VAR: Sponsored by Chelsea

it was a clear and obvious foul. var shouldve picked it up when the ref didnt. its obviously a huge and clear error - how can it be otherwise when a striker bearing down on goal is pulled back?

It's one that regularly wouldn't be given

disagree. its one that would be given the vast majority of times had it occurred in the middle of the pitch. isnt the whole point of var to give referees a second look at a high pressure decision such as this - so that they can correctly award the foul, where in the past they have bottled it.

also its not about whether a foul is "regularly given" or not. surely var is about enabling officials to make correct decisions regardless of the past.

Either the VAR didn't think there was an obvious error or the ref on the pitch turned down a review. All the technology in the world can't fix the human element.

Let it go, it was a pen all day long.
 
Each team should be given an appeal time out, maybe even one each half. Then when there are incidents like Harry's non pens they can ask the ref to watch it back, if he stills says no pen the ref has to explain why.
At the moment the refs are still not accountable for their decision, they can stil just ignore what they want to.

I don't think having four potential breaks in play are going to stretch the game to long. But would it not be a price worth paying if it "encouraged" refs to take more responsibility. If refs were to be called out and had to explain there actions more these incidents would decrease.

All that would achieve is someone else suggesting other things which would turn the " four potential breaks" into four more and so on. Its a dripping tap and we have the greatest game in the world why let some idiots spoil it with brick we do not need.
 
Look at the breaks we already have at direct shot FK’s, it can be 2/3 mins. 30s for a rollback won’t make much difference.

I agree with @milo any kind of challenge will be used tactically by smarter coaches.

In my mind I've got Mourinho, his team 1-0 up with five minutes left on the clock and on the back foot.

Yep, and to be fair, in that situation, with that tool at your disposal, any manager that doesn’t employ it is an idiot.

Jose would challenge a decision that went for United if it could burn some clock.
 
Serbian FA lodge complaint to FIFA over the VAR failure in the Mitrovic incident and employing a German ref for a Swiss game.
