Gab is 1000% correct. Your loyalty is to the integrity of the game.. your loyalty is not to your protocols & fellow refs. Refs are glorified babysitters who truly think the game is about them. So WHY have another layer of those types of people in the process? PGMOL is corrupt.
Agreed. It took a non-referee to see the mistake and try to correct it. It took an actual referee to deny that attempt to make things right. Darren England is a corrupt official...and a moron...and so is his assistant VAR. That assistant should have jumped in to stop the game because the VAR didn't want to. They are both culpable and corrupt.
Agreed. These refs are so so arrogant. Pep said it in his press conference, they make themselves the main characters when the focus should be on the game and the players
Not all referees, but yes the ones do. As a referee, the best referees are the ones that treat it like a job and not like a performance. I reffed with both types. The ones that show up, in ow the sport, know the rules, do their job, get paid go home and get back to their life are the best referees with no arguments with parents and coaches. The ones that show up and try to impress everyone and talk about themselves and how much they know always forget that it’s about the actual participants and not the referees always make the biggest mistake because they are not their to referee they are there to convince themselves they are the most important person in the world.
🛑It was deliberate act of cheating🤏 Just few minutes later, the same VAR dude who said he can’t do anything, showed still image of Jones foot away from the ball & called the referee to manipulate him to switch Jones yellow to straight red🤏
@@duran9664 I can't disagree because the initial image on the screen that the ref saw was Jones' boot on Bissouma's ankle. That's not how it should be done. The ref should see the replay in normal speed first. By showing that still image, you're influencing the ref's decision. Total corruption and manipulation by Darren England.
Ale is completely wrong to suggest that referees should throw the law-book out the window. It is not for them to decide. It is for the law-makers to give them a better law-book to follow
@@yoonyulntaenya couple of years ago the full time whistle went in a game between Brighton and Man U. The refs restarted the game to give Man U a penalty if I remember correctly. So why could they do that but not 1. Speak out when the ball went out after Van De Ven kicked it out of play or call the free kick back. This is worse than breaking the rule one time.
@@yoditan I watched the ManUtd incident u mentioned. Not sure about final whistle case. But in this incident there had been a 'stop and restart' so law states decision cannot be changed at that point and in any case referees should not under any circumstances intentionally "break the rules". Whether the consequences are better or worse is not for them to decide
Craig is relentless when it comes to criticizing players but searches for every excuse to defend the bad officials. Thanks to Ale and Gab for the honesty.
This seems like it’s leading to wide spread changes which will help the league in the future and improve the VAR process. So credit to Liverpool putting out a strong statement and not just accepting the statement from the PGMOL, who undoubtedly would have wanted to keep this as quiet as possible.
Ya, they were so quick to release Van Dijks discussion to the ref. Love that Liverpool went after this. Hope they go further. This has really cost us. One of the red cards was bs also. Jotas 2nd yellow was legit tho, so he only has himself to blame.
Changes at what cost? 3 valuable points lost. Winning streak gone for a toss. Saw some stupid TOT fans and their players celebrating like they won their first teophy
In rugby union the ref asks tells this is my onfield decision can you confirm or not, they watch the replay on the big screen that's fans ref and var then the var tells the ref his recommendations and the ref makes his decision.
They have. This audio confirms my suspicions about what goes on in the booth. What I have noticed is that we get some real shockers when VAR officials have more than one thing to look at. Example: Not checking if it is a bookable offense for Pickford to wipe out Virgil Van Dijk. They were checking an offside and "forgot". Example: Ignored Rodri handball at Everton that cost Liverpool the title. They were checking an offside and "forgot" about the handball.
I think we just found out why they do in fact make a lot of mistakes. A bunch of headless, brainless chickens. Props to the video operator who sounded like the youngest and most junior of the lot who was the only one trying to stop the game. Astonishingly the VAR didn't seem to be watching the restart as it took 10 of 15 seconds after the restart before he realised - after being told - that the ball was in play. This is someone who is supposed to be REFEREEING the game.
Compare the VAR with the TMO during the Rugby World Cup. They stop the running clock, they take the time and have a running dialogue talking through the situation and communicate clearly. When a decision is reached, the TMO and referee clearly enunciate the course of action and they keep going. If rugby can make it work, the PGMOL should be able to make it work.
