VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

That worked well, the FIFA teams are clearly more efficient than the idiots out FA had driving it in the FA cup.

Eh. Except they got it wrong

Another fudged up decision by VAR.

Looked correct to me, trapped his foot on the follow through which took him down.

That’s a pen for me.

That’s a pen for me.

If you think he touched the ball (did you?)and the follow through warranted a penalty then fair enough.

But I didn't think the follow thru was particularly reckless.

You got shares in VAR? that was no penalty.

Attacker was through with the ball at his feet and got tripped, at that point the earlier ball contact from the defender is irrelevant imo.

The 'earlier' ball contact and the follow thru are part of the same action.

I know the rules have changed about following thru even if you get the ball but I thought it had to be aggressive. Loads of 'tackles' end up with the man being tackled falling over.

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

Anyways ..Back to all square now, thanks to that considerate defender.

Wasn’t a penalty fore but it was the right use of VAR

VAR isn’t going to correct a refs opinion but is should help him inform himself

That was quick and didn’t break up play

Would have been interesting though if play had gone on for longer

Completely disagree

It’s like a keeper making a save and then making contact with a player after

The contact after shouldn’t be a penalty unless the subsequent “knock” was agreesive or maliscious

If the tackle/save doesn’t dispossess the attacker that should be a distinction.

It did... it cleared the ball whcih then hit the attacker

What is the defender meant to do?

Not trip him up, the attacker was through in the box with the ball at his feet, he then got tripped from behind, how can that not be a penalty?

Spot on, i think some are defending VAR because they have made such a song and dance about how it is good for the game.

But the defender got the vall first not the attacker
At no point did griezmann have control of the ball IMO

Well goal line tech is great

My opinion is he’d ridden the tackle and escaped with the ball.

It is without a doubt ( and i have said that one here many times) there can be no doubt about goal like tech, the rest though is always going to be subjective and can not be a definate like GLT.

And use it for offside because you can prove that quickly
