cnut. Sorry, that was a reflex.
Rather alarmingly, the VAR thought he got the red card call right. He was right to not give Dortmund the penalty initially and should have had the courage of his convictions to stick with his original decision.

Same, the tackle at full speed looks bad as it's coming through the back of Anthony and looks like he might have caught him on the ankle.I get how he made the error in real time, I have zero idea how VAR didn't overrule.
VAR has not been the problem at all, the technology if used correctly is great, however if you have idiots controlling it and making idiot decisions then it will never work
Because Bellingham made another step and then went down like he was hit that second. It was a "dive" because the way he was hit, he would've never gone down. This is the only thing i hate about the VAR, players know full well if they go down when there was contact, they'll most likely get a pen. Even though the actual contact wouldn't always make them go down. Not really a dive, but still a way to trick the ref.I think the penalty was called right. The guy hits Bellingham's ankles with his knees, I don't see how that is not a penalty.
The red card however... That has to be one of the worst decisions I've seen post VAR. The studs aren't raised, and he doesn't even hit him. Just an insane decision by the VAR team.
100% true and it goes even further than that. A ref gets grades at the end of games and if his grades aren't high enough, he could miss out of bonuses. Overturning his decisions with VAR negatively impacts his grades.The problem isn't that they're idiots, but that UEFA has set up steep hurdles for them to call the ref out. They have to ask the ref what he saw, that's the first thing they have to do, and as long as his descrition isn't completely and obviously erroneous they aren't even allowed to call him over to the screen to look at it. If Oliver said that he saw Hummels go into a reckless tackle or something along that line that's evidently not enough to allow the VAR-crew to intervene.
The whole system is set up to not embarrass UEFA's shit refs by constantly overturning their decisions.
Stuart Attwell was the var who's another terrible ref.
What are the chances that he was one of them teacher's buttlickers at school who used to tell the teacher there was a homework when they forgot about it?
He must have been absolutely gutted at having to disallow Villa's "goal" even though there was a clear foul and offside in the build up. I agree that was one of his better games, but I was amazed to see the post match stats on BBC website that Villa only conceded one foul all match. Really?Fair play, one of his better games last night. Didn't know he had it in him to make the right decision when he went to the monitor.
Still an obnoxious cnut though.

Thanks. BBC have updated their website now to show 6 fouls. Which is still low!They conceded 6 fouls + 3 offsides (the disallowed goal was counted as an offside).
Very odd with injury time in the City game.
Ederson was down for 2 minutes in injury time and nothing was added on. Won't complain though!
You have to spoiler such an offensive post. My lunch rumbled a bit.He has naked pictures of Ian Rush in his bedroom walls
That’s the reason he didn’t give the first. No referee likes to give themselves a decision later on in a big matchArnold should've been off by now. cnut
Agreed, think he will be though, can’t cope with Elanga. TAA brilliant going forward but brutal defending, how he didn’t get booked for the foul on Rashford is mind blowing, cynical foul, no intentions of playing the ball.Arnold should've been off by now. cnut
Maybe they should target Richard Arnold as recompenseArnold should've been off by now. cnut