There was no miscommunition, no mistake, it was Darren England who intentionally withheld information from Simon Hopper. Darren England does not have the right, nor was it within the rules to decide if a restart was necessary. He took matters into his own hands when he shouldn't be. He has to be investigated thoroughly and a lawyer should be brought in to look at this.
did you not watch and listen to the video,he communicated to the ref check complete but he failed to realize that the onfield call was offside,so him telling the ref check complete means play on and the onfield call stands,it was obviously a very stupid mistake by him,he should be 1000% focused on the match instead of whatever he was doing
Wow, I had no idea about the WC final. Gab is spot on, the allegiance of the referee should lie with upholding the integrity of the game, not some arbitrary protocol. If the refs had common sense & stopped the game to give the goal, they would've earned praise AND new rules could've still been implemented based on the event - so breaking protocol would not have necessarily opened a Pandora's box.
Yep, better to break with protocol, and cause an review/revision of the protocols, than to continue as if nothing happened, and change nothing when the integrity of the game is on the line. Liverpool were right to pursue this, and not just accept the status quo.
Agreed. And Tottenham wouldn't have fought it because everyone knew that goal was good. Darren England broke the rules by preventing a legitimate goal to be awarded. And he compounded it by not stopping the game WHEN HIS SUPERIORS AT THE PGMOL TOLD HIM TO. Darren England should never referee another game in the PL. Let the UAE have him. Good luck!
Yes the Zidane headbutt was famously initially not seen by on pitch officials & not even initially transmitted on airwaves as it was an off the ball offence - the main cameras were following the ball & Zidane was headbutting further up the pitch. The 4th official clocked it & with additional camera views realized what happened. There was also the issue before VAR became an official thing of referees referring to the large in stadium screens replays to inform/review challenges to make their decisions. This was a time before there was any hard agreement about using cameras to in form in game decisions by refs .... Problem was referees weren't in control of what images they had access to to make their ruling which got some people upset
Just an observation. The original PGMOL story is BS. Right after the goal was scored, the ref said: "Coming back to the offside mate". The VAR guy followed up with "checking the offside"! Event the top banner on their monitor was saying "Checking disallowed goal". They KNEW that the call was offside. And they followed up with "check complete". Meaning they've validated the offside call after determining that the goal was valid.
Exactly! Later, the video operator confirms that the onfield decision is offside, and he says “Are you happy with that?” The AVAR then says, “Yes.” Later, the AVAR then says “He’s played him, he’s gone offside.”
He won't be working as VAR anymore I don't think. Or he shouldn't. He may be quite competent when he's working matches as head referee, but there's something missing in his makeup for the VAR job.
Can someone do a favour and take a look at the Salah offside goal against Chelsea this season... VAR on duty was Darren England... I am struggling to see the offside...are the lines drawn correctly? second opinion please?
What Jamie said about the ref going to the monitor and being told what they are to do by VAR instead of actually letting the ref look at the actual issue proves this was done on purpose. They just thought that protocol would get them saved. He made sure to say I can’t do anything. That means the VAR room told the ref to send Jones off, and purposely disallowed the goal by miscommunication. That is why he ignored what Oli was saying. He waited for the ball to kick off then he suddenly heard what Oli is saying. This was done on purpose all day.
100% very very easy for those two 🤡to act dumb until the ball had been kicked . They absolutely knew what they were doing . Giving as much advantage to spurs as they could . Jones red and allowing jotta first yellow
NRL bunker in Australia is a shining example of where the audio from the team in the bunker is played live to the TV audience whilst at the ground the visual is on the big screen. Teh ref tells them what he wants them to look at. They go through what they are looking at, explain what they are seeing and then "We have a Decision"....hit the button........."Try" or "No Try". Clear as day. Also with on-field knock-ons, all explained as the visual plays for everyone to see. They even point out other infractions that they see which are not necessarily what the ref saw and asked them to look at. e.g. a knock on check but one which was caused by a strip or high tackle. Football NEEDS this level of transparancy of decision making. Shocking. Game should be replayed. It is tainted.
Its clear var and avar were not watching the game. How else could you explain how they were so confused. It took the one guy who wasnt a ref multiple times of tring to tell them till they figured it out. They seemed so confused. That poor video operator was helpless. They should fire the 2 and make the operator a var, hes earned it
They should fire the VAR operators and give the job to that video operator. He's a legend and had they listened to him they could have prevented all this
Even after realizing the "mistake," the VAR Darren England compounded the issue by not stopping the game, EVEN THOUGH HIS SUPERIORS AT THE PGMOL TOLD HIM TO STOP. Truly unbelievable. Corruption, corruption, corruption.
