. Pens are not given because they think VAR will catch it - good example in our game today. Its a sleeping pillow.
But it was clear and obvious, he’d spun him and was 1on1The sleeping pillow theory is dangerous though, because in practice the referee's on-field decision prejudices the VAR review.
On Martial pen, referee says no and VAR says it's not clear/obvious enough to overturn original decision. But if referee had said pen, I am certain VAR would equally have found that it wasn't clear/obvious enough to overturn original decision. So the referee could've said yes or no, and in both cases VAR wouldn't have intervened.
I agree with you on that. I was making a broader point about the sleeping pillow theory -- refs can't not make a decision on the basis that VAR will bail them out, because it seems pretty clear that VAR is placing a very high threshold on when it will intervene or not.But it was clear and obvious, he’d spun him and was 1on1
It looks on the face of it that refs have been told to tone done VAR over riding decisions after the Sterling offside and penalty retake. I mean the refs aren’t going to call out other refs for mistakes are they? If you have two incidents like Salah and Martial today, you have to scrap the whole thing until two things are treated equallyI agree with you on that.

It's quite an interesting conflict of interest that exists when the on-field refs and the VAR refs are effectively all drawn from the same pool. I wonder whether in the future there will be a move towards specialised VAR-only refs to eliminate that conflict.It looks on the face of it that refs have been told to tone done VAR over riding decisions after the Sterling offside and penalty retake.

I thought about that - but that was an innocent trip. And it would not have been given as a yellow card anywhere else on the pitch...but now that I have seen it in replay as someone pointed out, Zaha should have had 3 yellows (one for the trip, one for the clapping and then for barging through Pogba)And Milivojevic should have gotten the 2nd yellow when he fouled McTominay for the pen.
I'm sure that the commentators said it had been reviewed and they sided with the refCan someone please explain to me why was there a VAR review and an announcement after Rashford's penalty claim but no review after Martial's penalty claim which was a 100% penalty? If 70+ thousand people in the stadium, millions at home and even the commentators unanimously agreed it was a penalty, surely VAR should've called it or at least provided a formal review like with Rashford's incident afterwards?

I think it has to do with the way that the PL's "high threshold" is applied.But it was clear and obvious, he’d spun him and was 1on1
Seems like this to me too.I think it has to do with the way that the PL's "high threshold" is applied.
The referee first tells VAR what he saw. If that vaguely matches what VAR see then they don't intervene. Which in effect means that VAR will only really intervene if the referee has missed something (i.e doesn't spot the incident at all, thinks there isn't contact when there is, etc.) rather than has seen the incident but interpreted it in the "wrong" way (i.e. "I saw X but didn't think it was enough for a penalty").
I'm very much in favour of VAR generally but the PL's system is fundamentally flawed due to their high threshold. It means the referee's original view of an incident still carries too much weight and dictates what VAR can and can't do, which will inevitably lead to inconsistent decisions.
Good point. Has anyone been reffered to the pitch side monitor yetI like ref running away to the screen outside the field, watching closely, and making a tv sign with his hands and pointing to a spot...
In England they just point to their ears and telling players "dunno mate, I'm waiting too".
Death to VAR!
Are there even monitors on pitches? Can't remember now seeing one...Good point. Has anyone been reffered to the pitch side monitor yet