The problem seemed to me to be that one of the cooks seemed to have gone temporarily def dumb and blind. Darren England's colleagues seemed to be having an awful lot of trouble getting him to hear and understand plain English. Amazing how he just doesn't seem to grasp anything that's going on or being said until enough time has past that he can say, it's too late now, we can't do anything.
Absolutely - this throw out any defense they can even dare to provide, he just didn't want to hear, and he ask's"Olie?" well Darren Olie was your boss on the day
Although var knew diaz was onside they let the offside call stand and allowed for play to continue so they can claim they cannot reverse it by using their rules as a cover . Rules in this case certainly are not justice and not sticking to the rules can bring justice. Case in point , as an example, a mucher bigger game than Saturday's game of Liverpool vs. Tottenham The final of the 2006 world cup ,Italy vs France . I watched the game live and whoever else has think back. When Zidane headbutted Materrazi the ref did not see it and because he didnt he didnt stop play . The linesmen also didn't see it and therefore did not raise the flag. After play was stopped because of the man on the ground the refferee and the linesmen went to confer. Now remember, var was not around at the time . Offocials could only by rule make calls only by what they can see. The entire time the ref and linesmen are conferring a large screen in the stadium was showing the headbut over and over again. The ref only gave Zidane a red because he saw the replay . Of course they would not admit that because it wasnt according to the then rules ,but it was the correct call. And I was rooting for France but the red card was the right call
The fact of the matter is, they're not watching The one game they're paid to watch. Had they been watching the game, they would've seen the offside call like the rest of the world did. Must've been watching the Ryder cup for real. They should be fired. Straight up
Simple. The SINGLE most important part of a football game is scoring a goal. If you don’t go back and reward a goal, what is Liverpool going to continue doing? Getting a goal! No one is going to blame you for “slowing” down a game when you’re helping a team ACHIEVE their whole point of playing the game = score a freggin goal!
Once play has restarted, the decision cannot be changed. It is the law. Neither the VAR nor the on-field ref has the discretionary power to intentionally go against this law by which they are bound by. Craig asks absolutely the right question in "where do you draw the line...1 minute? 10 minutes?" and Gab is absolutely wrong to say that "they can go back 15 seconds". It is not up to the refs to decide to throw the law-book out the window, it is up to the law-makers to give them a better law-book to follow
@@rolanddeschain588 It is not up to them to decide which laws to follow and which laws not to follow under any circumstance. I don't defend the initial mistake, but if they had intentionally gone against the law to change the decision after the restart, that would have been 1000 times worse
@@AppLe-cn1zo If you're talking about Man Utd penalty, then I'm not sure because I can't find a clear stipulation in the law for that kind of scenario. However, for this case the law is 100% clear that after a 'stop and restart' the decision cannot be changed
I actually cant believe how much chaos is in the comms, they're trying to deal with massive issues with numerous people talking over each other with no-one person really in control. Comms should be the first port of call for Webb to improve, it is far far from good enough.
The very point of referees and VAR is to keep the sport fair and just. Instead, what we got was exactly the opposite. Somebody from PGMOL or the Premier League should take hold of this situation and call for the goal to be counted, in light of the clear evidence that has been presented. We can't be okay with hiding behind "protocols" and "the rule of law", and sticking to our guns, and basically telling the whole world that truth and justice don't really matter. What a cynical worldview to pass on to our children. It's not acceptable.
Everyone in the stadium except the VAR Official and his assistant saw that the Onfield Officials had given offside. How on earth can this be a genuine error? The game was fixed, PERIOD!
@Abdullah-vg1uc just listen to the audio. It's like they are testing VAR for the first time. Very poorly handled and the EPL has to try and protect its credibility. Their corruption gas been exposed and can't be trusted anymore
This was an accident waiting to happen. As Craig said the examples of VAR audio shown in previous weeks strongly suggested the process is a mess with people talking over each other constantly at very fast speeds. This one was barely able to be understood without subtitles.
Exactly. An accident waiting to happen. I am almost surprised this has not occurred before. Much better procedures should have been figured out years ago. One thing I have noticed is there are a lot of shockingly bad calls when VAR has multiple issues to juggle. These guys are straining to get one call right. The issue of VAR forgetting to check whether Pickford wiping Virgil Van Dijk in the box could be a bookable offense could easily happen again. Heck, it might well be why Man City won the title in 2021-22 with the "forgotten" Rodri handball at Everton.
this famous anti liverpool craig guy ask how long should the match be delayed is a complete corrupt tool. Off course it only takes less than 5 seconds. Common sense out the window when you talk to corrupt individuals.
The chaos and panic is one thing, but the biggest problem is the protocol that you can't stop the game. How stupid that the rules say we know it's wrong and has cost a goal, but oh well, too late. The computer says no.
1. Gab is spot on the pledge that they took is to uphold the integrity of the sport 2. Why did Darren England say he can’t do anything? It’s not for him to decide, he can tell the ref and doesn’t have to wait till half time to tell him. The ref can take the call whether to bring play back or not, by calling it a misplaced free kick. But the lack of accountability by England on saying can’t do anything sounds more like won’t do anything, it’s not in my contract. 100% England needs to be investigated, this has foul play written all over it, even after pgmol took 3 days.
It was one second when the operator told them they messed up. And 50 seconds before VAR said its too late. So, 50 seconds is not much to stop the game to correct it. Less than 1 minute. Come on...
What baffles me, and something which I haven't seen talked about at all is, why didn't they show the drawn lines during the games to the fans. When u watch the VAR audio, they clearly drew lines to check for offside and if they showed that during the game, a lot more people would notice that it was onside but goal was not given. Am I missing something here?
First of all, the VAR officials MUST start communicating with the on-field ref in actual full sentences! Just saying "check completed" and expecting that the ref will just know exactly what that means is STUPID and will always lead to more errors like this. If they had said instead "check completed. Player was ON-SIDE", literally all of this would have been avoided. Whoever invented this rule that the VAR officials can only say "check completed" to the ref and nothing else is extremely shortsighted. In this type of context, the sentence "check completed" is, quite ironically, an INCOMPLETE sentence! The ref needs the rest of the information!
They should just put 3 var refs in 3 separate booths and let each decide on there own. 2/3 vote wins. Influence by any word said can impact your own veiw.
What’s absolutely surreal is that they have this mega million dollar system to detect bad calls and the system that they used to communicate has got to be from the 1960s. Why not send a carrier pigeon?
That audio sounded like a typical game of operator. When you have verbal communications as your primary conveyance of information, you have to put structured language in place so that what the inputs, findings and actions to take are clear to all people taking part in the conversation (think military engagement or law officials dispatch). That all sounded very haphazard.
This match was a 6-pointer against a title contender (as of now). If these lost points make a difference in the table at the end of the season - then Liverpool should sue the Premier League for the assumed lost winnings.
The thing I can't get my head around is that since the introduction of VAR the assistant refs have not called offside unless it was clearly off. How in this instance was this called offside in real time? With all the corruption we have seen in the world game over the years, this sort of thing does nothing but bring the official's credibility into question.
It's not that they don't call offside if it's close, it's that they hold the call until the play is done. Once the part is done, they either put their flag up or not depending if they thought that earlier decision was offside or not
“Check Complete” is absolutely inconclusive and needs to be prohibited in their protocol. Much clearer language like “Decision: No Offside” or “Decision: Offside Confirmed” must be used. VAR officials should have no problem to stop the game if there is a misunderstanding. Their loyalty should be to the integrity of the game and not to any VAR protocol.
Can’t they just announce to the whole stadium clear and transparent Goal disallowed for offside Or Goal stands Rather than Checked Cleared VAR did not even pay attention to the game
Liverpool supporter. Craig is correct about the rush to get the VAR process done. That's very clear from the audio. Fans are going to also have to accept delays as inevitable to get decisions right. What happened was still unacceptable, but it did strike me that part of the mess was possibly due to the complaints from fans about VAR ruining the flow of games. Do you want your burger & fries quickly after you order them, or do you want them properly cooked?
The thing is what rush? How many times have we seen officials take 3,4,5 or more minutes checking off sides? So often they legit do slow the game down and get this time they checked it so quickly they didn't even communicate correctly. It's the operators that are the problem.
The replay operator was able to give the confirmation screenshot of 'not offside' within 5 seconds.... is it possible for VAR officials to be given lessons in how to say 'Not Offside' instead of 'Check complete'....!!
The main issue will be the lack of punishment for their mistake. Paid 1 week vacation is the likely scenario. Corrupt organization. This match was fixed. Other matches have been fixed. Plain and simple
Is it possible for Liverpool motion for a lawsuit against the Premier League and/or PGMOL? Could those who bet on the game also file a lawsuit against the parties for their incompetence?
good point with the ref in the france final game. nooone ever doubted that he went off protocol there. in fact every1 still agrees it was the right thing
VAR Darren England surely had access in real time to the live match and commentary that we all had? If he was watching the game and listening to the referee and assistants, he would have known that the request was to check the goal that had just been disallowed for offside. Everyone else watching on TV and in the ground knew that this was the reason that the goalscorer Diaz had abruptly cut short his initial goal celebration. Darren England's final word to referee Simon Hooper, as he blows his whistle, raises his right hand in the air to signal for the offside kick to be taken, and then waves that hand vigorously two or three times in a beckoning gesture to tell them to get on with the restart, is "Off". England's "Off" is audible in the video, is included in the written transcript, but has been oddly omitted from the video subtitles by PGMOL, I can only imagine in order not to draw attention to it. And so despite everything, we are expected to believe that it took Darren England a full 15 seconds after he could see that the referee had blown for offside, the offside kick had been taken and that normal playing had resumed, not from the kick-off spot in the centre of the pitch to signal that a goal had been given, but from the offside position to signal that an offside had been given, before he realised his mistake? After immediate questioning by both his Assistant VAR Dan Cook and the Replay Operator, as well as the VAR Hub Ops. Oli, who could all see straightaway that something had gone wrong. 15 seconds after all that?? That is just not credible. Along with anything else, PGMOL's video should be re-released with the caption "VAR: Off" as Mr England's final word to the referee before the restart was actioned. The whole focus by TV post-mortems and others so far on the incident has been on the continued confusion and failure of any advice to or action by the referee to take things back after the restart, whereas VAR Darren England would surely have known all day long that the restart was the point of no return. So will the upshot of all this be that the VAR who steered this atrocious display will be back at post after the usual 1 or 2 weeks holiday and an insincere "sorry, will do better next time" from his bosses? Incredible, just incredible. If EPL are unable to get their act together, then maybe it is time for a European Super League under different management with greater transparency for the sanity of the fans.
It took a while for cricket to get their review system correct but it is now nearly flawless . With Football and VAR lets hope this is the start of change and they see how other sports do their reviews and come up with a clear and concise system that actually works. The communication was atrocious and it can easily be fixed. They should make the decision and then communicate to the ref in a manner such as this. Check complete.. Player Onside.. Goal Awarded... 4 extra words were needed so why on earth does the protocol not allow clear communications. It obviously needs changing.
I still insist that Darren England knew what he was doing! Of all the officials in the VAR room and the Oli guy, told him to tell the referee to STOP THE GAME! This was maybe 10 seconds after Spurs had taken the free kick! The SOB was more worried about protocol than the game itself! I ain't buying it!
Enough with the human error he didn’t say bad word or fought with a player they didn’t do their job, I dare anyone to go to their Boss and says I will make mistakes that will cost millions forgive me 😂 yeah right 😅
Really stupid to go down the "how long can you go back" thing, cause they already go back for penalties or red cards. This wouldn't be some new controversy.
they go back to give cards, but never free kicks or penalties after the game has been restarted; so for example, a player could be sent off on an assistants advice, yet the game restarts with a throw in.
The onfield decision is meaningless. It's an offside decision. Tell the ref offside or onside goal. Why are they trying to confirm or reverse? This is the dumbest process ever. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often with the way they talk
@@akofobia2791 he was saying it is onside, but apparently he(referee) was not hearing or ignored it. That when VAR said they cant do nothing the game has restarted. Smh.
Also, at the end of the paragraph that he starts with “Check complete…”, he ends with one word. “Off”. Why does Darren England say that? Nobody seems to have mentioned this fact? Why?
It was less than a minute. The computer operator told them immediately. Then about 30 seconds in, game stopped for a throw in. They couldve stopped it there but VAR Darren England said no, even though his superiors from PGMOL told him to stop the game. VAR finally said it's too late about 50 seconds after the free indirect kick. The VAR is a clown.
But the point brought up is legit: When is the point of no return to correct a call or a mistaken/delayed VAR call? How long is “too long/too late” to correct, and does that time get added onto stoppage time at the end of the half?
It's not about to make the decision quickly. They spent more than 3 minutes in the Everton-Luton game. In the Spurs-Liverpool game, the refs sound desperate to declare the goal offside regardless of the fact.
making a incorrect call can be a mistake or misunderstanding but not rectifying the mistake after realising it was indeed a choice and should be penalized
As a Liverpool fan, I think the only feasible outcome for the club is get on with the season for now and accept the mistake (as hard as it will be) and then see how the season finishes. If liverpool do miss out on a major league position by a point, then liverpool can look to claim damages for the lost income against the PGMOL at this point. Yes, it is hard to say for definite that the result would have definitely changed as a result of the officials actually being competent, but maybe an agreed amount of damages can be agreed by a court judge. Of course the officials are human and they make mistakes. I also understand that in their position it cant be easy to break the rules that their employers make them follow, but i would be eating myself up inside if i was Darren England and i didnt say anything to Simon Hooper at the time... The game is too big and too much money is at stake to just allow referees to not have any accountability, especially when the mistake is a factual one where there are no arguments over subjective opinions to be had.
From the footage release by the Telegraph ... The man who said to delay the game must stay. The ones who said that he couldn't do anything must resign for this season. And that 4th official ref, Oliver, seems to harm Liverpool like many times before. This one could be nothing - BUT also could cost Liverpool dearly! I remember one handball by Rodri when City led 1-0 at Goodison on February 2022. Lampard was so furious about the ref's decision. It should be ended with a draw. Then the FA or the board apologized, too. Because of that, the Reds had to become runner-up with a single point (season 2021-22).
Poor communication, no asking the on-field decision at the start, no confirmation of the VAR decision after checking, no steps from a predefined script to work to 🗒🚦 too many cooks... 🤦♂
The mistake wasnt made because it was rushed, it was made because the two VARs werent paying attention. The quick call of onside was made because it was obvious and easy. The answer was right but he didnt understand the question!
The communication was terrible. On field ref should always verbally convey the on field call to VAR. VAR should always confirm what he heard... Ref: "Call on field is offside, no goal, VAR review" VAR "Confirmed, call on field is offside, no goal, reviewing. Delay restart" Ref: "Confirmed, delaying restart" VAR: "Overturn call on field, player is onside, goal is awarded" Ref: "Confirmed, onside, goal is good to be given" VAR: "Confirmed" Then blow the whistle and signal on the field appropriately. Both sides iterate field call and VAR reviewed call and confirm. Both are equally responsible for having a clear 2 way conversation. VAR technology is not the issue, they never went to kindergarten where you learn to communicate with your peers.
all points are valid, but this particular situation could have been avoided with a simple protocol saying, that every VAR-decision on basics like offside/goal/goal line has to be communicated in its ENTIRETY to the ref, meaning not only tell him "check complete" but "check complete - not offside - goal given" (or vice versa) And it HAS to be in the protocole to avoid any form of specualtion regarding match rigging. That said, there should also be a minimum time for the offside checking process (lets say 1:00), which then everbody knows (including the audience) and with no need to do it quicker, which would allow an orderly step-by-step process to get the right picture+angle, then add the line, get the verdict by everybody at VAR, come to an consensus, communicate it as mentioned to the ref. Bit baffling it's not done in some sort of this fashion alrdy, but since they just announced new protocols, let's see what they come up with.
Honestly this isn’t rocket science! You need: 1. Var Coordinator who summarizes their view to fourth official. 2. Protocol needs a small tweak / ultimately correct decision must be paramount.😊
They saying that game already restarted and they couldn't brought back the play..so how man united got a penalty after the full-time whistle vs brighton couple years ago
It was shocking to hear how the parties involved communicated the review outcome. It seems like they have no communication protocol at all. The purpose of the review was not even established, hence the miscommunication. Why do you need to rush the review result? Watch how video referral is done in field hockey. And field hockey is played at a faster pace. They did not rush the referral result, and the review audio televised live.
Moreno had it spot on. Also Gab because this isnt tribal , where do you draw the line ? When VAR give a goal and realise within seconds , thats when Craig !!! Also where do you draw the line? I dunno ask Var they didnt bother 😂 YNWA
The linesman was at fault too! Why stick your flag up after the ball was in the net. Every goal is checked, ie offside, foul, interference etc. It added that little more confusion to what was being checked. The VAR guys were checking if the goal was legit. Which it was so they thought, not knowing that they were checking for the offside decision. If the linesman didn’t put his flag up, then the outcome would have been so simple.
Next time in the VAR room: "This Norton Antivirus scan just checked complete" "5000 malicious files were found corrupted" "stop the game, we must burn down the building"
